With my heart,
with my soul,
[from ?] the young
or the old,
when I'm high,
when I'm low,
when I'm fast,
when I'm slow,
I shall sing.
La la la la la la la la la

I shall sing,
sing my song,
be it right,

In the night,
in the day,
any how,
any way,
I shall sing.
La la la la la la la la la

La la la la la la la la la

Oh, oh,
