Sound the flute(长笛)!

Now it's mute!

Bird's delight,

Day and night,

Nightingale(夜莺),

In the dale,

Lark(百灵鸟) in sky, --

Merrily,

Merrily, merrily, to welcome the new year.

Little boy,

Full of joy;

Little girl,

Sweet and small;

Cock does crow,

So do you;

Merry voice,

Infant noise;

Merrily, merrily, to welcome the new year.

Little ______,

Here I am;

Come and lick

My white neck;

Let me pull

Your soft wool;

Let me kiss

Your soft face;

Merrily, merrily, to welcome in the year.
