by August Heinrich Hoffmann von Fallersleben (1798 - 1874)

Cantilena potatoria
Language: German (Deutsch) 
So trinken wir laetifice
ein Kännlein von dem Besten,
das heilet uns magnifice
die Schäden und Gebresten.
Wir halten nostras vesperas
cantu cantilenarum
und trinken [dann ohn']1 Unterlass
salutem horum, harum.
[Trallirum]2 larum lorum!
In secula, secula seculorum.

Hört zu, dass ich es nit vergess',
amemus quas amamus,
die hübeschen feinen wirgines
vivant, et nos bibamus!
[D'rum sine ira]3 cum studio,
dass sich der Kummer wende,
so nimm, dann wird dein Herzlein froh,
das Glas in deine Hände
[und trink trallirum larum
in amore omnium sanctarum.]4
