音乐咖啡厅:Marketa Irglova - Seasons Change

Open your door, come on outside,
It’s raining, but still, that’s no reason¹ to hide³.
Put on your coat, we can still play,
Or go for a walk, rain as² it may,
‘Cause if you love life⁴, it will keep you warm,
In all weather, even⁵ rain and storm⁶.

We learn that spring sends the winter away,
So when the summer comes ’round, we beg⁷ spring to stay, but
In all these years past, why didn’t we learn?
That we’d be better of pleading⁸ with whomever make the earth¹⁰ turn,
‘Cause seasons change, they go as quick as they came¹¹, and
It’s not their fault¹², if we choose to stay the same, and
Not grow at all, neither¹³ strong, nor¹⁴ tall.

But if you ever⁹ want to play a game with me,
To run around the woods, and climb the tallest tree,
To make ourselves¹⁵ a couple¹⁶ kites, and see them fly,
We can reach¹⁷ out to a cloud to try and touch the sky.
