 [bad word] 
I wander through the ghetto 
From lane to lane 
Useless, no solace I find. 
My beloved is gone 
How can I go on? 
Someone, oh say just a word! 
My house is aglow now 
The sky's like a blue dome 
But what is there left in my life? 
I stand like a beggar 
At each of these doorways 
And beg for a little bit of sun 

Refrain 
Springtime, please take my sorrow 
And bring my loved one, 
My dear one back to me. 
Springtime, upon your wings of blue 
Take my heart with you 
And bring love back to me 

I go to my work 
And pass by our small house 
In sadness, the door is closed tight 
The days is full of sunlight 
But flowers won't bloom now, 
They're wilting, for them too it's night 
At night when returning 
The sadness is burning 
Right here love, you waited for me 
Right here in the shadows 
I still hear your footsteps 
You kissed me so passionately 

Refrain 

Springtime is with us 
This year very early 
My longing for you is in bloom. 
I see you before me 
Adorned with spring flowers 
Smiling, you will greet me soon 
The sun's rays have lit up 
The garden with sunlight, 
Turning the hard earth to green. 
My dearest, my loved one 
Are you gone forever? 
I can't get you out of my mind.
