at some time on the steps of a palace,
or in the green grass of a ditch,
or in the bleak [Eb] solitude of your [B] room, you're waking up when drunkenness has already abated, ask the wind,
a wave,
the star, the bird, a clock, all that which flees, all that which rolls, all that which groans, all that which sings.
Ask them what time it is.

the clock, the bird will reply, it is time to get drunk, so that you may not be the martyred slaves

Get drunk.
Get drunk and never pause for rest.
