Chanson pour boire is a term for a French drinking song frequently coupled with chanson pour danser (or song for dancing). It was used in from about 1627–1670. It is different from the air à boire primarily by the period the term was used and that chansons pour boire are usually for one voice with lute accompaniment and airs à boire are for multiple voices with lute accompaniment. Both are fairly simple; strophic with syllabic settings of light texts.
