Sieben Fässer Wein [English translation]

Seven barrels of wine ain't no big thing

That should be easy for us, we're still not anywhere near drunk1

We're gonna party the night away, come on, friends, get ready

Oh how wonderful a bacherlor's life has been!

Seven barrels of wine ain't no big thing

That won't knock us out, yeah, we can take that all on our own

Today we're celebrating even though it's a sad thing

That soon I'll no longer be a free man

You know, I know a thousand women (know a thousand women)

But between you and me (but between you and me)

This time I've fallen for real

That's dangerous (dangerous), seriously (seriously)

Now I'm done for because it's not a game anymore

Seven barrels of wine ain't no big thing

That should be easy for us, we're still not anywhere near drunk

We're gonna party the night away, come on, friends, get ready

Oh how wonderful a bacherlor's life has been!

Seven barrels of wine ain't no big thing

Please don't leave me alone in my darkest hour

For it's time, we have to go

Lest we leave the bride waiting outside the church

There is something wrong (something wrong)

We're standing here all alone (we're standing here all alone)

Not a trace of the wedding in sight

Where are the guests (the guests), the priest (the priest)

And where is my bride - what am I gonna do?

"Good day, my son! You, here in church?

And in this condition?

What do you mean, 'wedding'? Yours was scheduled for yesterday!"

Seven barrels of wine can sometimes mean salvation

As life goes, some problems solve themselves

So what, now we're really gonna pig out

We're celebrating for a new reason!

We have nothing to lose anymore today

No bad thing can happen to us now

We have nothing to lose anymore today

No bad thing can happen to us now
