The king on his throne is not happy, my dear,
he is feared, but he's loved by none.
I would not rule over a kingdom, my dear,
for I'd rather be loved by one.
Oh, give me Arcadia's golden time
the wealth of a world above,
and shepherds are we in Arcady,
for you and I are in love
and shepherds are we in Arcady,
for you and I are in love,
you and I are in love.

Love is enough I ween.
All joy to bring;
Love makes of me a Queen.
While you shall reign,
shall reign a King.
Life is a dream of old,
a poems page.
What is to us the age of gold?
Our youth is the golden age.

The warrior bold may be happy my dear,
for 'tis glory to win a fight.
The poet who liveth for fame, my dear,
e'er may dwell on Olympus height.
But give me the hills and the valleys green,
the brook and the cooing dove,
the shade of the trees,
and the summer breeze,
for you and I are in love,
the shade of the trees
and the summer breeze,
for you and I are in love,
you and I are in love.

Love is enough I ween.
All joy to bring;
Love makes of me a Queen.
While you shall reign,
shall reign a King.
Life is a dream of old,
a poems page.
What is to us the age of gold?
Our youth is the golden age.
For youth is the golden age,
our youth is the age of gold.
