盼望着,盼望着,东风来了,春天的脚步近了。
Longing, longing — the east wind comes, spring's steps draw near.
小草偷偷地从土里钻出来,嫩嫩的,绿绿的。园子里,田野里,瞧去,一大片一大片满是的。
The grass slips secretly from the soil — tender, green; gardens and fields are covered with it.
桃树、杏树、梨树,你不让我,我不让你,都开满了花赶趟儿。
Peach, apricot, pear trees vie to flower — none yields the ground.
春天像刚落地的娃娃,从头到脚都是新的,它生长着。春天像小姑娘,花枝招展的,笑着走着。
Spring is a newborn child, all new, still growing; spring is a little girl, dressed in flowers, laughing as she walks.
