Wohlauf, Ihr Gäste gut,
seid fröhlich, frisch und wohl gemut,
den Griesgram wolln wir zwingen.
Fa la la la la.
Frisch auf, schenk ein, G’selle mein,
den guten, frischen, kühlen Wein.
Fa la la la la.
Frisch auf, wir wollen fröhlich sein,
tu mir Bescheid, Geselle mein,
und trink den guten, kühlen Wein.

Well then, you good guests,
be merrily, sanguine and in good spirits,
the grumbler we will overcome.
Fa la la la la.
Let's get started, pour, my companion,
the good, fresh, cool wine.
Fa la la la la.
Let's get started, we want to be cheerful,
let me know, my companion,
and drink the good, cool wine.
Fa la la la la.
