Full Lyrics
The morn is up, the sun appears,
The grass is wet with heaven’s tears,
And shining bells of tambourines
Sparkle bright in the golden beams!
Merrily dance, merrily sing,
Our castanets with gladness ring!
Come, let us lift our tents and roam;
The trees our roof, the woods our home.
In front, our chieftain, eagle eyed,
Thro’ woods and heath our steps to guide.
Merrily dance, merrily sing,
Our castanets with gladness ring!
Light, our steps with the spring of health,
Free, our hearts from the care of wealth;
Earth’s bright flowers, for a carpet gay,
For gypsy songs, our roundelay.
Merrily dance, merrily sing,
Our castanets with gladness ring!
Our hearts are buoyant, free from strife;
And wild and brave our roving life,
Our laws, we own our chief’s decree,
And ever careless, ever gay and free!
Merrily dance, merrily sing,
Our castanets with gladness ring!
