Traditional Song

Traditional Song
(English)

Spring is coming, spring is coming,
Where is spring now?
(Refrain)
Here in the mountains,
Here in the village,
And here in the fields.

Flowers bloom, flowers bloom,
Where do flowers bloom?
Here in the mountains,
Here in the village,
And here in the fields.

Birds are singing, birds are singing,
Where do birdies sing?
Here in the mountains,
Here in the village,
And here in the fields.

Here's the computerized text: (we apologize if it doesn't display properly on your screen):

春が来た

春が来た　春が来た　どこに来た
山に来た　里に来た　野にも来た

花が咲く　花が咲く　どこに咲く
山に咲く　里に咲く　野にも咲く

鳥がなく　鳥がなく　どこでなく
山でなく　里でなく　野でもなく

Many thanks to the Japan Information and Culture Center, a part of the Embassy of Japan, for contributing "Spring has come", the Japanese lyrics, the English translation, the illustration and the sheet music. Thanks also to Petter Mæhlum for the transliteration.

I'm very grateful to Susan Pomerantz for playing this tune on piano.
