Come, O wine-seller, bring it at whatever price you see fit,
O you, wine-bearer, bring whatever you see,
on generous terms—may God not bless haggling!
Tolerance, not blessed by God is intoxication,

If tomorrow the hangover of drunkenness reminds me of this,
If the intoxication of wine reminds me tomorrow,
then unwelcome is my day, and alas for my yesterday!
Then good for my day, and my yearning for yesterday.
