English text

Come away, come away,
Oh, come bright, lighthearted today!
Come away, come away,
Come join in the mirth of the day;
Come away, come away,
Let sorrow and care not annoy,
Banish all sadness, and cherish all gladness,
Oh, come with a heart full of joy.

Come out in the meadows so green;
Come, row on the waters serene;
Come, rest in the cool, quiet bowers;
Come with the birds and the flowers.

Come away, come away,
Oh, let us forsake all our care,
Come away, come away,
All nature is glad everywhere,
Come away, come away,
Let duties and toil not annoy,
Banish all sadness and cherish all gladness,
Oh, come with a heart full of joy.
