1. Let me drink, for there's no morning for a drinker
And no tomorrow closer than today

2. Let me drink, for in the cups of drunkenness
My worries are appeased and my composure fades

3. And when the brilliant dawn breaks, I will go
To hunt, alone and not the least bit tamed

4. And in the morning charge, my sword held high
Against all, young and old, without being blamed
