I was safe on the lap of winter
I was alone, but happy
But my mind was weak and bored
Seeking for a shortcut to the sping
And I was such a fool that I asked for it
Love from those who helped me
In the middle of this long winter I ordered
Relief for my grayness
Yeah and I looked into the crystal ball
In there, I saw him coming
And when the year changed to another
I already found someone sleeping next to me
But soon, so very soon
Even a fool like me noticed it
This love was not for the winter
I took it in too early
I disrupted young love
When it still wanted to sleep
I pulled tulips of May from the frozen ground
And they wilted away in my hands
Oo-too early
Too early
I disrupted love
And it lost its power
(Oo) too early
(Oo) too early
I teased love
Maybe I lost it forever
And now I wait alone
For the next winter
Summer is [full of] sorrow and agony for me
I received it too early
If a power higher than me will bless me
And I'll get you back again
I'll wait until the Midsummer night
I'll wait for the next summer
The next summer
Always for the next summer
