| Lyrics: | English Translation: |
|
The boar's head in hand bear I Bedecked with bay and rosemary Pray you, my masters, be merry |
|
| Quot estis in convivio | As you all feast so heartily |
| Chorus (after each verse): | |
| Caput apri defero | Lo behold the head I bring |
| Redens laudes Domino | Giving praise to God we sing |
| Caput apri defero | Lo behold the head I bring |
| Redens laudes Domino | Giving praise to God we sing |
|
The boar's head, as I understand Is the bravest dish in all the land Thus bedecked with a gay garland |
|
| Let us servire cantico | Let us serve with a song |
|
A steward hath provided this In honor of the King of bliss On this day be served is |
|
| In Reginensi Atrio | In the Queen's Hall |
|
The boar's head in hand bear I Bedecked with bay and rosemary Pray you, my masters, be merry |
|
| Quot estis in convivio | As you all feast so heartily |
