Original text and translations

German text  O Wee, o wee mir armen mann/  hab nehren zvil getruncken/  o wee das ichs nit lassen kan/  mein hirn ist mir gesuncken/  es laufft als umb/  bin thol und thumb,  mein sinn seind mir geschwechet/  das gsicht ver kert/  das es nit hört/  ich hab ubermaß zechet.  O wee, o wee, ich kan nit gehn/  wie ist mir doch geschehen/  kan auch nit auff den füssen stehn/  wie hab ich uber sehen/  ich geh im schwanck/  fall auff die banck/  o wee, ich kan nit sitzen/  der magen quilt/  ist uberfült/  der wein,  der wein wil von mir schwitzen.

English translation  Woe, Woe, I poor man/  I have drunk altogether to much/  Woe, why couldn't I leave it/  my brain is fallen in/  my mind runs in circles/  I am dull and silly,  and all my senses are reduced/  I can't see clearly/  and I can't hear/  I have drunk to much.  Woe, Woe, I can not walk/  how did this happen/  Can not stand on my feet /  how did I miss this comming/  I can't walk stright/  and stumbel on the bench/  Woe, I can not sit/  my stomach is queasy/  it's overfull/  the wine,  the wine will sweat from me.
