lyrics

Hoy comamos y bebamos
Y cantemos y holguemos,
Que mañana ayunaremos.

Por honra de sant' Antruejo
Parémonos hoy bien anchos,
Embutamos estos panchos,
Recalquemos el pellejo.

Que costumbre és de concejo
que todos hoy nos artemos,
que mañana ayunaremos.

Honremos a tan buen santo,
Porque en hambre nos acorra,
Comamos a calca porra,
Que mañana hay gran quebranto.

Comamos y bebamos tanto,
Hasta que nos reventemos,
Que mañana ayunaremos.

Tomemos hoy gasajado,
Que mañana viene la muerte,
Bebamos, comamos huerte,
Vámonos cara el ganado.

No perderemos bocado,
Que comiendo nos iremos,
Y mañana ayunaremos.

Beve, Brás, más tú, beneito,
Beva Pedruelo y Lloriente,
Beve tú primeramente,
Quitarnos has deste preito.

En beber bien me deleito,
Daca, daca, beberemos,
Que mañama ayunaremos.

===================================

Today let us eat and let us drink
Let us sing and let us rejoice,
For tomorrow we will fast.

In honour of St Carnival
Let us today loosen our belts
Let us fill up to our stomachs
Let us stretch our bellies.

It is our local custom
That today we should replete
For tomorrow we will fast.

Let us honour good health,
For tomorrow hunger rules us
Let us eat with relish,
For tomorrow brings great grief.

Let eat and drink much,
Until we ourselves burst,
For tomorrow we will fast
Let us take today with gusto,
For tomorrow comes death,
Let us drink and eat with spirit,
Let us go to the beef!

We will not waste a morsel,
For we eat and we go,
And tomorrow we will fast.

Cheers Brás, and you Beneito,
Cheers Pedruelo y Lloriente,
Cheers to you first
Let's join hands together.

In this drink I find delight,
Hic! Hic! We are drinking!
For tomorrow we will fast!
