Auf, singet und trinket by Friedrich Hegar — Lyrics
Auf, singet und trinket den köstlichen Trank!
Auf, singet und bringet der Freud' euren Dank!
Trinkt vornehme Sünder, aus Gold euren Wein!
Wir freun uns nicht minder beim Bierkrug von Stein.
Juvivallerallerallera! beim Bierkrug von Stein.
Aus goldnen Pokalen trank Rom seinen Wein,
bei festlichen Mahlen des Siegs sich zu freun,
der Deutsche der Gerste weit edleren Saft;
war dafür der erste an Mut und an Kraft.
Juvivallera etc.

The lyrics evoke a spirit of camaraderie and robust good cheer, with a refrain that adds to the festive atmosphere. This piece is ideal for a male choir looking for energetic and spirited repertoire with a touch of historical reference.
