English text

Happy songs of joy and love,
Tripping through the sunny grove,
Every heart, every voice,
Beaming with delight,
Singing where the waters play
In the sunlight all the day;
Every heart, every voice,
Beaming with delight.

Oh, what happy, happy days,
Singing merry, joyous lays;
Come with us, come and sing,
Join our happy throng,
Down among the daisy beds,
Sunlight dancing o’er our heads;
Every bird, every flower,
Bids us welcome here.

Pleasant, joyous summer hours,
Singing birds and fragrant flowers;
All is joy, all is love
In the merry May;
When the summer sun is gone,
When our merry songs are done,
Haste away, every one,
To our happy home.
