If we hadn't lost our minds, we'd call them home, and drink,
or, before idols, seat them and drink.
Don't drink too much, don't speak too much, not with zeal,
Drink slowly, with peace, head bowed, and drink.
Wealth is but for four days, drink it,
Honor is but for four days, drink it.
Time each dawn, each day, towards ruin,
Opportunity is but for four days, drink it.
Come, drink, whether the beloved comes or not,
Come, drink, whether the beloved comes or not,
This season, again and again, may or may not come,
Come, drink, whether the beloved comes or not.
Like roses, you remain fresh,
Like roses, you remain fresh,
Like roses, you remain fresh,
Whether the world's spring comes or not,
Whether the world's spring comes or not,
This season, again and again, may or may not come,
Come, drink, whether the beloved comes or not.
I've thought of forgetting her,
I've thought of forgetting her,
I've thought of forgetting her,
Whether peace returns to this heart or not,
Whether peace returns to this heart or not,
This season, again and again, may or may not come,
Come, drink, whether the beloved comes or not.
Why is the conscience offended by this life?
Why is the conscience offended by this life?
Why is the conscience offended by this life?
Whether love returns to you or not,
Whether love returns to you or not,
This season, again and again, may or may not come,
Come, drink, whether the beloved comes or not,
Come, drink, whether the beloved comes or not.
