English text

Let us sing a song of the pleasant days,
When the beautiful springtime comes,
Of the balmy wind that from Southland strays,
When the beautiful springtime comes;
Sing of pattering beat of refreshing rain,
As it falls over forest and hill and plain,
And arrays in green garments the earth again,
When the beautiful springtime comes.

When the beautiful springtime comes!
When the beautiful springtime comes!
Let us join in a carol of joy and cheer,
To the praise of the glad days that will be here,
When the beautiful springtime comes!

Let us sing of flowers that wake from sleep
When the beautiful springtime comes.
And from out their dark hiding places peep,
When the beautiful springtime comes;
Of the brooks that so long have lain still below,
Winter’s cover of ice and of fleecy snow,
Warmly kissed by the sunbeams they’ll onward flow,
When the beautiful springtime comes.

Let us sing of skies of fair azure hue,
When the beautiful springtime comes;
Of the white clouds sailing the deeps of blue,
When the beautiful springtime comes;
Of the radiant sheen of a golden light
That our nature throws gently its mantle bright,
While new charms on earth’s smiling face greet the sight,
When the beautiful springtime comes.
