      E, en tanto que os demais paguen,
      Eles recachan a perna.
      E como serán sumidos
      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 give the surcharge for the gulps
