"The first barrel is empty, Come brothers tell us something of your wide travels. Speak and raise your cups!" The old, bearded travelling man began the story, Of when once from afar the hunt-horn sounded, and huntsmen chased through the forest "The stag threatened to flee, Yet I ran faster than the beast, With just my fists I fought it down, And the antlers here as proof!" The old, bearded travelling man began the story, Of when once the storm churned the sea, and man and beast were washed from the deck "The ship threatened to sink, the sails tore like paper, I took a breath and blew the storm away And the sailcloth here as proof! "The first barrel is empty, Come brothers tell us something of your wide travels. Speak and raise your cups!" The old, bearded travelling man began the story, Of when once the enemy took the town, the catapults tore the gate apart "I snuck up from behind My war cry rang like a thounsand men! They ran forth like startled animals, and the helmet here as proof!" The old, bearded travelling man began the story, Of when once the Day of Judgement dawned and everyone spoke of the End "Flames leaked into the world as open stood the Gates of Hell. I slammed them shut and my lock held And the key here as proof!" "The first barrel is empty, Come brothers tell us something of your wide travels. Speak and raise your cups! I have told of my hunt, and how I quelled the storm, How I banished the evil foe, and locked the gates to Hell Now roll in the second barrel, We only want more fun. And if we haven't drunk too much to dance joyfully on the tables!" The wine is flowing, the beer is flowing, raise your mugs; we drink!" (not the best translation ever, but you can get the general idea) |
