Original text and translations

French.png French text

Jouons beau jeu tout en riant,
si faisons chere lie,
Et si buvons ce vin friant
Laissant melancholie,
Mais en buvant soyons dehet, (dehait)
Chantant la chansonette,
Disans par amourette
Jouons beau jeu tout en riant.
En courtinette.

English.png English translation

Let’s have a laugh as we entwine,
For if we show good cheer,
And if we drink some good strong wine
We’ll set aside our fear,
And drinking, oh we shall be gay,
Singing a little ditty,
Showing that we are witty,
Let’s have a laugh as we entwine,
In propinquity.

Translation by Thomas Daughton
