Bacche bene venies gratus et optatus 
per quem noster animus fit letificatus

Istud vinum bonum vinum 
vinum generosum 
reddit virum curialem 
probum animosum 

Bacchus forte superans pectora virorum
in amorem concitat animos eorum

Bacchus sepe visitans mulierum genus
facit eas subditas tibi o tu venus

Bacchus venas penetrans calido liquore
facit eas igneas veneris ardore 
Refrain

     Bacchus, you are welcome, pleasing and desired,
by whom our mind becomes joyous.

Refrain
That wine, good wine,
noble wine,
makes a man courtly,
fine and spirited.

Bacchus, by chance conquering the hearts of men,
excites their spirits in love.
Refrain

Bacchus, often visiting the race of women,
makes them subject to you, oh you, Venus.
Refrain

Bacchus, penetrating the veins with warm wine,
makes them fiery with the flame of Venus.
Refrain
