Intro
Verse1
Quand je bois du vin clairet,

À ce flacon faisons la guerre,
Chantons et buvons,
Mes amis, buvons donc.

Buvons bien, buvons mes amis,
Trinquons, buvons, gaiement chantons.
En mangeant d’un gras jambon,
À ce flacon faisons la guerre.

Le bon vin nous a rendus gais,
Chantons, oublions nos peines, chantons.
En mangeant d’un gras jambon,
À ce flacon faisons la guerre.

Rough Translation.
Sing and let's drink, my friends, let's drink then!
Good wine has made us merry, let's sing.
Let us forget our sorrows, let's sing!
While eating a fat ham,
On this bottle let us wage war!
Let us drink well, drink my friends, clink glasses,
Drink, merrily sing!
