We present the complete set of analytical solutions of the geodesic equation in the general five-dimensional Myers-Perry spacetime in terms of the Weierstrass -, ζ- and σ-functions. We analyze the underlying polynomials in the polar and radial equations, which depend on the parameters of the metric and the conserved quantities of a test particle, and characterize the motion by their zeros. We exemplify the efficiency of the analytical method on the basis of the explicit construction of test
