Quant je boy du vin clairet tout tourne
Et quant je n'en boy point tout ne tourne point
Et quant n'ay maille ne denier je ne boy point
Ne belle fille a mon coucher ne tourne point
Et quant de ces vins blancs je boy
si ne sont d'Anjou ou d'Arboys point ne me tourne
Quant je boy du vin clairet tout tourne

Portuguese.png Portuguese translation

Quando bebo vinho branco, tudo gira
E quando eu não bebo nada, tudo não gira nada.
E quando não tenho nenhum tostão, não bebo nada,
e nenhuma bela garota na minha cama gira
E quando bebo desses vinhos brancos,
se não são de Anjou ou de Arboys, nada me gira
Quando bebo vinho branco, tudo gira

When I drink light red wine the world goes round
and when I don't it doesn't
and when I'm penniless I don't drink
and I don't have a lovely maid to sleep with
and if I drink those white wines
that aren`t from Anjou or Arboys, nothing goes round
but when I drink light red wine the world goes round
