Spring Songs

Let’s watch the snow melting

It’s wonderful and very nice

The nightingales are back

The sun warms the day

The weather is great. It is mild

In the streets where kids are playing

Football and girls are jumping ropes

It's nice out. It's a glorious spring

Let's hum the songs of yesteryear

Together harmoniously.

The air is good and fresh this morning

After the breakfast of hot buttered

Petits pains and latte

We go to the platform on the quay

To skate, to see and witness

The comings and goings of the small sailboats. It's dark

At the bottom of the ocean where the fish intertwine

The weather is nice. It is springtime

Let's sing the chorus of the old days

Together melodiously.
