Original text and translations

English text

Come fill the bowl, tho' winds may howl,
The sun in the ocean is sinking,
The Arctic bear sends frosty air,
Be drinking, boys, now be drinking.

Tho' waves may roll, let not a soul
On dangers ever be thinking,
With glass in hand we'll hail the land,
Be drinking, boys, now be drinking.
