Original text and translations

English text

Over an ocean of sparkling snow,
Merrily O, Merrily O,
Swift as a bird in its flight we go,
Merrily, Merrily O.

Merrily, Merrily O, Merrily, Merrily O,
Over the snow,
Swiftly we go,
Merrily, Merrily O.

Under a canopy gemmed with the light,
Merrily O, Merrily O,
Speed we away on our pathway bright,
Merrily, Merrily O.

Mingling our singing with jingling of bells,
Merrily O, Merrily O,
Over the valley our music swells,
Merrily, Merrily O.
