Original text and translations

French text Ce moys de may, ma verte cotte je vestiray. De bon matin me lèveray, ce joly moys de may. Un sault, deux saults, trois saults, en rue je feray, Pour voir si mon amy verray. Je luy diray qu'il me descotte; Me descottant le baiseray.

English translation This month of May my green skirt I'll wear early in the morning, I'll rise in this lovely month of May one hop, two hops, three hops into the street I'll make to see if I'll see my friend I'll tell him to remove my skirt while he removes it, I'll kiss him.

English translation Singing translation by Anita Gould: This month of May, this month of May, This month of May, in green array'd My skirt of green I’ll don today. This lovely morn I’ll start the day This merry, merry month of May This lovely morn I’ll start the day: One hop, two hops, three hops into the street I’ll stray My beau to seek, and bid him play. Remove my skirt, I shall him pray And skirtless thus, a kiss I’ll lay.   Copyright: CC BY NC SA

German translation In diesem Monat Mai werde ich mein grünes Kleid anziehen. Am frühen Morgen werde ich aufstehen, in diesem schönen Mai. Ein Sprung, zwei Sprünge, drei Sprünge werde ich auf die Straße machen zu sehen, ob ich meinen Freund erblicke. Ich sage ihm, daß er mich entkleiden soll, Wenn er mich entkleidet, will ich ihn küssen.

Polish translation Translation by Stanisław Jonczyk To miesiąc maj, to miesiąc maj to śliczny miesiąc maj. Zieloną sukienkę włożę mą, gdy wstanę pięknym porankiem Raz hop, dwa hop, dróżką pobiegnę by spotkać się z mym kochankiem. I powiem mu by mi ją zdjął, Całować go będę z chwilą tą… To miesiąc maj, to miesiąc maj zieloną sukienkę włożę.

Spanish translation Este mes de mayo, mi verde abrigo yo vestiré. Muy temprano me levantaré, este lindo día de mayo. Un salto, dos saltos, tres saltos, a la calle llegaré, para ver si a mi amigo encontraré. Que me quite el vestido le diré; cuando me desvista, lo besaré.
