Translation of lyrics:

It's impossible to live without sorrow,
But I'd like to wish for you, my friends,
That in your joy you'd be able to forget
That recently you had to grieve.

Refrain:
I want the songs to sound,
The wineglass to be filled with wine,
And that all of you would wish for each other
The same things that I've just now wished for you.

I wish for you to have such a friend
Who would, both at a difficult and at a joyful time
Utter the real word, which would prove to be your lifeline.

Refrain:
I want the songs to sound,
The wineglass to be filled with wine,
And that all of you would wish for each other
The same things that I've just now wished for you.

I want the ringing, joyful children's laughter
To be heard everywhere.
That the young ladies should be beautiful,
That the young men should be wise.

Refrain:
I want the songs to sound,
The wineglass to be filled with wine,
And that all of you would wish for each other
The same things that I've just now wished for you.

If a young lady hurt your feelings this summer,
Because she didn't love you,
Let her come to regret that,
Because she will fall in love with you.

Refrain:
I want the songs to sound,
The wineglass to be filled with wine,
And that all of you would wish for each other
The same things that I've just now wished for you.
