英文歌词： 　　The mummer's dance 艺者之舞
When in the springtime of the year 　　在一年之春
When the trees are crowned with leaves 　　当树生满繁茂的叶子时
When the ash and oak, and the birch and yew 　　当岑树和橡树，和白桦树、紫杉
Are dressed in ribbons fair 　　被装饰上丝带
When owls call the breathless moon 　　当猫头鹰呼唤无息的月时　　 In the blue veil of the night 　　在兰色的夜的面纱下
The shadows of the trees appear 　　树影浮现
Amidst the lantern light 　　在灯笼的亮光中
We've been rambling all the night 　　我们已漫游一夜
And some time of this day 　　还有白天的一些时间
Now returning back again 　　现在再次返回
We bring a garland gay 　　我们带来鲜艳的花环
Who will go down to those sh groves 　　它会走入荫蔽的小树林
And summon the shadows there 　　集起那边的阴影
And tie a ribbon on those sheltering arms 　　并且在庇护之臂上系上丝带
In the springtime of the year 　　在一年之春
The songs of birds seem to fill the wood 　　鸟儿的歌好象充满了整个树林
That when the fiddler plays 　　当琴者拨弄时
All their voices can be heard 　　鸟儿的所有的声音都能被听见　　 Long past their woodland days 　　远远地穿过它们的林中岁月　　 And so they linked their hands and danced 　　所以它们手拉手，跳着舞
Round in circles and in rows 　　成列成环地转着
And so the journey of the night descends 　　而后夜的旅程突然拜访
When all the shades are gone 　　当所有的林荫消失时
"A garland gay we bring you here 　　我们为你带来五彩的花环　　 And at your door we stand 　　我们站在你的门前
It is a sprout well budded out 　　那是个顺利萌发的幼苗
The work of our lord's hand" 　　出自我们的国王之手.
