SONG FOR SPRING - Ralf Beitner with Rastrelli Cello Quartett

Not a single snowflake in the rain today

It seems this year the winter leaves without delay

Even trees and roofs are free from snow

and the frozen creek begins to flow

Sitting on the sofa in our living-room

Nothing on my mind but the songs I sing

Soon out in the garden the first flowers will bloom

Here is my song for spring

This is my song for spring

There's a little bird up in the maple tree

He's the one who knows the sweetest melodies

To the rhythm of the drizzling rain

he just sings it's time for spring again

Sitting on the sofa in our living-room

Nothing on my mind but the songs I sing

Waiting for the sunshine that will light up the gloom

Here is my song for spring

This is my song for spring

Spring is the season of life and living

Spring is renewing the earth

Spring is the time to let plants recover

Spring gives us hope for rebirth

Sitting on the sofa in our living-room

Nothing on my mind but the songs I sing

Life leads to somewhere, that's what I do assume

Here is my song for spring

This is my song for spring

Not a single snowflake in the rain today
