[Verse 1]
Spring came far too early this year:
May flowers blooming in February
Should I be sad for the month
Or glad for the sky?
[Refrain]
The birds don't know which way to sing
And, my friend
Neither do I
[Verse 2]
Two days ago, a girl I truly thought I loved
Suddenly didn't seem to matter at all
Should I sing sad farewell
To things I'm really glad I've left behind?
[Refrain]
The birds don't know which way to sing
And, my friend
Neither do I
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
In another day, heavy frost will lie upon the ground
And buds prematurely bloomed shall fail;
And every creature living now
Then will surely die...
[Refrain]
The birds don't know which way to sing
And, my friend
Neithеr do I
[Outro]
The birds don't know if it's time yet to fly;
Thеy don't know which way to go
My friend
Neither do I
Neither do I
