Original text and translations

English text

1. Fa la la.
 O now weep, now sing
 Fa la la.
 For this is love,
 In frost to fry,
 In tears to sing,
 In life to die,
 And never to have ending.
2. Fa la la.
 I die, willingly,
 Fa la la.
 And yet I live,
 In spite of love,
 In hope of gain,
 And think to prove
 Some pleasures mingled with pain.
