Original text and translations

English text

Sweet bells we love your music,
We love your sweet refrain,
So let us hear your silv’ry tones,
Yes, chime, O chime again.
The robin may sing sweetly
Upon the maple tree,
But O, his sweetest songs are nought
Beside your melody.

Chime again, O Chime, Chime again.

Sweet bells we own a magic
We seek elsewhere in vain,
So fill our hearts with melody,
And chime, O chime again.
The streamlets warble sweetly
Whilst winding to the sea,
But O, their sweetest songs are nought
Beside your melody.

Chime again, O Chime, Chime again.
