Ushag veg veen we bring you home,We bring you home, we bring you home;Happy and gay, we must away,Away, away, away.

Ushag veg veen, we leave goodbye,We leave goodbye, we leave goodbye,Into your dreams we’ll steal and play,And play, and play, and play.

Ushag veg veen, we kiss our hands,We kiss our hands, we kiss our hands;Away we fly, and bid good-bye,Good-bye, good-bye, good-bye.
