Hoy comamos y bebamos [English translation]

Let us eat and drink today.

Let us sing and enjoy life,

for tomorrow we fast.

In honor of this day of Carnival,

let us do ourselves proud,

and stuff our stomachs,

and stretch the skin.

Such custom is good advice,

that we should fill ourselves today,

for tomorrow we fast.

Let us enjoy ourselves today,

for tomorrow is like death.

Let us eat and drink everything

as we head for our flocks.

We won't lose even a mouthful.

we'll eat on the way,

for tomorrow we fast.
