A beautiful day, a spring day
Awakens in my memories,
A beautiful day, a golden one,
Full of my childhood years.
I play in our little garden,
The cherry trees are in bloom,
My cheeks are flaming red,
My eyes are shining.
My mother tells me
I shouldn't forget that
When the sun sets,
I should come in and eat.
My father listens and feels proud
And gives a smile,
And says to me: - For heaven’s sake,
Don't climb too far towards the river! |
