Traditional - Castanets are sounding - текст песни (слова)

Come, O come! Castanets are gaily sounding;
 Light feet to their notes are bounding;
 Merry dance and joyous song
 Gladden now that happy throng.
 Never, never yet did music's measure.
 Bear such thrilling notes of pleasure;
 Hearts and eyes are filled with glee,
 And gayest of the gay we'll be.
 
 Day is past: Stars now brightly beam above us,
 Hearts are near that fondly love us;
 Sweet guitar and mandolin
 Give new pleasure to the scene.
 Come, then come! never yet did music's measure.
 Bear such thrilling notes of pleasure;
 Hearts and eyes are filled with glee,
 And gayest of the gay we'll be.
