Original text and translations

English text

Twine ye roses in your hair,
Come, with wreaths advancing!
Now for all resounds the call
To the revel and the dancing!
Sun, and moon, and ev'ry star
Dance they not in heaven afar,
Brightly o'er us glancing?
Oh, the joy what heart but shares?
Are not sun, and moon, and stars ever dancing?
