Paroles et traduction Gilead - In Taberna

In Taberna

In taberna quando sumus,
Non curamus quid sit humus,
Sed ad ludum properamus,
Cui semper insudamus.
Quid agatur in taberna,
Ubi numus est pincerna,
Hoc est opus ut queratur,
Sic quid loquar, audiatur.
Bibit hera, bibit herus,
Bibit miles, bibit clerus,
Bibit ille, bibit illa,
Bibit servus cum ancilla,
Bibit velox, bibit piger,
Bibit albus, bibit niger,
Bibit constans, bibit vagus,
Bibit rugis, bibit magus,
Primo pro numata vini,
Ex habibut libertini;
Semel bibunt ptocapivis,
Post haec bibunt ter pro vivis,
Quater pro Christianis cunctis,
Quinquies fidelibus defunctis,
Sexies pro sororibus vanis,
Septies promilitibus silvanis.
Bibit hera, bibit herus,
Bibit miles, bibit clerus,
Bibit ille, bibit illa,
Bibit servus cum ancilla,
Bibit velox, bibit piger,
Bibit albus, bibit niger,
Bibit iste, bibit ille,
Bibunt centum, bibunt mille.

In Taberna

In the tavern when we are,
We do not care what is earth,
But we hasten to play,
Which we always sweat for.
What is done in the tavern,
Where money is the butler,
This is the work to be sought,
So hear what I say.
The lady drinks, the lord drinks,
The soldier drinks, the clergy drinks,
He drinks, she drinks,
The servant drinks with the maid,
The swift drinks, the lazy drinks,
The white drinks, the black drinks,
The constant drinks, the vagrant drinks,
The wrinkled drinks, the magician drinks,
First for the money of wine,
From the freedmen's gain;
Once they drink to whet their whistles,
After this they drink thrice for the living,
Four times for all Christians,
Five times for the faithful departed,
Six times for the vain sisters,
Seven times for the forest rangers.
The lady drinks, the lord drinks,
The soldier drinks, the clergy drinks,
He drinks, she drinks,
The servant drinks with the maid,
The swift drinks, the lazy drinks,
The white drinks, the black drinks,
This one drinks, that one drinks,
A hundred drink, a thousand drink.
