(23/25) Drink the Wine, My Lads / Pime chlapci, pime víno

23. Drink the Wine, My Lads / Pime chlapci, pime víno

Mikuláš Schneider-Trnavský: Songs (2014)

Pavol Breslik: Tenor

Róbert Pechanec: Piano

Pime, chlapci, pime víno,

Pime, chlapci, pime víno,

však nám teče potok mimo, 

Keď sa vínka napijeme, 

vodičkou sa umyjeme. 

Nech mi nehovorí žiaden, 

abych išiel zo šenku ven,

potom pôjdem zo šenku ven, 

keď zaplatím, čo som dlžen. 

Krčmárovi za vínečko, 

mojej milej za perečko,

potom pôjdem zo šenku ven, 

keď zaplatím, čo som dlžen.

Drink the Wine, My Lads

Drink the wine, my lads, some more,

there's a stream outside the door.

When the wine is all drunk dry.

we'll have water to wash by.

Let nobody tell me, So,

you should leave the pub and go!

I will leave the pub and go

when I've paid all that I owe.

To the publican for sips,

to my sweetheart for her lips;

then I'll leave the pub and go

when I've paid all that I owe.
