Original text and translations

English.png English text

To the shady woods now wend we,
and there the midday spend we.
Fa la la.
There Phoebus' self is colder
and we may be the bolder.
Fa la la.

German.png German translation

Den schattigen Wäldern wenden wir uns nun zu
und verbringen dort die Mittagszeit.
Dort ist Phöbus [die Sonne] kälter,
und wir können umso kecker sein.
