Original text and translations

{ English text

Now is my Cloris fresh as May,
all clad in green and flowers gay:
Fa la la la.
That harvest joy might soon appear:
Fa la la la.
But she keeps May throughout the year
and August never comes the near:
Fa la la la.
August will come another day:
Fa la la la.
