Amis buvons by François de Chancy — Lyrics
Amis, buvons à rouge bord,
d'abord
Pour r'appeler nostre memoire,
A boire:
Sur tout ne parlons point d'Amour,
ny de ses femmes attisées;
quatre bouteilles bien coiffées
valent cent dames de la Cour.
Verbec, je boy ce plein vaisseau,
Sans eau,
A t asanté, que je souhaite
Parfaite:
Sur tout ne parlons . . . .
Bastar, si tu bois plus que moy,
Ma foy,
Tu passeras pour legitime

About Amis buvons
This French chanson by François de Chancy is a lighthearted call to enjoy good company and drink. The text, in two parts sung by soloists (S and B), humorously warns against talking about love and women, suggesting that four bottles of wine are preferable to a hundred ladies of the court. It paints a picture of a convivial gathering where friends toast each other's health and enjoy their refreshments, eschewing romantic entanglements in favor of plentiful wine. The music is perfectly suited for a celebratory occasion, a friendly get-together, or simply a moment of convivial enjoyment.
