Keats, John: Gib mir Wein, Weib und Tabak (Give me women, wine, and snuff in German)

Portre of Keats, John

Back to the translator

Give me women, wine, and snuff (English)

Give me women, wine, and snuff
Untill I cry out «hold enough!»
You may do so sans objection
Till the day of resurrection;
For, bless my beard, they aye shall be
My beloved Trinity.

1815 – 1816

Gib mir Wein, Weib und Tabak (German)

Gib mir Wein, Weib und Tabak,
Bis mein Schreien gellt: »Lass ab!«
Dies tu ohne Widersprechen
Bis zum Tag der Auferstehung;
Bei meinem Bart, hierin besteht
Meine geliebte Trinität.

1815 – 1816
