O, how much light! I never thought
The sun would make them glow -
This never-ending wintry road,
This everlasting snow!
I stretched my hands out to the sun
As if it were a dream.
Another story has begun,
And this one won't be grim.
It's time we smiled and sang out loud
Just like we did before,
And though it's cold, there is no doubt
That spring will win the war.
Get ready! Soon the merry fight
Will burst into our street,
And all this world, so new, so wide,
Will wake, and shine, and tweet!
I do not know the time or date,
I only know one thing:
Our sunny days won't be delayed.
For you and me it's spring.
