| ~ Willst ein bös Gesicht du machen ~ | |
| If you're a deadbeat, stay home, but if you're a party animal, come join the party is the obvious meaning of this verse. The stein missing the lid is marked "788" and made by Reinhold Hanke, ca. 1900. | |
|
Willst ein bös Gesicht du machen, dann bleibe nur zu Haus. Willst du scherzen, trinken, lachen, sei bei unserm Schmaus. |
If you only want to make a bad face, then just stay home; (but) if you want to joke, drink and laugh, then be at our feast (party). |
