Since you are a fighter

Language: English after the French (Français)

Since you are a fighter
Willingly would I fight you
To know myself, if I could match
You, to be a good drinker.

And if you were a sapper
I would dig in competition with you too.
  Since you are a fighter
  Willingly would I fight you.

You think I'm a bad drinker
But I can well drink three jars
Truly, or else I'd hide
As the worst in the world.

Since you are a fighter
Willingly would I fight you
To know myself, if I could match
You, to be a good drinker.
