This week marks my second annual pilgrimage to the Ordway to experience a performance by the Minnesota Opera. Last year I saw La Boheme (Puccini) and this year La Traviata (Verdi).
So, in honor of this most glorious of art forms, I give you "Libiamo ne' lieti calici," the brindisi from La Traviata, featuring the sublime and unparalleled voice of tenor Placido Domingo. Soprano Teresa Stratas is pretty fab too. Not exactly edifying content for those observing certain Lenten disciplines, but nobody asked me when they should stage the production.
Weekly beauty: La Traviata

I never knew what they were singing out in this song, I'm glad you found a video with the lyrics translated.
Hope you had a wonderful time.
