Chanson à boire
Language: French (Français) 
Vive notre hôtesse qui, sans cesse, 
le verre à la main nous met en train.
Vive notre hôtesse qui, sans cesse, 
bannit loin d'ici le noir souci.
De mille traits elle assaisonne 
les mets exquis qu'elle nous donne.
Avec elle on est sans façon, 
rien n'est si bon.
Ses beaux yeux pleins de feu 
sont de puissantes armes.
Tout mortel sous les cieux 
en éprouve les charmes.
Sur les charmes les plus puissants, 
elle remporte la victoire. 
Qu'elle reçoive notre encens 
et que tout parle de sa gloire.
la, la, la, j'ai trop bu mais ne boirai plus.
