Original lyrics
Translation

Libiamo ne’ lieti calici

Let's drink from the joyful cups

Let's drink, let's drink from the joyous chalices
that beauty blossoms.
And may the fleeting moment
be elated with voluptuousness.
 
Let's drink from the sweet thrills
that love arouses,
because that eye aims straight
to the almighty heart.
 
Let's drink,
my love: the love among chalices
will have warmer kisses.
 
Ah! Let's drink,
my love: the love among chalices
will have warmer kisses.
 
With you, with you I'll be able to share
my cheerful times.
Everything is foolish in the world
which is not pleasure.
 
Let's enjoy ourselves, for fleeting and quick
the delight of love is:
it's a flower that blooms and dies
and can no longer be enjoyed.
 
Let's enjoy ourselves, fervent
flattering voice invites us!
 
Ah! Let's enjoy the cup, the cup and the chants,
the embellished night and the laughter;
let the new day find us in this paradise.
 
Life means celebration,
 
If one hasn't known love,
 
Don't tell someone who doesn't know,
 
But this is my fate...
 
Ah, yes! Let's enjoy the cup, the cup and the chants,
the embellished night and the laughter;
let the new day find us in this paradise.
