Amis, vive l'orgie !
Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  CHI ENG
Amis, vive l'orgie !
J'aime la folle nuit
Et la nappe rougie
Et les chants et le bruit,
Les dames peu sévères ,
Les cavaliers joyeux,
Le vin dans tous les verres,
L'amour dans tous les yeux !

  La tombe est noire,
  Les ans sont courts.
  Il faut, sans croire
  Aux sots discours,
  Très-souvent boire,
  Aimer toujours ! 

Dans la douce Italie 
Qu'éclaire un si doux ciel, 
Tout est joie et folie, 
Tout est nectar et miel.
Ayons donc à nos fêtes
Les fleurs et les beautés,
La rose sur nos têtes,
La femme à nos côtés !

朋友,万岁狂欢!/ 我爱疯狂夜晚
Language: Chinese (中文)  after the French (Français) 
朋友,万岁狂欢!
我爱疯狂夜晚
桌布那红色的鲜艳
歌曲噪音不断,
女士不再温婉,
骑士心怀喜感,
酒杯全部斟满,
爱情就在大家的眼!

坟墓多么黑暗,
人生苦短,
不应相信
愚蠢讲演,
要常宴饮,
爱到永远!

朋友,万岁狂欢!
我爱疯狂夜晚
桌布和红色的鲜艳
歌曲噪音不断,
我们开始盛会
鲜花佳丽相伴,
头上带着玫瑰,
美人就在身边!
