Original text and translations

English text

All around in fairy ring,
Thus we dance and thus we sing.
Trip and go, to and fro,
Trip o’er the village green.
By the moon we sport and play,
With the night begins our day;
While we frisk, the dew doth fall,
Trip it, little urchins all;
Lightly as the humming bee,
Two by two, and three by three,
So we frisk with merry glee.
