:With voice as full and round


English text
:A sunlit alm shines clear,
 
:With clover blossoms sweet;
:Come from the mountain side,
:There dwells my maiden dear
:Come from the valleys wide,
:And there my love I meet.
:See, how we muster strong,
:Tramping along!
 
:Rifle on shoulder sling,
:Powder and bullets bring,
:Manly in mind and heart,
:Play we our part.
 
:Sure be each eye to-day,
:Steady each hand must stay,
:If in the trial we,
:Victors would be!
 
:Sharp is the crack! 't Is done!
:Lost is the chance, or won;
:Right in the gold is it!
:Huzza! The hit!
 
:The sun will sink and light the west
:And touch the peaks with crimson glow:
:Then shadows fill the vale with rest
:While stars look peace on all below.


:In triumph then we take our way,
:There flying with no fear
:And with our prizes homeward wend:
:The swallows pass all day,
:Through meadows sweet with new-mown hay,
:And fast, my maiden dear,  
:A song exultant will we send.
:Sees chamois haste away.


:I cannot linger here,
:I cannot wait below;
:To seek my maiden dear.
:I, to the alm must go.


:The mountain's call I hear,
:And up the height I bound;
:I know my maiden dear
:Will mark my Juchhé sound.


:Rejoicing come I here
:My flaxen-haired sweet-heart;
:I love thee maiden dear,
:Nay! Bid me not depart!}}

A mellow bell pears near,
It has so sweet a sound;
I know a maiden dear
With voice as full and round

A sunlit alm shines clear,
With clover blossoms sweet;
There dwells my maiden dear
And there my love I meet.

There flying with no fear
The swallows pass all day,
And fast, my maiden dear,
Sees chamois haste away.

I cannot linger here,
I cannot wait below;
To seek my maiden dear.
I, to the alm must go.

The mountain's call I hear,
And up the height I bound;
I know my maiden dear
Will mark my Juchhé sound.

Rejoicing come I here
My flaxen-haired sweet-heart;
I love thee maiden dear,
Nay! Bid me not depart!
