Paroles
1. In our happy village
Ev'ry one is gay
Sweet the shep'herd's song
At eve when all toil is ended,
At the day's soft close
To his love he goes.
2. For the gentle maiden
All his heart is torn,
And his weary soul is rack'd
With restless pain and anguish.
If for just one day
His sweet love's away.
3. Never pain or sadness
In these valleys stay,
Here life lies at rest,
Here lovely laughter has its dwelling,
Ah ! the happy day,
Laugh and love alway.
