Original text and translations

French text 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 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

English translation 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
