Original text and translations
Quant je boy du vin clairet tout tourne Et quant je n`en boy point tout ne tourne point Et quant n`ay maille ne denier je ne boy point Ne belle fille a mon coucher ne tourne point Et quant de ces vins blancs je boy si ne sont d`Anjou ou d`Arboys point ne me tourne Quant je boy du vin clairet tout tourne
When I drink light red wine the world goes round
and when I don`t it doesn`t
and when I`m penniless I don`t drink and I don`t have a lovely maid to sleep with
and nothing goes round
and if I drink those white wines that aren`t from Anjou or Arboys, nothing goes round
but when I drink light red wine the world goes round
