A short, but oh so sweet song by Mozart, about young children longing for spring to finally arrive. I really enjoyed learning this piece, the simplicity of the strophic nature carries so much character to play with!
Verses 1, 2 and 5
Come, dear May, and make
the trees green again,
and by the brook, let
the little violets bloom for me!
How I would love
to see a violet again -
ah, dear May, how gladly
I would take a walk!
It is true that winter days have
much joy as well:
one can trot in the snow
and play many games in the evening;
build little houses of cards,
play blind-man's-buff and forfeits;
also go tobogganing
in the lovely open countryside.
Ah, if only it would grow milder
and greener...
