LyricsPoetic Translation
Quand je bois du vin clairet, ami, tout tourneWhen I'm drunk on claret wine, the world is turning.
Aussi désormais je bois Anjou ou ArboisFrom now on I think I'll drink Anjou or Arbois.
Chantons et buvons, ã ce flacon faisons la guerreSing, my friends, and drink, and wage a war upon the bottle,
Chantons et buvons, mes amis, buvons donc!Sing, my friends, and drink, oh, my friends, sing and drink.
Le bon vin nous a rendu gais, chantonsWine will make us merry, singing:
oublions nos peines, chantons!Leave your sorrows all forgotten, and sing!
En mangeant d'un gras jambonEating ham, let's drink and sing,
À ce flacon faisons la guerre!And wage a war upon the bottle!
Buvons bien, buvons mes amis trinquons,Drink, my friends, oh, drink well, my friends.
Buvons, gaiement chantons!Oh, drink and gladly sing. Let's sing.
