Springtime

LYRICS: Bună, floare mica,

Hello little flower Mă bucur mult să te cunosc,
It's very nice to meet you Te-ai ascuns în zăpadă
Have you been hiding in the snow Toată iarna ?
All winter long Bună, mică creangă,
Hello little tree branch Văd că-ți cresc frunzele,
I see your leaves are growing Foarte verzi și frumoase,
So very green and beautiful Pentru că iarna a trecut,
For winter's gone
Primăvară, primăvară,
Springtime springtime Soarele e pe cer,
See the sunshine in the sky Primăvară, primăvară,
Springtime Springtime Trezește-te lume, salută !
Wake up world say hi Trezește-te lume, salută !
Wake up world say hi
Bună, pui de urs,
Hello little bear cub Mă bucur mult să te cunosc,
It's very nice to meet you Ai dormit în peștera ta
Have you been sleeping in your cave Toată iarna ?
All winter long Bună, mică țestoasă,
Hello little tortoise Te văd mergând încet,
I see you slowly walking Și respirând aerul plăcut și cald,
And breathing in the nice warm air Pentru că iarna a trecut,
For winter's gone
Primăvară, primăvară,
Springtime Springtime Soarele e pe cer,
See the sunshine in the sky Primăvară, primăvară,
Springtime Springtime Trezește-te lume, salută !
Wake up world say hi Trezește-te lume, salută !
Wake up world say hi
Bună, micule nor,
Hello little rain cloud Pari puțin cam singur,
You look a little lonely Prietenii tăi au plecat odată cu primăvara
Your friends have gone for Springtime Și ești singur.
And you're on your own Dar te rog nu te-ngrijora
Oh but please don't worry Noi avem nevoie de apă,
We still need lots of water Pentru că ploaia ajută
For when it rains it helps Să crească natura pe pământ.
The things on earth to grow
Primăvară, primăvară,
Springtime Springtime Soarele e pe cer,
See the sunshine in the sky Primăvară, primăvară,
Springtime Springtime Trezește-te lume, salută !
Wake up world say hi Trezește-te lume, salută !
Wake up world say hi
