      Spring

      The spring is coming

      The snow is melting,

      The sun is shining,

      Water streams are running.

      The spring is coming!

      Icicles are dripping,

      Birds are singing,

      Sunbeams are skipping.

      The spring is beginning!

      Rivers are being covered with ice tiling,

      And everything is clear:

      Why the people around are smiling,

      Because the spring is here!

      The spring is ready to start

      The spring is here.

      The spring is near.

      The spring is so close.

      The spring is at the doors.

      The spring is around.

      The spring is about.

      The spring is beside.

      The spring is on my mind.

      The spring is in my heart.

      The spring is ready to start!

      The nicest time

      What is the nicest time of the year?

      Is it the spring? What do you think?

      In the spring we still need

      Warm clothes to wear

      But actually we can’t wait to prink.

      Slush, mud, and water

      Loudly squish under feet.

      May this dirty period be shorter

      And again, we can meet,

      Walk, enjoy warm weather,

      Go on picnics, play in the yard,

      Have family get-together

      And sit by the fire with a joyful heart.

      The spring is waking up

      The spring is charming,

      The spring is bright.

      The sun is shining,

      Giving us its awakening light.

      Green sprouts are springing out of the ground,

      Buds are popping up,

      Birds are singing

      And we are enjoying this lovely sound.

      Just wait, just stop now for a bit

      And listen to it…

      The sap rises in the spring

      Meet this season

      Full of fresh air!

      It seems that this time

      Is a real start of the new year.

      It is the time when

      We all have new plans:

      We seem to wake up

      After long winter naps.

      We want to be active,

      Start a new project

      Or another thing.

      And there is a cause

      Why it happens —

      The sap rises in the spring.

      The spring is on my mind

      What is it?

      What is outside?

      It is spring!

      The spring is on my mind!

      And I just can’t help but sing

      When the spring is on my mind,

      When everything is perfect,

      Whatever comes into sight.

      Summer

      Summer is everywhere

      The sun is so bright,

      The sky is so blue.

      I’m happy all day long and night,

      Because it’s summer! Yoo-hoo!

      Salt in the air,

      Smiles all around,

      Sand in my hair,

      And summer wind sound —

      Everything tells us that

      The summer is here and there.
