"Bridegroom and Bride...
When a merry maiden marries"

Enter Gondoliers and Contadine, followed by Marco, Gianetta, Giuseppe, and Tessa.
|
|
Tessa. | Chorus. |
Sunlight takes the place of shade | Sunlight takes the place of shade |
When you marry, merry maid! | When you marry, merry maid! |
When a merry maiden marries, Sorrow goes and pleasure tarries; |
|
Every sound becomes a song, All is right, and nothing's wrong! |
Every sound becomes a song, All is right, and nothing's wrong! |
|
Tessa. | Chorus. |
Sullen night is laughing day — | Sullen night is laughing day — |
Ah! | All the year is merry May! |
All the year is merry May! | All is merry May! |
All the year is merry May! | |
Merry, merry May, merry, merry May, | Merry, merry May, |
All the year is merry, | |
merry May! | is May! |
