Original text and translations

English text

Come to the wildwood,
Come in your glee,
Here in the forest
Happy are we;
Come from the city,
Make no delay,
Come, come away, away.

Come away and leave dull care behind,
Come away and here a welcome find;
Here is joy and health for you and me,
In the forest, free.

Come to the wildwood,
Nature does play;
Music is ringing,
Glad is the day;
Song birds are joyous,
Fragrant the air,
Beautiful earth is fair.

Come to the wildwood,
Welcome today;
Breezes will sweep your
Cares far away;
Nature invites you,
Come at her call,
Happy good cheer to all.
