English text
Whilst youthful sports are lasting,
to feasting turn our fasting;
Fa la la la.
With revels and with wassails,
make grief and care our vassals:
Fa la la la.
For youth it well beseemeth,
that pleasure he esteemeth:
Fa la la la.
And sullen age is hated,
that mirth would have abated:
Fa la la la.
