Original text and translations

Latin text

Vinum bonum et suave,
nunquam bibi vinum tale,
vinum cor lætificat.
Vinum purum et germanum
morbos pellit
reddens sanum
corpus, quod rectificat:
Vinum bonum mere sumptum
senem facit mire promptum
formosulis commendans.
Christus vinum semel fecit
ex aqua, quod non deficit,
et bibentes saturans.
Ne mimeris semel factum,
sed mirere tale factum
in vite quotidie.
Ergo Christum invocemus,
quod lætantes hic bibemus,
tale vinum porrigat.
Fiat.
