The spring is just beginning,
We haven’t started singing
And yet, my soul is jumping from my chest, -
And then they came to pester
with escorts, with escorts
And told me, "hurry up, get dressed!"

Oh how I begged the sergeant to re-think:
"Don’t take me away from the spring!"

’Til May, with no progressio -
They asked for my confession,
But I was stubborn! Forty days they’ve tried.
When I expected least,
My Katharine was seized
And the detective gained more rights than I.

And then I understood that I would sink, -
Just through the window, let me see the spring!

And once again, it’s starting,
In train cars, we’re departing
And rail junctions measure what’s ahead.
And through the window, - green
Maples and birches gleam
And all of them are begging "Don’t forget!"

And from the hills, my friends still waved and winked
Why did I have to leave the precious spring!

In asking Kathy I was very prudent
We’re leaving? - We shouldn’t!
I’ve had it up to here! - I can’t abide!
And thus replied my Kathy:
"You’ve had it, you’ve had it", -
We ran away through tundra in the night!

How warm was her embrace, oh just to think! -
So this is what you’re like my lovely spring!

And only two days since
Those bitches sensed our prints, -
Like dogs, they sensed the path we’ve trod, -
Those bitches firmly tied
Our legs and arms so tigh -
Like carrion they dragged us through the mud.

No longer would I ever dream a thing!
I have completely lost beloved spring!
