Frische Kirschblüten
Blühen auf und fallen dann
Sie sind so mutig
Fresh cherry blossoms
How they bloom and how they fall
So utterly brave
Der alte Kirschbaum
Im Winter knarrte er nur
Sieh seine Blüten
The old cherry tree
All winter he only creaked
Look at his blossoms
Wenn die Kirschblüten
Im starken Regen fallen
Dann trennen sie sich
The cherry blossoms
When they fall in heavy rain
Sever forever
Das kleine Mädchen
Wie es im Kirschbaum
klettern
Teppich aus Blüten
The cute little girl
Climbing through the cherry tree
Carpet of blossoms
nice set; have a happy weekend
