Omnes Gentes Plaudite (The Drinking Song) Lyrics
Lyrics
Translation
E saw miny briddes seten on a tree;
I saw a flock of birds a-sitting in a tree
He token her flight and flowen away,
The birds took flight and flew away,
With ego dixi, have a good day.
With . I say! Have a good day!.
Many white federes hath the pye -
Many white feathers has the magpie -
I may noon mor singen, my lippes arn so drye!
I can sing no more, my lips are so dry!
Manye white federes hath the swan -
Many white feathers has the swan -
The mor that I drinke, the lesse good I can!
The more I drink, the less I. m good for!
Ley stikkes on the fer, wil mot it brenne -
Lay sticks on the fire, well may it burn -
Geve us onys drinken er we gon henne!
Give us a drink before we go!
Omnes gentes, plaudite.
All people, rejoice!
