Hoy Comamos Y Bebamos

(Spanish Renaissance music)(Música del renacimiento español)

Today let's eat and drinkHoy comamos y bebamos
And let's sing and enjoy,Y cantemos y holguemos,
For tomorrow we shall fast.Que mañana ayunaremos.

In honor of Saint AntruejoPor honra de sant' Antruejo
Let's stand wide today,Parémonos hoy bien anchos,
Stuff these sausages,Embutamos estos panchos,
Let's emphasize the skin.Recalquemos el pellejo.

It is a council customQue costumbre és de concejo
That we all stuff ourselves today,que todos hoy nos artemos,
For tomorrow we shall fast.que mañana ayunaremos.

Let's honor such a good saint,Honremos a tan buen santo,
Because he helps us in hunger,Porque en hambre nos acorra,
Let's eat a lot of porridge,Comamos a calca porra,
For tomorrow there will be great trouble.Que mañana hay gran quebranto.

Let's eat and drink so much,Comamos y bebamos tanto,
Until we burst,Hasta que nos reventemos,
For tomorrow we shall fast.Que mañana ayunaremos.

Let's enjoy today,Tomemos hoy gasajado,
For death comes tomorrow,Que mañana viene la muerte,
Let's drink, let's eat heartily,Bebamos, comamos huerte,
Let's go towards the herd.Vámonos cara el ganado.

We won't lose a bite,No perderemos bocado,
For by eating we shall go,Que comiendo nos iremos,
And tomorrow we shall fast.Y mañana ayunaremos.

Drink, Brás, you too, blessed one,Beve, Brás, más tú, beneito,
Drink Pedruelo and Lloriente,Beva Pedruelo y Lloriente,
You drink first,Beve tú primeramente,
You will free us from this lawsuit.Quitarnos has deste preito.

I delight in drinking well,En beber bien me deleito,
Give, give, we shall drink,Daca, daca, beberemos,
For tomorrow we shall fast.Que mañama ayunaremos.

Let's enjoy today,Tomemos hoy gasajado,
For death comes,Que viene la muerte,
Let's drink, let's eat heartily,Bebamos, comamos huerte,
Let's go towards the herd.Vámonos cara el ganado.

We won't lose a bite,No perderemos bocado,
For by eating we shall go,Que comiendo nos iremos,
And tomorrow we shall fastY mañana ayunaremos
