English text
Come, celebrate the May,
Let's have a roundelay,
And, mirthful as a fay,
We'll dance and sing the day,
The livelong day of May!
The sun shall shed his ray,
In dazzling light shall play,
And gilding ev'ry spray,
Illuminate the day,
The glorious day of May!
Come, lads and lasses, say,
With heart and voice full gay,
How earnestly we pray,
This brilliant first of May
May prove a happy day!
