The sun descends, O cupbearer,
The sun descends, O cupbearer,
Pour forth the wine, O cupbearer,
The sun descends, O cupbearer.
Or press the flask to my lips,
Or press the flask to my lips,
Or press the flask to my lips,
Or tear away the veil, O cupbearer.
The sun descends, O cupbearer,
Pour forth the wine, O cupbearer,
The sun descends, O cupbearer.
Where else to go, forsaking the tavern?
Where else to go, forsaking the tavern?
Where else to go, forsaking the tavern?
The world itself is ruin, O cupbearer.
The sun descends, O cupbearer,
Pour forth the wine, O cupbearer,
The sun descends, O cupbearer.
Fill the cups of sinners,
Fill the cups of sinners,
Fill the cups of sinners,
For this, too, is a virtue, O cupbearer.
The sun descends, O cupbearer,
Pour forth the wine, O cupbearer,
The sun descends, O cupbearer.
Let me drink today, and drink again,
Let me drink today, and drink again,
Let me drink today, and drink again,
Tomorrow we shall settle accounts, O cupbearer.
The sun descends, O cupbearer,
Pour forth the wine, O cupbearer,
The sun descends, O cupbearer,
Pour forth the wine, O cupbearer,
Pour forth the wine, O cupbearer,
Pour forth the wine, O cupbearer.
