~ Die Mutter hat Sorg' um die Kinder gedeihen ~ | |
The gist of this verse is that mothers needn't worry about their kids crying at night because it's only that they're crying that they don't have any beer. On the front are the mottos "Prosit" (To your health) and "Wohl gekomms" (to your health) with two happy babies drinking from beer steins. Makes sense to me. The stein is ca. 1900. | |
Die Mutter hat Sorg' um die Kinder gedeihen, weil sie des Nachts so jämmerlich schreien; Der Vater jedoch hat's herausgebracht die Kinder schreien um Bier bei der Nacht. |
The mother is worried about the children thriving, because at night they cry so wretchedly; The father however has concluded that the children just cry for beer in the night. |
