Voici le vert et beau Mai conviant à tout soulas tout est riant, tout est gai roses et lis vont fleurir. Rions, jouons et sautons, ébatons nous tous à l'envie de la saison. Roses et lis cueillir faut pour lacer de beaux chapeaux de beaux bouquets et tortis dont reparés chanterons. Rions, jouons et sautons, ébatons nous tous à l'envie de la saison. Neige et frimas ne sont plus calme et douce rit la mer le vent hideux se tient coi l'air drille d'un doux Zéphyr. Rions, jouons et sautons, ébatons nous tous á l'envie de la saison. En toutes parts les oiseaux vont joyeux dégoisotant: vont pleins d'amour s'ébaudir en la forêt, sur les eaux. Rions, jouons et sautons, ébatons nous tous á l'envie de la saison.

Llegó el mes de mayo con su belleza y verdor Invitando a la diversión Todo es risa y alegría Las rosas y azucenas florecerán. Riamos, juguemos y saltemos Entreguémonos todos al deseo de la estación. Cortemos las rosas y azucenas Para adornar bellos sombreros Bellos ramos y torzales Y engalanados cantemos. Riamos, juguemos y saltemos Entreguémonos todos al deseo de la estación. Desaparecieron la escarcha y las nieves Ríe el mar dulce y en calma El horrible viento ya ha enmudecido El aire se balancea con el suave céfiro. Riamos, juguemos y saltemos Entreguémonos todos al deseo de la estación. Por todas partes los pájaros parlotean alegremente se divierten, llenos de amor en el bosque y sobre las aguas. Riamos, juguemos y saltemos Entreguémonos todos al deseo de la estación.
