Gebt mir meinen Becher! Seht, er überstrahlt
Die blasse Lampe der Vernunft, so wie
Die Sonne die Gestirne überstrahlt!
Gebt mir meinen Becher! Sämtliche Gebete
Meines Breviers will ich vergessen, alle
Suren des Korans stürz ich in den Wein!
Gebt mir meinen Becher! Und Gesang erschalle
Und dringe zu den tanzenden Sphären auf
Mit mächtigem Schwung! Ich bin der Herr der Welt!

Entrain
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch)
Donnez-moi ma coupe ! Voyez, sa brillance éclipse
la terne lampe de la raison,
Comme le soleil éclipse les autres astres !
Donnez-moi ma coupe ! Je veux oublier
la collection de prières de mon bréviaire,
Je jette dans le vin toutes les sourates du Coran !
Donnez-moi ma coupe ! Et que les chants s'élèvent
et rejoignent la valse des sphères
Debout avec fougue et énergie ! Je suis le seigneur du monde !
