English text

Sing a sweet melodious measure,
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la,
Home’s a theme replete with pleasure,
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la,
Waft enchanting lays around,
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la,
Home! a grateful there resound,
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.

Though the moon refuse to light us,
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la,
Come, where mirth and joy invite us,
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la,
Come where music’s notes are swelling,
Fa, la, la, la, la, la,
And where tales of love are telling,
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
