when faces called flowers float out of the ground
当称作花朵的面容从大地浮起
and breathing is wishing and wishing is having—
而呼吸是希望而希望是拥有——
but keeping is downward and doubting and never
但保持却是下落是怀疑是永不
—it's april(yes,april;my darling)it's spring!
——这是四月(是呵,四月;亲爱的)是春天!
yes the pretty birds frolic as spry as can fly
是呵美丽的鸟儿飞得多么轻捷
yes the little fish gambol as glad as can be
是呵小巧的鱼儿嬉戏兴高采烈
(yes the mountains are dancing together)
(是呵山岭都在一起舞蹈)

when every leaf opens without any sound
当每片叶子轻轻打开无声无息
and wishing is having and having is giving—

but keeping is doting and nothing and nonsense
但保持却是昏庸是乌有是胡扯
—alive;we're alive,dear:it's(kiss me now)spring!

now the pretty birds hover so she and so he
瞧呵美丽的鸟儿高翔像她和他
now the little fish quiver so you and so i
瞧呵小巧的鱼儿战栗像你和我
(now the mountains are dancing, the mountains)
(瞧呵山岭在舞蹈,山岭)

when more than was lost has been found has been found
当失去的少找到的多找到的多
and having is giving and giving is living—
而拥有就是给予而给予就是生活——
but keeping is darkness and winter and cringing
但保持却是黑暗是冬天是皱缩
—it's spring(all our night becomes day)o, it's spring!
——是春天(我们的夜都成了白昼)呵,是春天!
all the pretty birds dive to the heart of the sky

all the little fish climb through the mind of the sea
