Was hat der Bernhardiner in dem Fässchen drin? [English translation]

A stranger, wandering through our Swiss mountainside

Seeing a big Saint Bernard in front of him

Asks the old farmer who is just threshing his oat:

"I am a professor, but there is one thing I don't know:"

[Chorus:]

What has the Saint Bernard in his little barrel?

This question always keeps coming to my mind

I must admit, I'm left pretty helpless with this

What has the Saint Bernard in his little barrel?

At the same moment a lady drops by:

"Excuse me! I hope not to disturb you

I've been around the whole wide world, even to America

But there is one thing I haven't found out yet:"

[Chorus]

Is it rum? (is it rum?)

Is it juice? (is it juice?)

Is it beer?

Is it wine?

The dog thinks "That's real funny!

But I'll keep the secret guarded!"

[Yodel]
