You will waken in the deep of night...
Woodland winds will summon you to roam
And the birch will wave at its full height,
Greeting swans and cranes returning home.

Meanwhile spring will strew the sky with stars,
Off will all the gates and fences blow.
Through the gaps in cracking snow-drift bars
Soon a blade of grass will peep and grow.

Spring advances, eager for a fight,
Flooding streams, announcing winter's fall.
You will waken in the deep of night...
Listen to your homeland's springtime call!
