Ihr Musici, frisch auf und laßt doch hören,
Die lieblich Kunst
Tut euch zusammenkehren!
Ein jeder faß sein Stimm alsbald,
Tenor und Baß, Diskant und Alt.

Singt allerseits, zur rechten und zur linken.
Denn wer nicht singt,
der soll auch nicht mittrinken.

You musicians, refresh yourselves!
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch) 
You musicians, refresh yourselves and let once more be heard
the lovely art
that draws you together!
Each one will take his part at once:
tenor und bass, descant and alto.

Sing in every direction, to the right and to the left.
For he who does not sing
may not join in the drinking!
