  • A very free translation:

    The song describes a certain Rabbi Elimelech who was drinking a little bit more wine than was good for him. The more he drank, the more "freilach" he became, i.e., happy and a bit boisterous. He took off his tefilin (used while praying) and put on his glasses and began calling for various musicians to help him celebrate.
