Original text and translations
English text
- 1.
- Here we come a-wassailing
- Among the leaves so green,
- Here we come a-wand'ring
- So fair to be seen.
- Love and joy come to you,
- And to you your wassail, too,
- And God bless you, and send you
- A Happy New Year,
- And God send you a Happy New Year.
- 2.
- We are not daily beggers
- That beg from door to door,
- But we are neighbors' children
- Whom you have seen before
- Love and joy come to you,
- And to you your wassail, too,
- And God bless you, and send you
- A Happy New Year,
- And God send you a Happy New Year.
- 3.
- Good master and good mistress,
- As you sit beside the fire,
- Pray think of us poor children
- Who wander in the mire.
- Love and joy come to you,
- And to you your wassail, too,
- And God bless you, and send you
- A Happy New Year,
- And God send you a Happy New Year.
- 4.
- We have a little purse
- Made of ratching leather skin;
- We want some of your small change
- To line it well within.
- Love and joy come to you,
- And to you your wassail, too,
- And God bless you, and send you
- A Happy New Year,
- And God send you a Happy New Year.
- 5.
- Bring us out a table
- And spread it with a cloth;
- Bring us out a cheese,
- And of your Christmas loaf.
- Love and joy come to you,
- And to you your wassail, too,
- And God bless you, and send you
- A Happy New Year,
- And God send you a Happy New Year.
- 6.
- God bless the master of this house,
- Likewise the mistress too;
- And all the little children
- That round the table go.
- Love and joy come to you,
- And to you your wassail, too,
- And God bless you, and send you
- A Happy New Year,
- And God send you a Happy New Year.
