Original text and translations

English text

The bees, they hum ’mong opening flowers,
And carol birds in green armed bowers.
The earth is kissed by fragrant showers;
But my heart, my heart doth count the weary hours,
For my love, my love is far away.

The golden sunshine have the flowers,
And birds their mates in green armed bowers.
In dreams to ocean run the showers;
But my heart, my heart doth count the weary hours,
For my love, my love is far away.
