\n<\/p>\n

I never imagined that I would stumble across a song whilst digging through the online version of Der B\u00f6hmische Bierbrauer, but low and behold that’s exactly what I found<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I was just searching for any information in the journal about pubs and drinking establisments as opposed to the beer brewing industry, so my search term was “kneipe”. Weirdly, one of my core memories of learning German as a kid is being 13 years old and asking the teacher what the German for “pub” was, and nearly 37 years later it is stuck in my brain.<\/p>\n

The song though is called “Lob der Kneipe”, or “Praise of the Pub” and should be sung to the tune of “Das war der Zwerg Perke\u00f6 …” or “Ich weiss nicht, was soll es bedeuten.” I think the tune is the same regardless of the name, at least to my ears, and so here is an example…<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Ah but the lyrics, the lyrics…<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

And here they are in English…<\/p>\n

The pub is my life,
\nThe pub is my downfall;
\nCan there be anything more beautiful
\nIn this valley of misery?
\nYes, I live in the pub
\nAs a human being and as a student,
\nAnd I strive for the pub
\nUntil my blessed end.<\/p>\n

When the beer foams in the glasses
\nBrown and light,
\nHow divine it dreams are.
\nTime passes so quickly!
\nYou drink and slurp and drink
\nOne glass after another empty,
\nYou wave happily to the bartender
\nOver and over again.<\/p>\n

And songs ring out happily,
\nFull of youthful joy,
\nThe soul wants to struggle
\nFrom the oppressed breast.
\nClouds of smoke drift
\nThrough the sacred space,
\nAnd sparks of speech fly.
\nFor me, only vain foam!<\/p>\n

But when the witching hour
\nstarts to strike,
\nthe table closes
\nfor the happiest of feasts.
\nHow wonderful is such a stay
\nwith unadulterated liquid!
\nIt cannot be described
\nsuch an excess of happiness.<\/p>\n

Let us raise our glasses
\ntherefore full of enthusiasm:
\nThe pub should live.
\nIt keeps us all young!
\nBooze, that is the real thing.
\nThe element of life,
\nfrom the cradle to the grave,
\nto a blessed end!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Obviously, speaking only for myself here, but what a lovely song…
