Par des chants et des danses
Ivre de joie et de liqueur
Il plonge dans un sommeil enchanteur
These lyrics are from the song "Allegro" by Il Gardino Armonico, and they depict a scene of celebration during the grape harvest. The first two lines translate to "The peasant celebrates the harvest/Irresistibly through songs and dances." These lines convey the atmosphere of joy and festivity as the peasants rejoice in the successful harvest of their grapes.
The following two lines, "Drunk with joy and liquor/He dives into an enchanting sleep," provide an interesting contrast to the previous lines. Here, the imagery shifts from the celebration of the harvest to the aftermath of indulgence. The peasant, perhaps having consumed excessive amounts of alcohol and overwhelmed by the emotions of the festivities, falls into a deep and enchanting slumber. This portrays a moment of tranquility and satisfaction, as the peasant's exhaustion from the celebration leads him into a peaceful and pleasant sleep.
Overall, these lyrics capture the essence of a grape harvest celebration. The dancing, singing, and the abundance of liquor create an atmosphere of joy and merriment. The reference to the peasant's "enchanting sleep" suggests that the celebration has been fulfilling and fulfilling enough for the peasant to find solace and peace in rest. These lyrics not only depict a moment of celebration but also highlight the serenity that comes after such festivities, emphasizing the connection between the hard work of the harvest and the gratification it brings.
