~ Trink' so lang der Becher wingt ~ | |
This 2 L. salt-glazed stoneware stein of unknown dating poses a question that's answered on another stein on this site entitled "Im Himmel gibt's kein Bier" (In Heaven there is no beer). The conclusion is exactly the same: "drum trinken wir es hier" (therefore we'll drink it while we're here). | |
Trink' so lang der Becher wingt, trinke alle Tage. Ob im Jenseits auch man trinkt, das ist eine Frage. |
I drink as long as the beaker beckons, I drink all the days. Whether one drinks also in the hereafter, that's another question. |
