Lyrics translation:
Oh Spring
What have you done?
You came without flowers
Without fruits
Your end
Was like your beginning
Oh Spring
What have you done?
Summer came
Dressed in black clouds
With troubled days
White nights spent
Counting stars
Oh Spring
What have you done?
It is springtime and the weather is cool
Close all the subjects
No need to object
No need to lament
Nothing to worry about
It is springtime
