Original text and translations

English text

We may laugh and we may sing,
Each as happy as a King,
As we journey on thro’ life.

When the heart is free from care,
And the world seems bright and fair,
Still untouched by pain and strife.

When the heart is free from care,
And each other’s love we share,
We may tread the path with ease.

We may tread the path with ease,
And be happy as we please,
And we never need to sigh.
