about

Tourdion (France, anon. 16th century, published by Pierre Attaignant)
A tourdion is a lively dance, and the words set to this exciting music translate to: “When I drink Clairet wine the room spins. So now, I only drink Anjou or Arbois. Let’s make war with our flagons by singing, drinking, forgetting our woes, and eating a fatty ham.”

lyrics

Quand je bois du vin clairet,
Ami tout tourne, tourne, tourne, tourne...
Aussi désormais je bois
Anjou ou Arbois.

Chantons et buvons:
À ce flacon faisons la guerre!
Chantons et buvons
Mes amis; buvons donc!

De ce gras jambon
Mangeons pour oublier nos peines!
De ce gras jambon
Mes amis, mangeons donc!

Chantons et buvons:
Vive l'amour et la bouteille!
Chantons et buvons
Mes amis; buvons donc!


When I drink claret (Bordeaux) wine
My friend, everything turns, turns, turns, turns...
Now, I also drink
Anjou or Arbois.

Let's sing and drink:
Let's declare war on that wine flask!
Let's sing and drink
My friends; let's drink, then!

From that fatty ham
Let's (all) eat to forget our sorrows!
From that fatty ham
My friends, let's eat, then!

Let's sing and drink:
Long life to love and the bottle!
Let's sing and drink
My friends; let's drink, then!
