Come fill, fill, my good fellow!
Language: English
Our translations: FRE SPA
Come fill, fill, my good fellow!
Fill high, high, my good Fellow,
And let's be merry and mellow,
And let us have one bottle more.
When warm the heart is flowing,
And bright the fancy glowing,
Oh, shame on the dolt would be going,
Nor tarry for one bottle more!
My Heart, let me but lighten,
And Life, let me but brighten,
And Care, let me but frighten.
He'll fly us with one bottle more!
By day, tho' he confound me,
When friends at night have found me,
There is Paradise around me
But let me have one bottle more!
So now, here's to the Lasses!
See, see, while the toast passes,
How it lights up beaming glasses!
Encore to the Lasses, encore.
We'll toast the welcome greeting
Of hearts in union beating.
And oh! For our next merry meeting,
Huzza! Then for one bottle more!

¡Ven, llena la copa, buen amigo!
Language: Spanish (Español) after the English
¡Ven, llena la copa, buen amigo!
¡Llénala hasta arriba, mi buen amigo!
¡Seamos felices y estemos tranquilos,
y bebamos una botella más!
Cuando los corazones laten ardorosos
y los sueños se iluminan con grandezas,
¡ay, necio será el que abandone
sin esperar a una botella más!
Tan solo déjame reconfortar mi corazón,
iluminar mi vida
y espantar los pesares.
¡Mi buen amigo nos pasará una botella más!
De día no me reconocerás,
pero de noche, cuando los amigos me encuentran,
el paraíso me rodea;
¡bebamos pues una botella más!
Y ahora ¡brindemos por las chicas!
Cuando se va brindando,
¡mira cómo se iluminan las copas!
¡Una más por las chicas, una más!
¡Brindemos dando la bienvenida
a los corazones que laten unidos,
y también por nuestro próximo encuentro!
¡Hurra! ¡A por una botella más!
