When we are in the tavern,
we do not think how we will go to dust,
but we hurry to gamble,
which always makes us sweat,
What happens in the tavern,
where money is host,
you may well ask,
and hear what I say.
Some gamble, some drink,
some behave loosely.
But of those who gamble,
some are stripped bare,
some win their clothes here,
some are dressed in sacks.
Here no-one fears death,
but they throw the dice in the name of Bacchus.
Here's a game, a drink aside
There, a true heathen life
Of the game where it will have been cared
Many see themselves as bared
Another proudly knocks the bag
The third lies in sackcloth and ashes
Who will care for death?
Solution is: To honor Bacchus!
