- Lyrics
Gaudeamus igitur,
Juvenes dum sumus.
Post jucundam juventutem
Post molestam senectutem
Nos habebit humus.Vivat academia!
Vivant professores!
Vivat membrum quodlibet
Vivant membra quaelibet
Semper sint in flore.Vivat et respublica
et qui illam regit.
Vivat nostra civitas,
Maecenatum caritas
Quae nos hic protegit.
