Now is the month of maying

Language: English after the Italian (Italiano)

Our translations: DUT SPA

Now is the month of maying,
When merry lads are playing, fa la,
Each with his bonny lass
Upon the greeny grass. Fa la.

The Spring, clad all in gladness,
Doth laugh at Winter's sadness, fa la,
And to the bagpipe's sound
The nymphs tread out their ground. Fa la

Fie then! why sit we musing,
Youth's sweet delight refusing? Fa la.
Say dainty nymphs, and speak,
Shall we play barley-break? Fa la.

Ya llegó el mes de celebraciones

Language: Spanish (Español) after the English

Ya llegó el mes de celebraciones;
Mayo, y los alegres muchachos juegan, fa la la,
Cada uno con su bella dama
sobre la verde hierba, fa la la.
 
La primavera vestida de regocijo
se ríe de la tristeza invernal, fa la la,
Y al son de las gaitas,
las ninfas zapatean en el suelo, fa la la.
 
Entonces, ¿por qué permanecer sentados meditando,
Y rechazar los dulces deleites de la juventud? Fa la la.
¡Decid, delicadas ninfas, hablad!
¿Juguetearemos sobre la hierba? Fa la la.
