Lyrics English
AWAY from the city
And into the sun,
Out to the country,
Run! Run! Run !

Run in the raindrops !
Run ‘neath the trees !
Run little races
With each little breeze !

Run down the hillside,
Run up the lane;
Run through the meadow,
Then run back again!

Run and be merry
All through the day!
Run to the country,
Away! Away!
