Allegro giocoso, happy

1. Dear people, you´re welcome
to that cheerful festival.
Let all dark thoughts fly away,
let them behind the door!
Yes, yes, yes, today there is the festival,
today there is the festival and tomorrow too.

2. Who wants to know who we are?
The jolly Sorbs from Lusatia.
We´ll sing and dance
the wonderful songs from our homeland.
Yes, yes, yes today there is the festival,
today there is the festival and tomorrow too.

3. Now listen to our singers!
Their voices are brilliant
like those of the best cantors
and the birds in the woods.
Yes, yes, yes today there is the festival,
today there is the festival and tomorrow too.

4. Heja, what a temperament
do show our dancers!
Our compliment also to them,
because they make us happy here.
Yes, yes, yes today there is the festival,
today there is the festival and tomorrow too.
