Original text and translations

English text

We come again with songs to greet you,
To feel the warmth of every heart,
In happiness we smile to meet you,
Yet sigh to think so soon we part.

On every spot the sunbeams brightens
These constant hearted friends we find.
With such the tie of friendship tightens,
No space can blot them from the mind.

But now again we meet in gladness
To wipe the tear from every eye;
Come, banish from the heart all sadness,
Nor let a sorrow cause a sigh.
