BELTANE, fiesta celta del verano.

[chorus]

Hal an tow, jolly rumble oh
We were up long before the day oh
To welcome in the summer
To welcome in the may oh
The summer is a-comin' in
And winter's gone away oh (1)


Take no scorn to wear the horn
It was a crest when you were born
Your father's father wore it
And your father wore it too

[chorus]

Robin Hood and Little John
Have both gone to the fair oh
And we will to the merry green wood
To hunt the buck and hare oh

[chorus]

What happened to the span-iard
That made so great a boast oh
They shall eat the feathered goose
And we shall eat the roast oh

[chorus]

The lord and lady bless you
With all their power and might oh
And send their peace upon us
And bring peace by day and night oh

(1) (Coro)
Formemos una fila alegre oh,
Nos levantamos  antes que llegue el día oh,
Para darle la bienvenida al verano oh,
Para darle la bienvenida a mayo oh,
El verano está viniendo oh,
El invierno se va oh.
