Springtime LYRICS: Hello little flower It's very nice to meet you Have you been hiding in the snow All winter long Hello little tree branch I see your leaves are growing So very green and beautiful For winter's gone

VERSURI: Bună, floare mica, Mă bucur mult să te cunosc, Te-ai ascuns în zăpadă Toată iarna ? Bună, mică creangă, Văd că-ți cresc frunzele, Foarte verzi și frumoase, Pentru că iarna a trecut,

Springtime springtime See the sunshine in the sky Springtime Springtime Wake up world say hi Wake up world say hi

Primăvară, primăvară, Soarele e pe cer, Primăvară, primăvară, Trezește-te lume, salută ! Trezește-te lume, salută !

Hello little bear cub It's very nice to meet you Have you been sleeping in your cave All winter long Hello little tortoise I see you slowly walking And breathing in the nice warm air For winter's gone

Bună, pui de urs, Mă bucur mult să te cunosc, Ai dormit în peștera ta Toată iarna ? Bună, mică țestoasă, Te văd mergând încet, Și respirând aerul plăcut și cald, Pentru că iarna a trecut,

Springtime Springtime See the sunshine in the sky Springtime Springtime Wake up world say hi Wake up world say hi

Primăvară, primăvară, Soarele e pe cer, Primăvară, primăvară, Trezește-te lume, salută ! Trezește-te lume, salută !

Hello little rain cloud You look a little lonely Your friends have gone for Springtime And you're on your own Oh but please don't worry We still need lots of water For when it rains it helps The things on earth to grow

Bună, micule nor, Pari puțin cam singur, Prietenii tăi au plecat odată cu primăvara Și ești singur. Dar te rog nu te-ngrijora Noi avem nevoie de apă, Pentru că ploaia ajută Să crească natura pe pământ.

Springtime Springtime See the sunshine in the sky Springtime Springtime Wake up world say hi Wake up world say hi

Primăvară, primăvară, Soarele e pe cer, Primăvară, primăvară, Trezește-te lume, salută ! Trezește-te lume, salută ! 4
