bondissent joyeux dans le ruisselet 
des flots écumeux: Ils veulent être 
les premières fleurs blanches du joyeux Printemps.

Весна пришла. Из трещин ледяной 
коры запрыгали, играя в речке 
пенные струи: они хотят быть 
первым белым цветом радостной весны.

les cerisiers épanouis fêtent 
enfin l'arrivée du Printemps.
