   • 2010, “Crémant an der Chamber”‎^[1]performed by Serge Tonnar:

     Fir déi Aarm wéi fir déi Räich:
     ’T ass finito mam Schampes aus Frankräich!
     Gëtt just nach Crémant an der Chamber,
     Mee Gott sei Dank sinn ech do net Member.

     For the poor and for the rich,
     It’s over with French champagne!
     They only serve crémant now in parliament,
     But thank goodness I’m not a member there.
