Day is already breaking, it is high time for us to eat. We have so much time: what should we do until dinner time? Now everything is ready, let us go to table early. If anyone asks why, it is because too much fasting causes pain. Now let us drink, and not too slowly. To eat without drinking is more than we can stand: let us drink twice, thrice and a fourth time, then sing: 'bottoms up, down the hatch!' Since we have no money, the host can say what he likes, let's slip away - we’ll pay him when we can. | Day is already breaking, friends, it is high time for us to eat.

Original text and translations
Lucescit iam o socii, nous tardons trop à déjeuner, habemus tantum ocii, que ferions-nous jusqu'au diner? Iam parata sunt omnia, mettons*-nous à table en bonne heure. Si quis quaeret, quare? Quia trop juner aporte douleur. Nunc bibamus non segniter, c’est trop manger sans boire un coup. Bibamus bis, ter et quater, puis chanterons "or sus à coup". Non habentes pecuniam, l’hoste dira ce qu’il voudra. Ite per aliam viam, on le payra quand on pourra.
- The score erroneously has 'merrons' for 'mettons'.

Day is already breaking, friends, it is high time for us to eat. We have so much time: what should we do until dinner time? Now everything is ready, let us go to table early. If anyone asks why, it is because too much fasting causes pain. Now let us drink, and not too slowly. To eat without drinking is more than we can stand: let us drink twice, thrice and a fourth time, then sing: 'bottoms up, down the hatch!' Since we have no money, the host can say what he likes, let's slip away - we’ll pay him when we can.
