Original text and translations

English text

The stars are bright in the sky tonight,
The air is cool and clear,
The skaters are out with a merry shout
That echoes far and near;
Away! away! we will not stay,
Away o’er the frozen track,
With laugh and song we will glide along,
’Till our comrades call us back.
O’er the ice and frozen snow, follow me, follow me.

Our skates keep time to the skater’s rhyme,
As swiftly on we glide,
We laugh and sing ’till the echoes ring,
Thro’ the blue dome far and wide,
O, swift we go o’er the ice below,
As the eagle leaves the air,
Our smiles are bright and our hearts are light,
And we know no thought of care.
O’er the ice and frozen snow, follow me, follow me.
