Original text and translations

English text

    In pride of May
    The fields are gay,
The birds do sweetly sing.

    So nature would
    That all things should
With joy begin the Spring.

    Then Lady dear,
    Do you appear
In beauty like the Spring?

    I well dare say
    The birds that day
More cheerfully will sing.

Fa, la, la.
