Original text and translations
English text
Love learns by laughing first to speak,
by laughing first to speak,
Then slyly gains cares passing great.
Fa la la la la la.
But I will laugh, but I will laugh,
will laugh, but I will laugh without that care,
And bid love touch me if he dare.
Fa la la la la la la.
