The month of May

Exists so we can love

The beautiful flowers of nature

So we can dream of a richer future.

 

May is the month of love

Where the days and nights

Are the most beautiful

And the locusts are happy

In the green fields

Amid songs and chants.

 

This is the month of happiness

The season of all flowers

The awakening of youth

And the birth of tipsiness

On a jubilant spring.

 

It's all over again in Spring

The birds are singing

The children are dancing

And the bees are roaming

From live flowers

To sick cherry laurels

On a jubilant spring.

 

The stars twinkle

The waters of the river sparkle

And the moon lights up

The corners of the city.

 

The month of May

Exists so we can love.
