Raise your tankards
Whoever wants to fish in troubled waters
for amusement and fun
can also sit at joyful tables
with a full glass
Whoever thinks he has no choice
should make a break for mirth instead
For our lives our only
on loan for so long.
(REF:)
Raise your tankards round the table
Wash that lie out of your mouth
That you have to take life the way it is
Raise your tankards and together
We celebrate good tidings
Life is actually only able to take you
Take you as you are
Surely it makes no sense to toil away
To paint the earth grey
To fixate yourself on your transcience
and to quarrel over possessions?
Surely it makes no sense to grow stiff
If you've had enough of your daily pay
Then don't hold any of it back
If you're one for dreaming
(REF)
(INTERLUDE)
So I party when I want to
Whenever a reason presents itself
and if I'm under the spell of worries
then I'll strike up a little song
And if melancholy defeats me
I'll dance with flying legs
And if loneliness weighs too heavily on me
Then I'll wish for some beauty over here for me
And if the barmaid leaves me alone
Then the wine shall be my darling
(REF)(2x)
