English text

Lovely May, merry, merry May!
Bird-lets now are singing;
Everywhere, through the balmy air,
Songs of pleasure ring!

Welcome, welcome, lovely May,
Merry, merry, merry, merry May.

Happy May, merry, merry May!
With our songs we greet thee;
On the hill, by the shining rill,
Now we welcome thee.

Balmy May, merry, merry May!
How we love thy gladness;
Buds and flowers, through the sunny hours,
Ope their scented leaves.
