Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ein zwei drei vier
Lift your stein and drink your beer
Ein zwei drei vier
Lift your stein and drink your beer

Drink! Drink! Drink!
To eyes that are bright as stars when they're shining on me!
Drink! Drink! Drink!
To lips that are red and sweet as the fruit on the tree!

Here's a hope that those bright eyes will shine
Lovingly, longingly soon into mine!
May those lips that are red and sweet,
Tonight with joy my own lips meet!

Drink! Drink!
Let the toast start!
May young hearts never part!
Drink! Drink! Drink!
Let every true lover salute his sweetheart!

Drink! Drink! Drink!
To arms that are white and warm as a rose in the sun!
Drink! Drink! Drink!
To hearts that will love one, only when I am the one!
Here's a hope that those soft arms will twine
Tenderly, trustingly soon around mine!

All I ask is the right to see those smiling eyes beguiling me
Drink! Drink!
Let the toast start!
May young hearts never part!
Drink! Drink! Drink!
Let every true lover salute his sweetheart!
Let's drink!

Drink! Drink! Drink!
To eyes that are bright as stars when they're shining on me!
Drink! Drink! Drink!
To lips that are red and sweet as the fruit on the tree!
Here's a hope that those soft arms will twine
Tenderly, trustingly soon around mine!

All I ask is a right to see those smiling eyes beguiling me
Drink! Drink!
Let the toast start!
May young hearts never part!
Drink! Drink! Drink!




Let every true lover salute his sweetheart!
Let's drink!

I would sing this down the pub at the end of every Saturday evening, to see all the locals swinging their glasses and rocking from side to side was wonderful, a fitting memorial to Mario the greatest tenor of all times.

When I was 4, my mum used to play this every Friday, when she paste waxed the wood floor in our tiny bungalo. They always looked great?

Who else but Mario Lanza could sing this with such passion?ย  He was the most versatile tenor of all time.ย  He sang lyric opera magnificently as he did popular songs; perform on the stage and screen, radio and television.ย  There has never been anyone like him before or after who also had an amazing influence on singers and performers everywhere.ย  A new, bestselling book, โ€œA KID FROM PHILADELPHIA, MARIO LANZA, THE VOICE OF THE POETS,โ€ is a wonderful homage to one of the greatest entertainers of all time. It is a must for anyone who loves Lanza and great music and great voices
