Cherry time
When we sing of cherry time
and the happy nightingale and the mockingbird
will all be celebrating,
pretty girls will have foolish ideas in their heads
and lovers [will have] dunchine in their hearts.
When we sing of cherry time
the mockingbird will whistle much better.
But it's very short, the cheery time,
when we go off, dreaming, to harvest
some ear-rings,
cherries of love dressed alike
falling through the leaves like drops of blood.
But it's very short, cherry time,
pendnts of pink coral which we harvest while dreaming.
When you are there at cherry time
if you're scared of heartaches
avoid the pretty girls.
I, who am not afraid of harsh treatment,
I won't live without suffering some day.
when you are there at cherry time
you will have heartache too.
I shall always like cherry time.
It from that time that I keep in my heart
an open wound;
and Mistress Fortune, being offered to me,
will never be able to end my pain.
I shall always like cherry time
and the memory I keep in my heart.
