Es waren drei Gesellen [English translation]

There were three fellow craftsmen (1)

They did as they pleased

One was drunk

The second was filled up

The third spoke: dear brethren

I don't feel too well, either

The third spoke: dear brethren

I don't feel too well, either

Dear fellows, why should

It stay concealed

We shall let the master's

Work leave behind

We shall go a little

For a stroll

To where there's cool fresh wine

Where the pretty girls are

To where there's cool fresh wine

Where the pretty girls are

And when at the tavern

They arrived

The hostess she had made them

A polite reception

Welcome, welcome,

My journeymen.

What would you like to eat ?

Which wine would you prefer ?

What would you like to eat ?

Which wine would you prefer ?

(REF:)

If we have no hungarian wine

We'll drink the french wine

And if we have no french wine

We'll drink the hungarian winde

For the hungarian wine

Is a good wine indeed

We shall now drink it

And have a good time

We shall now drink it

And have a good time

And as they had eaten

And had drunk

The innkeeper sent (1b)

A saucy little boy

Dear fellows, dear fellows

It's time to go home

Please take leave

And go, in god's name

Please take leave

And go, in god's name

The fellows, they came

Singing and dancing (2)

The innkeeper was angry

The hostess was growling

You seem to be

A strange bunch of fellows

Carousing and drinking

But not when it comes to working

Carousing and drinking

But not when it comes to working

They took up their bundle (3)

Well unto their backs

And journeyed across

The franconian Bridge

Then came the innkeeper's little daughter

Fellows, ye should stay

For I can't be without you

Fellows, ye should stay

For I can't be without you
