Translation of the song Cançó de beure artist Catalan Folk
Cançó de beure
Drinking Song
L'únic remei a la migranya
The only solution for a migraine
És un dinar ben abundós,
Is a very abundant lunch,
Si com és lògic l'acompanya
As long as, logically, it is accompanied
Un ví de la bota del racó.
By a decanter filled with wine from the inn.
Diuen que l'aigua fa malbé els camins...
They say that water only ruins the roads...
Brinda! Brinda! Brinda!
Make a toast! Make a toast! Make a toast!
Brinda amb els amics!
Make a toast with your friends!
Beu-te aquesta ronda, que tornarem a omplir!
Drink this round, for we're going to fill it all up again!
És un vinet criat per l'avi
This is a little wine, made by the old gaffer
Que se'l guardava amb molt d'amor;
Who lovingly kept and preserved it;
Qui en beu un got es torna savi
Those who drink a single cup, become wise
Sense cap llibre ni lliçó!
Without any need for books nor lessons!
Diuen que l'aigua ens anega endins...
They say that water only floods our insides...
Vinga! Vinga! Vinga!
Come on! Come on! Come on!
Vinga, porta el ví!
Come on, bring the wine!
Beu-te aquesta ronda, que tornarem a omplir!
Drink this round, for we're going to fill it all up again!
Aire, amics meus! Alcem les tasses
Shout, my friends! Let's rise our drinking cups
Lluents els ulls, contents els cors;
With shining eyes, with happy hearts;
Qui es senti trist que hi resti, a casa
Those who feel sad should stay at home
Sol i pansit com un talòs.
All alone and depressed, like idiots.
Diuen que l'aigua fa malbé els camins...
They say that water only ruins the roads...
Brinda! Brinda! Brinda!
Make a toast! Make a toast! Make a toast!
Brinda amb els amics!
Make a toast with your friends!
Beu-te aquesta ronda, que tornarem a omplir!
Drink this round, for we're going to fill it all up again!
