La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la. So sings the young milkmaid with her pail on her head, As blooming like morning she hastes to the mead; Her lover is chasing the chamois alone; He hears her below him and answers the tone. La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la. On goes the bold hunter the mountain to scale, While the maiden bears homeward the full flowing pail; With hearts light and free, as they go on their way, Each sings the sane song to the toils of the day. La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la. When evening comes darkling o’er meadow and grove, And stars in the heavens are bright sparkling above, Thus sings he, retracing the well-beaten track, The maid in the valley thus welcomes him back. La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
