Full Lyrics
If days are short, the nights are long;
Then why should we complain?
Since night brings round the merry song
And merrier refrain;
All joining,
Combining
To dry the passing tear—
Ah! Winter is a pleasant time
And brings the best o’ cheer.
Then, give me jovial Winter, boys,
And warm souls all around,
To share the rich and tranquil joys
That in its region are found.
Friends meeting,
Hearts beating
In love and truth sincere—
Oh! Winter is a jovial time,
And brings the best o’ cheer.
