~ Willst du leben doch gesund ~ | |
The verses are self explanatory on this relief stein (without lid) marked "Germany 642" ca. 1900. The second verse is recorded separately on the site on another stein. | |
Willst du leben hoch gesund so trinke an bis auf den Grund. Trink mich aus und gieb mich hin weil ich bei guten Freunden bin. |
If you want to have a healthy life, drink till you reach the bottom. Drink me empty and pass me on, because I am among good friends. |
