If I drink the silver and if I give away the gold O what is that to anyone else. If I go to the leafy woods gathering berries or chestnuts, Plucking apples from branches or herding cows, If I stretch out for a while beneath a tree relaxing, O what is that to anyone else. If I stretch out for a while beneath a tree relaxing, O what is that to anyone else. If I go for a night-visit and for dancing and sport, To fairs and races and every gathering of that sort, If I see happy people and if I'm happy with them, O what is that to anyone else. If I see happy people and if I'm happy with them, O what is that to anyone else. People say I'm without riches no doubt, Without goods or clothes or cattle or stock, If I a happy living in a hovel, O what is that to anyone else. If I a happy living in a hovel, O what is that to anyone else.
