      En bebedelas, o aumento,
      Dan a sisa pol-os tragos
      E miran outros pr’o vento.

      in the surcharge nor in the tavern
      and, as long as the others pay,
      they uncover the leg [they sunbathe].
      And since they are gonna be consumed
      in binges, the augment,
      they give the surcharge for the gulps
      and others look into the wind.
