by Carlo Pepoli, Conte (1796 - 1881)

L'orgia
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Our translations:  ENG
Amiamo, cantiamo 
le donne e i liquor,
gradita è la vita 
frà Bacco ed Amor.

Se Amore ho nel core, 
ho il vin nella testa,
che gioia che festa,
che amabile ardor.
Amando, scherzando, 
trincando liquor,
m'avvampo, mi scampo 
da noie e dolor.

  Cantiam, gradita è la vita 
  fra Bacco ed Amor !

Danziamo, cantiamo, 
alziamo il bicchier,
ridiam, sfidiam 
i tristi pensier !

Regina divina, 
la madre d'amor,
guiliva ravviva 
rinuova ogni cor.

Balzante, spumante 
con vivo bollor,
e il vino divino 
del mondo signor.

Già ballo traballo 
che odor, che vapor
si beva ribeva 
con sacro furor.

  Cantiam, gradita è la vita 
  fra Bacco ed Amor !
