Lyrics:

The boar's head in hand bear I,
Bedeck'd with bays and rosemary
And I pray you, my masters, be merry
Quot estis in convivio (Translation: As many as are in the feast)

[Chorus]
Caput apri defero (Translation: The boar's head I offer)
Reddens laudes Domino (Translation: Giving praise to the Lord)

The boar's head, as I understand,
Is the rarest dish in all the land,
Which thus bedeck'd with a gay garland
Let us servire cantico (Translation: serve with a song)

[Chorus]

Our steward hath provided this
In honour of the King of Bliss,
Which, on this day to be servèd is
In Reginensi atrio (Translation: In Queen's hall)

The boar's head in hand bear I,
Bedeck'd with bays and rosemary
And I pray you, my masters, be merry
Quot estis in convivio (Translation: As many as are in the feast)

[Chorus x2]
