Thanks EoinMag, I would not have translated it differently an keeling both the German and the English version made it easier for me to read it over.

It's a little sexual in its language, not so sure that comes accross in the translation.
If beer was a woman, this dude (the author) would be working his way into her undies while whispering sweet nothings....

Talking dirty to your beer - that's awesome! I only wish I had been able to get closer to the framed poem to see the name at the bottom...

I know the "ancient texts" (think "font") can be difficult to read at times.

I find the second translation better.

Good job.

“I Speak Spanish to God, Italian to Women, French to Men, and German to My Horse" (or beer we could say)

Well I can read that it was written in Lucerne on 27th August 2006, but the authors name is not so clear looks like Bert Michael, but I'd not swear to that as it's very fuzzy.

It's actually Bret Michaels. It's from the latest Poison album!
