Sound the trumpet
Language: English
Available translation(s): DUT FRE GER
Sound the trumpet till around
You make the listening shores rebound.
On the sprightly oboy play.
All the instruments of joy
That skilful numbers can employ
To celebrate the glory of this day.

Tant sur la trompette sonnez
Language: French (Français)  after the English
Tant sur la trompette sonnez
Qu'en écho les rives répondent autour.
Sur le leste hautbois, jouez ;
Sur tous les instruments de joie
Qu'en foule habile on emploie
Pour célébrer la gloire de ce jour.
