Strophe 1

Stanza 1

Heut Morgen bin ich aufgewacht,

This morning I woke up,

nach Bier stand mir der Sinn.

I was in the mood for beer.

Da sprach ich zu meinem lieben Schatz:

Then I said to my dear darling:

„Ein Bier, ist das wohl drin?“

"A beer, is that possible?"

Ich trink nur einen kleinen Schluck,

I'll only drink a small sip,

Bitte glaube mir,

Please believe me,

ich trinke nur ein Maulvoll aus,

I'll only drink a mouthful,

Ich trinke das Bier nur bis hier.

I'll only drink the beer up to here.

short instrumental

Strophe 2

Stanza 2

Hey liebe Freunde, das ist toll,

Hey dear friends, this is great,

wie schön, euch hier zu seh'n!

how nice to see you here!

Ein kühles Bier, das schmeckt so gut,

A cool beer, that tastes so good,

doch mehr wird heut nicht geh'n.

but no more will happen today.

Na gut, vielleicht ein Schlückchen noch,

Well, maybe one more little sip,

dann geh`n wir brav nach Haus.

then we'll go home nicely.

Ich trinke nur ein Maulvoll ab,

I'll only drink a mouthful off,

Trink bis hier das Glas noch aus.

Drink the glass empty up to here.

short instrumental

Strophe 3

Stanza 3

Mein Durst, der ist jetzt endlich weg,

My thirst is finally gone now,

mir geht es richtig gut.

I'm feeling really good.

Doch Jungs, ich hab daraus gelernt,

But boys, I've learned from this,

jetzt ist für heute Schluss!

now it's over for today!

Na gut, ein Tropfen geht schon noch

Well, one drop is still fine,

davon geh ich nicht unter.

I won't go under from that.

Doch das ist jetzt der letzte Schluck,

But this is now the last sip,

trink ein Maulvoll bis hier runter!

drink a mouthful down to here!

short instrumental

Strophe 4

Stanza 4

Freunde es war wirklich schön, euch alle hier zu seh'n,

Friends, it was really nice to see you all here,

Doch einen Schluck, den nehmen wir noch,

But we'll have one more sip,

bevor wir alle gehn.

before we all leave.

„Na klar“, sagt ihr, „den nehmen wir, das finden wir ganz fein!“

"Of course," you say, "we'll take it, we think that's great!"

Drum hebt die Gläser hoch zur Luft, und trinkt mit mir noch einen!

So raise your glasses to the air, and drink one more with me!

Schlusszeile (alle gemeinsam):

Final line (all together):

Und trinkt mit mir, und trinkt mit mir, trinkt noch ein Maulvoll aus!

And drink with me, and drink with me, drink one more mouthful!

Dann lachen und dann feiern wir, und gehen noch nicht nach Haus!

Then we'll laugh and then we'll celebrate, and not go home yet!

Und trinkt mit mir, und trinkt mit mir, trinkt noch ein Maulvoll aus!

And drink with me, and drink with me, drink one more mouthful!

Dann lachen und dann feiern wir, und gehen noch nicht nach Haus!

Then we'll laugh and then we'll celebrate, and not go home yet!

Outro

Lines explained

“Ich trinke das Bier nur bis hier.”

I'll only drink the beer up to here.

This line, repeated in variations throughout the song, is a humorous way of saying 'I'll only drink a little bit,' often accompanied by a gesture indicating a small amount, but the speaker never actually stops at that small amount.

“doch mehr wird heut nicht geh'n.”

but no more will happen today.

This line sets up the recurring joke of the song, where the speaker declares they won't drink more, only to immediately contradict themselves in the following lines.

“Und trinkt mit mir, und trinkt mit mir, trinkt noch ein Maulvoll aus!”

And drink with me, and drink with me, drink one more mouthful!

The final lines, sung by everyone, reinforce the communal and celebratory aspect of drinking, humorously abandoning the earlier pretense of moderation.
