Per Hipòcrates [English translation]

I had a sorrow deep within my heart

And I placed my whole body under a doctor's care:

After making sure that everything was in its place,

This is how he shared his conclusions:

"If you want to, you can do

The same that everyone does:

Leave all pleasures aside

So you can die a little sooner."

"Wise men have said

That fish was nefarious,

That olive oil was poisonous

And wine is a mortal sin."

Since the doctor healed me immediately,

The both of us made a toast to Hippocrates

While remembering, with every sip of wine, old songs

From Crete, Alghero and other places.

The wine itself

Was dancing inside the barrels

While making a toast to honour its relatives:

The grapevines that are close to the sea.

The wine from the Penedès

Wanted wine from Arles

And in Dènia, the muscat wine

Asked for retsina wine.
