Ещё в полях белеет снег
Language: Russian (Русский)
Ещё в полях белеет снег, А воды уж весной шумят -- Бегут и будят сонный брег, Бегут, и блещут, и гласят... Они гласят во все концы: «Весна идёт, весна идёт! Мы молодой весны гонцы, Она нас выслала вперёд. Весна идёт, весна [идёт,]1 И тихих, тёплых майских дней Румяный, светлый хоровод Толпится весело за [ней!...»]2

田畑はまだ雪の白さに覆われているが
Language: Japanese (日本語) after the Russian (Русский)
田畑はまだ雪の白さに覆われているが 水はすでに春を感じ 音を立てている 流れ、眠っている入江を目覚めさせる 流れ、輝き、声高に叫ぶ 水は全世界に告げる 「春が来る、春が来る! 私達は春の若い使者 春がまず私達を遣わせたのだ 春が来る、春が来る そして穏やかな、暖かい五月の日々が 頬を赤らめ、踊るように喜々として 列をなして春に続いてやって来る...!」
