Original text and translations

English text

Merry sings the lark at the break of day,
Tra la la la,
Listen while she sings her merry lay,
Tra la la la.

Hear her song, hear her song,
Yes, so sweetly she sings,
Tra la la la la la.

Rouse ye, rouse ye now, at the morning call,
Tra la la la,
Rouse ye, idle dreamers one and all,
Tra la la la.

Health and strength are found in the morning air,
Tra la la la,
Beauty, youth and life in nature’s face,
Tra la la la.
