A very well known traditional song from France.
No medieval but renaissance dance music but we have tried to make a 'modern interpretation'.
OK - everybody plays this song but we hope you like anyway ;-)
Recorded in our small home studio:
- Voice
- Percussion
- Guitar
- Two flutes/recorders
The painting:
"Isabella" by John Everett Millais, 1849

French Lyrics ###
Quand je bois du vin clairet (Tourdion)
Quand je bois du vin clairet,
Ami tout tourne, tourne, tourne, tourne...
Aussi désormais je bois
Anjou ou Arbois.
Chantons et buvons:
À ce flacon faisons la guerre!
Chantons et buvons
Mes amis; buvons donc!
De ce gras jambon
Mangeons pour oublier nos peines!
De ce gras jambon
Mes amis, mangeons donc!
Chantons et buvons:
Vive l'amour et la bouteille!
Chantons et buvons
Mes amis; buvons donc!

Commentaires:
The tourdion is a type of late-Medieval, early-Renaissance dance particularly popular in the Burgundian court. This particular tourdion derives from a song first published by Pierre Attaignant in 1530 as «La Magdalena», which was later re-arranged by an anonymous musician into the song presented above.
traduction en anglais ###
When I Drink Claret (Bordeaux) Wine
When I drink claret (Bordeaux) wine
My friend, everything turns, turns, turns, turns...
Now, I also drink
Anjou or Arbois.
Let's sing and drink:
Let's declare war on that wine flask!
Let's sing and drink
My friends; let's drink, then!
From that fatty ham
Let's (all) eat to forget our sorrows!
From that fatty ham
My friends, let's eat, then!
Let's sing and drink:
Long life to love and the bottle!
Let's sing and drink
My friends; let's drink, then!
