Original text and translations

French text Jouons beau jeu tout en riant, si faisons chere lie, Et si buvons ce vin friant Laissant melancholie, Mais en buvant soyons dehet, (dehait) Chantant la chansonette, Disans par amourette Jouons beau jeu tout en riant. En courtinette.

English translation Let’s have a laugh as we entwine, For if we show good cheer, And if we drink some good strong wine We’ll set aside our fear, And drinking, oh we shall be gay, Singing a little ditty, Showing that we are witty, Let’s have a laugh as we entwine, In propinquity. Translation by Thomas Daughton
