It's useless if spring comes
There's so much winter in us
That March can go back
With all its cranes
In us there's room only for winter
We'll freeze under the last frost
Fumbling on icy stitches
Like two lonely persons
2. And from their hot homelands,
The cranes of the past autumn are coming
The nests died at their eaves
And you're not by my side
Changes worse than death
There were, there are and there will be
There's a snowstorm inside my soul
And crazy people come to ski
3. And it's snowing so badly
The snow enters in all my body
It's a dance of snowmen
That no longer can embrace
There's an everlasting winter in us
Two former unhappy lovers
Take back your blooming, spring
And all your immigrants cranes too
