English text

When as the mavis sweetly sings,

rapture and love,

rapture and love his notes inspire

When as the mavis sweetly sings,

rapture and love,

rapture and love his notes inspire

As nestward now his way he wings,

he wings, his way,

he wings his blissful song,

his blissful song shall never tire.
