Thread Name: 18th century Irish drinking songs
Subject: RE: 18th century Irish drinking songs
Hi Martin. I think, and I've got to say I can only speak as a monoglot Englishman, that it would translate better as "Drinking With Vigour".

I know. Very questionable. But "Another Round" sounds even more unlikely to me. Even worse, when Sam Charters collected a version of the song from Séan de Hora, the local priest rendered it into English for him as "Bottoms Up".
