The Younger Son

The winter has grown very old.

She is lonely and depressed. 

Only the younger son helps her,

The modest and timid young man,

Dressed in a unfashionable coat.

He is hopelessly in love with the lovely Spring. 

February, February, my sad boy!

Your destiny is unlucky:

Every year, when you go away

Nobody is sad or misses you, 

And nobody cries bitterly about you,

Nobody take your hand tenderly.
