Original text and translations

French.png French text

Gentil galant,
compaignon du raisin,
beuvons d'autant
du soir et du matin,
chascun son pot,
et puis hutot,
à nostre hotesse ne donnerons point d'argent,
mais un credo.

English.png English translation

Boon companion, lover of the grape,
let’s all drink a good drop
morning, noon and night,
and then – guess what? ¬
we won’t pay the landlady a single groat.
We’ll sing the creed to her instead.
Translation by Mick Swithinbank
