~ Kommst du aus der Kneipe raus ~ | |
When you realize that the symbolism of the monkey (ape) is a hangover, then the verse is self explanatory. The pottery, barrel, character stein is marked "1598 Germany", ca. 1900. | |
Kommst du aus der Kneipe raus bringst 'nen (einen) Affen mit nach Haus. |
If you come out of the tavern drunk, (then) you'll bring a hangover home. |
