~ Wohl auf noch getrunken ~ | |
This verse is the beginning of the first and last stanzas of a German Folk Song originating at the time of the Napoleonic Wars and still popular today. The word "Juvivallera" is a cry of joy occurring in many folk songs, and may derive from the Latin words "juvi" (youth) and "vale" (farewell). The Jugendstil (youth style = modern art) stein was made ca. early 1900's. | |
Wohl auf noch getrunken den funkelnden Wein Ade nun, ihr Lieben! Geschieden muß sein, Juvivallera Juvivallera... |
Probably still drunk on the sparkling wine, Ade now your beloved must be departed! Juvivallera Juvivallera..... |
