Down has come the spring my pals!
Let’s commence our joyful dance
All in unison sweet you sing
Pure lush green in every thing
Full of blooms the basements are
Yellow red violet the roses are
How wonderful looks this garden
Set by the gorgeous spring maiden!
Has set in the season fruit bearing
Big black beetles drunken singing
Butterflies they heartily invite,
There is elixir for all to share
Let us celebrate sing and dance
The spring is on from all four flanks!
