~ Hoch soll er leben ~ | |
Here's a toast to begin the drinking on this porcelain stein with a transfer scene, ca. late 1900's to early 2000's. Hoch (high) is translated here as "long" to correspond to the English equivalent "long live". | |
Hoch soll er leben, hoch soll er leben, - drei mal hoch. Gesundheit, frohsinn, langes Leben, darauf laßt uns einen heben! |
Long shall he live, long shall he live, - three times long. (To) health, happy spirit, long life, on that let us hoist one! |
