Original text and translations
English text
- Come, boy Bacchus, a bunch of grapes,
- The bunch you dearest treasure !
- 'Twill fill my soul with exquisite shapes,
- For well I know the pleasure
- Of a rich ripe grape slow pressed in the mouth
- Bringing me dreams of the lusty South,
- Of sunbrown youth
- And sun-bright maiden
- And all a laughing,
- And all a laden
- with grapes, grapes, grapes, grapes,
- beyond all measure !
- And all a laughing
- And all a laden
- with grapes, grapes, grapes,
- beyond all measure.
- Lyrics: Julian Sturgis - (1848-1904)
