Come, O come! Castanets are gaily sounding;
Light feet to their notes are bounding;
Merry dance and joyous song
Gladden now that happy throng.
Never, never yet did music's measure.
Bear such thrilling notes of pleasure;
Hearts and eyes are filled with glee,
And gayest of the gay we'll be.

Day is past: Stars now brightly beam above us,
Hearts are near that fondly love us;
Sweet guitar and mandolin
Give new pleasure to the scene.
Come, then come! never yet did music's measure.
Bear such thrilling notes of pleasure;
Hearts and eyes are filled with glee,
And gayest of the gay we'll be.
