Gather round, all my friends,
Close your eyes and hold your hands.
Do not talk. Do not think.
Now is the time to sit and drink.
Fill up your glass, look at the stars, drink to the sky.
Fill up your glass, drink to the stars, tonight we’ll die.
Drink to the times we’ve had,
Sometimes happy, sometimes sad.
Friends have gone, forth came new:
Drink to the dead, and living, too.
Fill up your glass, look at the stars, drink to the sky.
Fill up your glass, drink to the stars, tonight we’ll die.
Drink to love and taste the kiss
Of love long gone, who’s shine we miss.
Drink to those who broke our heart,
To those who will come and those who’ll part.
Fill up your glass, look at the stars, drink to the sky.
Fill up your glass, drink to the stars, tonight we’ll die.
Drink to hatred, to many a foe,
New ones coming as old ones go.
Drink to them and curse their kin,
Then drink to fate who made us win.
Fill up your glass, look at the stars, drink to the sky.
Fill up your glass, drink to the stars, tonight we’ll die.
Drink to drink, to death’s sweet dreams,
Drinking Death, so fine he seems.
Drink to life’s downs and ups,
Drink down sweet Death that fills your cups.
Fill up your glass, look at the stars, drink to the sky.
Fill up your glass, drink to the stars, tonight we’ll die.
Gather round, friends of mine,
Raise your cups und pour the wine.
Sun is gone, Moon is set –
Once there was life, but now, we’re dead.
Fill up your glass, look at the stars, drink to the sky.
Fill up your glass, drink to the stars, tonight we’ll die.
