The orgy
Gioacchino Antonio Rossini
Let's love and sing
Of woman and wine
Live is a joy
Between Bacchus and Amor
I've got love in my heart
And wine in my head
What a pleasure, what a feast
What a lovely passion.
Loving and joking
Drinking some wine
animates me and calms
my sorrow and pain.
Let's dance and sing
Live is a joy
Between Bacchus and Amor
Let's dance and sing
Let's raise the glass
Let's laugh and forget
Our sorrow and pain.
O divine queen,
mother of love
with joy renew
every heart!
Leaping, sparkling,
Foaming over with life
Is the wine divine
Ruler of the world.
Already I dance, I stagger,
What smell, what steam!
So drink, over and over again
In a holy frenzy.
Let's dance and sing
Live is a joy
Between Bacchus and Amor!
