Primăvara Spring
de Vasile Alecsandri by Vasile Alecsandri
A trecut iarna geroasă, It’s frosty winter which has passed,
Câmpul iată-l înverzit, And look, the field is green amain,
Rândunica cea voioasă The joyful swallow makes so fast
La noi iarăşi a venit. Its nice return to us again.
Dintr-o creangă-n alta zboară From one branch to another flies
Sturzul galben aurit, The jolly golden yellow thrush,
Salutare, primăvară, Salute, sweet spring, my voice cries,
Timp frumos, bine-ai venit! For you, nice time, welcome words gush!
Turturelele se-ngână, To murmur the turtle doves start,
Mii de fluturi vezi zburând Thousands of butterflies then fly
Şi pe harnica albină And the hardworking bee can dart
Din flori miere adunând. From flowers honey thus supply.
Cântă cucu-n dumbrăvioară And in the grove the cuckoo's whiz
Pe copacul înflorit, You hear on the flourished bush,
Salutare, primăvară, Salute, sweet spring, my voice cries,
Timp frumos, bine-ai venit! For you, nice time, welcome words gush!

Pentru tine, primăvară For you, spring
de Otilia Cazimir by Otilia Cazimir
Şiruri negre de cocoare, With lots of blackened flocks of cranes,
Ploi călduŝe şi uşoare, And also with mild and warm rains,
Fir de ghiocel plăpând, A snowdrop with its small frail strain,
Cântec îngânat în gând, A melody murmured in brain,
Sărbătoare… It's celebration…
Zumzet viu prin zarzări. Oare Apricot-trees with alive hum -
Cântă florile la soare? Singing flowers in the sun come
Că pe crengi de floare pline That on the branches full of bloom
Nu ştii: flori sunt, ori albine? Are flowers or bees and for whom?
Pentru cine?… You don’t know …
Pentru tine, primăvară, For you, dear season called spring,
Care-aduci belşug în ŝară, As in the country wealth you bring,
Care vii peste câmpii, And come over the plains, you know,
Cu bănuŝi de păpădii Pennies of dandelions show
Şi cu cântec de copii! And children song!

Sunt obrajii ei, They seem to be just its nice cheeks,
Val de argint ea are norii Its clouds from silver wave made
Albi si subŝirei. Are slim and of white colour laid.
Nalta, mandra, sta-n picioare It stands up tall and proud, too
In radvan domnesc… In lordly order shows to you ...
Gingas chip de fata are A gentle face of girl it has
Bratul voinicesc. And so heroic its arm was.
Viu struneste-n aer zana The fairy vividly rein
Roibi hraniti cu jar; The horses in the air's vein;
Cai de vant, scapati din mana With embers fed then on the land
Cruntului Ghenar. Escaped from January's rude hand.
Bubuind inainteaza Rumbling it forwards to the ridge
Pe un pod de nori, Just on a full of clouds bridge,

Strajuit de flori… Flowers surrounding a bright ray …

Se vuoi sentir cantare la primavera, If you want to hear singing the Spring,

in mezzo al prato, sotto il cielo aperto. Amidst the meadow,under the open sky.
Se primavera vuoi sentir cantare, If Spring you want to hear singing
ad occhi chiusi resta ad ascoltare. stay to listen with closed eyes.

di Antonia Pozzi by Antonia Pozzi
Batte la luna soavemente Beating the moon softly
Di là dai vetri outside the window

come una grande primula anch’essa like a big primrose too
stupita astonished
sola alone
nel prato azzurro del cielo. In the blue meadow of the sky.

Prośba do słoneczka
Bożena Forma
Malutka głñwka krokusa
nad śniegiem się pojawiła.
To znaczy, że już wkrñtce
przybędzie wiosna miła.
Słoneczko nasze kochane,
bardzo cię prosimy.
Ogrzewaj mocno ziemię,
zacieraj ślady zimy.
Pod śniegiem mocno bije
pani przyrody serce.
Słoneczko wyślij promienie,
daj ciepła jak najwięcej.
Urośnie młoda trawa,
rozwiną się pąki na drzewach.
Dla ciebie miłe słoneczko
każdy ptaszek zaśpiewa.
Petition to the sun
by Bożena Forma
A tiny head of crocus
Appears above the snow
It means that pleasant spring
Soon will be here, I know
Our dearest sun
We ask you very strong
Heat the land intensely
Make winter traces exist not long
The heart of nature beat strongly
Under the snowy cover
The kind sun, send us your beams
And give much heat moreover
Young grass will shoot up shortly
And buds on the trees will bloom (run)
And every bird will sing
For you dearest sun

Wiosna idzie
W. Rusiecka
Wiosna idzie, co to będzie?
Jeszcze tyle śniegu wszędzie.
I na dachu i na płotku,
w polu, w lesie i w ogrñdku.
Wiosna idzie nie ma strachu!
Zaraz zniknie śnieżek z dachu.
Już na pola i na łąki
lecą gońce jej, skowronki.
Lecą do nas wiosny gońce,
ciepły wietrzyk, ptaki, słońce!
Spring is coming
by W. Rusiecka
What would it be?, spring will go
But everywhere is so much snow
On the roof and on the fence
On the field in wood and garden
Spring is coming, there’s no fear
From the roof snow will disappear
On the fields and on the meadows
Larks are flying – the spring’s runners
The runners of spring are flying to us
And also warm wind, and birds, and sun

O wiośnie

Dalej, dalej do ogrñdka dzieci
Już nas wiosna wita

Patrzcie, patrzcie wkoło
Zielenią się drzewa
Ślicznie rosną kwiatki
Dźwięcznie ptaszek śpiewa
Dla każdego dziecka
Czerwcowa pogoda
Poziomka pachnąca
Wiąże dziś dziewczynkom
Kokardy ze słońca
Chłopcom złote żagle
Rozpina na chmurze
Zaprasza w dalekie
Podniebne podrñże
I biegnie z bukietem
Przez ogromny świat
Dla każdego dziecka
Niesie jeden kwiat
About the spring
by Ewa Zawadzka
Children, let’s rush to the garden
Spring is greeting us
By the sun which shine so bright
Look, look around
Trees become so green
Beautiful flowers grow
Bird is singing a song
Weather in June

It ties sunny bows
For each little girl.
For boys it sets golden sails
between the clouds
Spring invite them
for a voyage through the sky
It run with bunch of flowers
Through the huge, amazing world
Carries a single flower
for every little child.

Povestea unui ciobănaş A Nice Little Shepherd’s Story
Am să vă spun, copii, povestea I will tell you, kids, don't worry
Unui ciobănaş, a unui ciobănaş. A nice little shepherd’s story.
În fiecare zi mergea cu turma pe imaş, Daily on pasture with his herd,
Printre oiŝe, mieluşei, drăguŝul ciobănaş. Went among ewes, lambs, cute
shepherd.
Voios, pe câmpul înflorit, cânta din fluieraş, On the blossomed field whistled
glad
Şi-i răspundea din lan de fân, cri, cri un greieraş. In the hayfield cricket's song had.
Dar cum mergea cântând voios pe crângul înverzit, Carring his song in fields with joy,
Un piŝigoi din vârf de pom, aşa i-a ciripit. A titmouse squeal heard the boy.
Cirip, cirip, ascultă-aici, cirip, băiatule. Chirp, chirp, listen boy, chirp here.
Stă lupu-ascuns într-un tufiş, păzeşte-ŝi oile. Wolf is in bush, keep sheep near.
Am să mă duc îndată eu, am să mă duc în zbor, I will go soon, I'll go in flight,
Să chem aici cu puşca lui, pe mândrul vânător. The proud hunter kills the blight.
Şi vânătorul iscusit, îndată a venit, For skillful hunter was a bit
El, lupu-ascuns într-un tufiş, pe loc l-a nimerit. The hidden wolf fast he could hit.
V-am spus acum, copii, povestea unui ciobănaş. I told you shepherd’s story, kids.
Cânta şi el, dar nu ca voi, cânta din fluieraş. For playing just a whistler needs.

Lacul The Lake
de Mihai Eminescu by Mihai Eminescu
Lacul codrilor albastru Amid the forest the blue lake
Nuferi galbeni îl încarcă, Yellow lilies started to take,
Tresărind în cercuri albe By wincing in circles so white
El cutremură o barcă. He shakes a boat like a mite.
Si eu trec de-a lung de maluri, And I’m passing along the banks,
Parc-ascult şi parc-aştept Listening and waiting stay in ranks
Ea din trestii sã răsară That from the reeds she starts to crest
Si sã-mi cadă lin pe piept; And gently to fall on my breast.
Sã sărim în luntrea mică, In the small boat then we jump,
Ingânaŝi de glas de ape, Rocked by the waters' voices bump,
Si sã scap din mână cârma And let the helm out of hand
Si lopeŝile sã-mi scape; And the oars go towards the sand.
Sã plutim cuprinşi de farmec Let’s float comprised of charm soon
Sub lumina blândei lune - Under the light of gentle moon -
Vântu-n trestii lin foşnească, In the reeds slow is wind’s rustle,
Undoioasa apă sune! The waved water shows its bustle.
Dar nu vine... Singuratic She doesn't come ... but I don’t why
In zadar suspin şi sufăr And suffering in vain I sigh
Lângă lacul cel albastru So closed to the blue lake indeed
Incărcat cu flori de nufăr. With nice lily flowers loaded.

De la bloc îl vede tatăl He from the block of flats is seen
Şi îi strigă, supărat: By his dad who sad calls I mean:
- Ce aştepŝi, afară plouă, - What are you waiting, please come soon,
Vin-acasă, imediat! It's raining in this afternoon!

Kardeş kavgasına bir nihayet olsun.
Memleket isterim

I want a country
Let the sky be blue, the bough green, the

Let it be a land of birds and flowers
I want a country
Let there be no pain in the head, no yearning in
the heart
Let there be an end to brothers' quarrels
I want a country
Let there be no rich and poor, no you and me
On winter days let everyone have hose and

I want a country
Let living be like loving from the heart
If there must be complaint, let it be of death

Işıldayan karı severim
Bir yeşil yaprak
Bir telli böcek
Yeşeren tohum
Güneşte görsem
Sevinç doldurur içime
Bir günü
Güzel bir günü
Güneşli bir günü
Hiç bir şeye değişmem
Onun için savaşı sevmem
Onun için zulmü sevmem
Onun için yalanı sevmem
Bilirim yaşamaz güneşte
Bilirim yaşamaz yanyana aşkla
Ne haksızlık
Ne korku
Ne açlık
Crazy for the sun
I love flowing water
I love sparkling snow
If I see under the sun
A grean leaf
A small insect
A seed turning green
It fills me with joy
I won't exchange a day
A beautiful day
A suny day
For anything
That's why I don't like wars
That's why I don't like cruelty
That's why I don't like lies
I know, neither injustice
Nor fear
Nor hunger
Can live under the sun
I know, they can't live side by side with
love

Estate Summer
di Salvatore Quasimodo by Salvatore Quasimodo
Cicale, sorelle, nel sole Balm crickets, sisters,in the sun
con voi mi nascondo with you I hide
nel folto dei pioppi in the thickness of the poplars
e aspetto le stelle. And I wait for the stars.
Translated by Gaia class 2B

D’Estate In Summer
di G,Pascoli by G. Pascoli
Le cavallette sole The grasshoppers alone
Sorridono in mezzo alla gramigna gialla. Smile in the midst of the yellow weed.
I moscerini danzano al sole The midges dance in the sun
Trema uno stelo sotto una farfalla tremble a stem under a butterfly
Translated by Rebecca 2B

Calda Estate tutta d'oro, Warm Summer all gold
che cos'hai nel tuo tesoro? What have you got in your treasure?
Pesche, fragole, susine, Peaches, strawberries, plums
spighe, e spighe senza fine, wheat, and wheat endless
prati verdi e biondi fieni, green meadows and blonde hays

Domenica D’agosto Sunday in August
di Migliacci by Migliacci
Domenica d'agosto, che caldo fa! Sunday in August, how hot it is!
La spiaggia è un girarrosto, non servirà The beach is burning, it won’t help
bere una bibita se in fondo all'anima to have a drink if I’m dreaming
sogno l'oceano. Splash! the ocean.Splash!
Ondeggiano le palme da dattero, The date palm trees are waving
in cielo un volo di fenicotteri. In the sky the flamingos fly.
Sopra lo scoglio c'è una ragazza che On the cliff there’s a girl that
ride e si tuffa giù. Splash! laughs and dives down. Splash!
Vieni qui, lei mi fa, tulla tullalla. Come here, she says,tulla tullalla
Vieni qui, se ti va, tulla tullalla. Come here,if you want, tulla tullalla
Qui da me troverai, tulla tullalla, Here you’ll find,tulla tullalla
L’oceano blu. Splash The blue ocean. Splash!
Domenica d'agosto, che sera blu! Sunday in August,what blue night!
In cielo c'è una stella che guarda giù. In the sky there’s a star that look down.
Prendo la moto e vengo a cercare te, I come to look for you
ma non ti trovo più. Splash! but I can’t find you, any more. Splash!

Spiagge Beaches
Spiagge, immense ed assolate, Beaches, immense and sunny,
Spiagge già vissute, Beaches already lived
In questa azzurrità, fra le conchiglie In this blue, between the shells
e il sale, and the salt,
Quanta la gente che, ci ha già lasciato How many people, has already left
il cuore. the heart .
Beaches Spiagge
Di attimi rubati, of stolen moments
Mentre la pelle brucia While the skin burns,
Un'altra vela va, fino a Another boat goes sailing,
che non scompare, until it disappear,
Quanti segreti che, How many secrets that,
appartengono al mare. belong to the sea.
Spiagge, Beaches
Di cocco e di granite, Coconut and granite,
Di stranieri e di bagnini, Foreigners and lifeguards
Quel disco nel juke box, That music in the juke box
Suona la tua canzone, play your song,
Per la tua storia che, For your story
Nasce sotto l'ombrellone. Born under the umbrella.

Azzurro Blue
Cerco l'estate tutto l'anno I'm searching the summer all year
e all'improvviso eccola qua. And suddenly it is here
Lei è partita per le spiagge She left to the sea
e sono solo quassù in città, and I’m alone in the city
sento fischiare sopra i tetti I hear whistling over the roofs
un aeroplano che se ne va. a plane is taking off.
Azzurro, Blue
il pomeriggio è troppo azzurro the afternoon is too blue
e lungo per me. And long for me
Mi accorgo I realize
di non avere più risorse, to have no opportunities
senza di te, without you
e allora and so
io quasi quasi prendo il treno almost I take a train
e vengo, vengo da te, and I’m coming to you
ma il treno dei desideri but the train of my thoughts
nei miei pensieri all'incontrario va. is going for other ways.
Azzurro, Blue
il pomeriggio è troppo azzurro the afternoon is too blue
e lungo per me… And long for me…

Strofy o późnym lecie
Julian Tuwim
Zobacz, ile jesieni!
Pełno jak w cebrze wina,
A to dopiero początek,
Dopiero się zaczyna.
Nazłociło się liści,
Że koszami wynosić,
A trawa, jaka bujna,
Aż się prosi, by kosić.
Lato w butelki rozlane,
Na pñłkach słodem się burzy.
Zaraz korki wysadzi,
Już nie wytrzyma dłużej.
Late in summer
by Julian Tuwim
Look the world’s filled up with the autumn
As a glass full of wine
But it’s only the beginning
And with me that’s fine
Leaves that shine like gold,
There are plenty of them
You can roll around in the grass
To move it, here I am
The bottles poured with the summer
It floods everything around
It’s going to explode in a moment
And it’ll take control of a ground

Letnia ulewa
Jrena Suchorzewska
Przed chwilą słońce.
Nagle ... ulewa!
Bije o ziemię,
bije o drzewa,
na szybach dzwoni
i w rynnach śpiewa,
w kałużach pluszcze
letnia ulewa.
I znowu cicho.
Znowu pogoda.
W całym ogrodzie
kałuże, woda...
Po ścieżkach płyną
srebrne strumyki...
Prędko! Zbierajmy
leśne kamyki,
port budujmy,
gdzie płytkie morze.
Tamy stawiajmy
w ciepłym jeziorze.
Puszczajmy łodzie

A Summer Downpour
by Irena Suchorzewska
Before a moment of sunlight.
Suddenly ... a downpour!
It beats against the ground,
It beats against the trees,
it rings off the glass
and sings in the gutters,
in puddles it splashes
a summer downpour.
And again, it is quiet.
Again beautiful weather.
Throughout the garden
puddles, water ...
On the paths flow
Silver streams ...
Hurry! Let us collect
the forest pebbles,
let us build the port,
where a shallow sea lies.
Let us build dams
in a warm lake.
Let us sail boats
Made from pear tree leaves
Before the earth is again
Dried up by the sun…

Never be enough.

Vasara
Es piederu vasarai,

Kas iepūš man sejā tik mīlīgu dvesmu.
Es piederu ziediem un nopļautai zālei,
Kas pāri par visu ceļ sapņainus tiltus-
Tik spilgtus,tik siltus.
Es piederu vasarai, ķirsim pie koka,
Kas saldu jo saldu skūpstu man sniedz.
Es piederu, vasara,

Summer
I belong to the summer
To the scent of grass
To the wind-scapegrace
Which blows into my face.
I belong to the summer
Where whiff of fresh cut grass
Comes from, so bright, so warm.
I belong to the summer,
To cherries on a tree
Which give me the sweetest kiss.
To the summer I belong
With my open mind for so long

Bate vântul frunzele The Wind Is Blowing the Leaves
Bate vântul frunzele, The wind is blowing now the leaves,
Se învârt moriştile, And we hear the spinning mills,
Rândunica aşa zboară, The swallows' flights for us joy bring,
Iar eu trag zmeul cu sfoară. And I pull the kite with a string.

Dar înfiptă, va să zică, So stealthily, clever, you say,

De pe vişinul uscat, From the old dry cherry-tree.
Pe picioare, pentru căci Reached on my feet because it thought
Mi le-a luat drept nişte crăci. There are the small branches it sought.
Mărunŝica de făptură The small creature came to south
Duse, harnică, la gură Hardworking, put in its mouth
O fărâmă de ceva A bit of something good for eat
Care-acasă trebuia So necessary, a nice feat
Aşezat în magazie Placed in warehouse where adds some
Pentru iarna ce-o să vie. For the new winter which will come.
Unde mergi aşa de grabă? Where are you going so quickly?
Gândul meu mâhnit o-ntreabă, My sad thought asks it so kindly.
Încă nu te-ai lămurit And are you clear, yes or no
Că greşeşti şi-ai rătăcit? You are wrong and you are lost so?

Ieri vedeam pe luncă flori… Yesterday I saw around
Mândri fluturi zburători, Flower meadow and so proud
Şi vedeam zburând albine. The butterflies, bees on the dell
Ieri era şi cald şi bine. As yesterday was warm and well.
Azi e frig şi nori şi vânt, Today is cold and clouds, wind,
Frunzele cad la pământ, Fall to the ground leaves in bind,
Florile stau supărate, And flowers are angry by far,
Veştejesc de brumă toate. Withered by frost all of them are.
Ieri era frumos pe-afară And on the outside yesterday
Ca-ntr-o caldă zi de vară. Was nice like in a summer day.

Vreme rea şi bate vant. It’s wind and weather is just worse.

Pasare de aur, toamna As a golden bird, the autumn
Trece-n zbor neauzit, Passes in unheard flight rhythm,
Iar in cinstea ei, in arbori, And in its honor, in the trees,
Fructele s-au rumenit. All fruits were brown by a breeze.
Merii picotesc sub raze The apples are nodding in rays
Si iti vine sa alergi You feel you're running in these days
Printre pomi, descult, prin ierburi Among the trees and herbs, barefoot
Moi, ca peste calde cergi. Soft, as above some warm rugs put.
Minunata esti livada, How wonderful, you, orchard, are,
Colt din basmul luminos A bright tale corner by far.

Cu voinicul Fat-Frumos. With the famous brave Prince Charming.

Eu singur cânt cu voce obosită I’ve tired voice but I sing
Şi trec prin încăperile-i deşarte... Through empty rooms I start to ping …

Autunno Autumn
di Roberto Piumini by Roberto Piumini
Quando la terra When the land
comincia a dormire starts sleeping
sotto una coperta under a blanket
di foglie leggere, of light leaves,
quando gli uccelli when the birds
non cantano niente. don’t sing anything.
Quando di ombrelli When of umbrellas
fiorisce la gente, flourish the people,
quando si sente when we hear
tossire qualcuno, to cough someone,
quando un bambino when a child
diventa un alunno. becomes a pupil.
Ecco l’autunno! Here is the Autumn!

Autunno–Il Fungo Autumn- The Mushroom
di M.Moretti by M.Moretti
Il cielo ride un suo riso turchino The sky laughs its turquoise laugh
benché senta l'inverno ormai vicino. although it feels the winter now close.
Il bosco scherza con le foglie gialle The woods jokes with yellow leaves
benché l'inverno senta ormai alle spalle. although it feels the winter behind.
Ciancia il ruscel col rispecchiato cielo, Prattle the stream with the reflected sky
benché senta nell'onda il primo gelo. although it feels in the wave the first frost.
é sorto a piè di un pioppo It arose at the foot of a bony and log
ossuto e lungo poplar
un fiore strano, un fiore a ombrello, a strange flower like an umbrella,
un fungo a mushroom.
Translated by Lucrezia & Eleonora

Foglie gialle Yellow leaves
di Trilussa by Trilussa
Ma dove ve ne andate But where are you going
povere foglie gialle poor yellow leaves
come farfalle like softly
spensierate? butterflies?
Venite da lontano o da vicino Are you caming from afar or near
da un bosco o da un giardino? from a wood or a garden?
E non sentite la malinconia and don’t you feel the melancholy
del vento stesso che vi porta via? of the wind itself that carries you away?

che il vento raccoglie that the wind collects

Autunno Autumn
Un'oca che guazza nel fango, A Goose that wallows in the mud,
Un cane che abbaia a comando a dog barking on command,
La pioggia che cade e non cade the rain that falls and doesn’t fall
Le nebbie striscianti che svelano e velano strade… mists crawling reveal and veil streets ...
Profilo degli alberi secchi, Profile of dead trees
spezzarsi scrosciante di stecchi, thunderous crack of sticks
sul monte, ogni tanto, gli spari on the mountains,sometimes, the shots
e cadono urlando di morte gli animali ignari and fall screaming to death innocent
animals,
L'autunno ti fa sonnolento, Autumn makes you sleepy,
la luce del giorno è un momento the light of the day is a time
che irrompe e veloce è svanita: that breaks into fast and is gone:
metafora lucida di quello che è la nostra vita... lucid metaphor of what is our life ...
Odori di fumo e foschia, Smells of smoke and haze
fanghiglia di periferia, mud in the suburbs,
distese di foglia marcita expanses of rotted leaf
che cade in silenzio lasciando per sempre la vita… falling silently leaving the life forever

El otoño.
El viento, aburrido,
saliñ a jugar en el bosque.
Acaricia los árboles
les hace cosquillas
y después,
se esconde.
Ahora en zigzag,
luego arriba y abajo…
y los árboles contentos
se cimbrean a los lados,
para agradecerle al viento
sus abrazos.
Con las hojas que han caído,
juega también.
Las levanta y zarandea,
las amontona y extiende
formando una alfombra en ocre,
a sus pies…
es otoðo, y todo vale.
Al compás del viento,
bailan los árboles,
y las hojas de colores tapizan el campo
o se divierten,
flotando en el aire.
Translated by Marta Martín Díaz
The autumn
The wind, boring,
Went out to play in the forest.
Caresses the trees
Make them tickles
And after,
It hides.
Now in zigzag,
Then up and down…
And the happy trees
Sway to the sides themselves,
To thank enough the wind
Its hugs.
With the fallen leaves,
It plays too.
It ups and shakes them
It piles and extends them
Forming an ocher carpet
At its feet….
It is autumn, and everything goes
With the beat of the wind,
The trees dance,
And coloring leaves cover the field
Or they enjoy,
Floating in the air

Dadzą chwilę radosną
twą szarość życia mogą odmienić.
Wieczñr szybciej nastaje
słońce też znika wcześniej niż latem
Lecz nowe czy nie daje
chwile spokoju skorzystaj zatem.
Fall in Love with Autumn
By Tadeusz Karasiewicz
Try to fall in love with autumn
with incredible charms
Look at how many beautiful
new days it grants you.
Colorful as the spring
Colorful leaves are the remnants of the final
greens
They give a joyful moment
the gray of your life they can change.
The evening sets in faster
Also, the sun disappears earlier than in the
summer
But it does not give you new ones
therefore use the moments of peace.

Jesienny wiatr
Hanna Ożogowska
Wiatr jesienią ma robotę
w nocy i za dnia.
Ciągle strąca liście złote
i przed siebie gna.
I nasiona drzew bez liku
nosi tu i tam.
Kiedy spoczniesz już, wietrzyku?
Powiedz, powiedz nam!
Po zielonym wielkim lesie
wiatr piosenki dzieci niesie.
Aż się dziwią stare drzewa
Kto was tak nauczył śpiewać?
Autumn Wind
by Hanna Ożogowska
Wind is busy in the autumn
Day as well as night
He likes golden leaves at bottom
And it flies like a kite
It has stolen seeds from trees
Then it lost them here and there
It’s high time to stop it sees
Stop my dear as we are scare!
Tell us our little kids
Ask the trees with open lids
Why the forest huge and green
Such a thing has never seen.

Săniuţa fuge The Little Sledge
Here’s Running
Săniuŝa fuge The little sledge here’s running
Nimeni n-o ajunge And nobody is forerunning
Are dor de ducă The wanderlust is his host
Parc-ar fi nălucă. It seems to be just a ghost.
Refren: Refrain:
Toata ziua prin zăpadă And all day long it' s through the snow
Vine lumea să o vadă Everybody enjoys that show
Săniuţa e uşoară The little sledge is too easy
Fuge parcă zboară. To fly it seems to be busy.
Are tălpi lucioase It has glossy soles by far
Vârfurile întoarse And so returned the sledge peaks are
Pod de scândurele Like a true bridge made of small boards
Să tot stai pe ele. You stay on them like on some hoards.
Peste hopuri sare It dives vividly over bumps
Ca pe zmeu călare Like on a huge dragon it jumps
Hăŝul dă să scape The rein is ready to escape
Trânta e aproape. The fight is close, it's not a jape.

A venit iarna drăguţă With Its Beauty Winter Has Come
Neaua peste tot s-a pus Everywhere snowflakes have hum
A venit iarna drăguŝa With its beauty winter has come
Hai copii pe deal în sus Let’s go, kids, up to the hill's edge
Să ne dăm cu săniuŝa. Slipping down by lovely sledge.
Hai copii pe deal în sus Let’s go, kids, up to the hill's edge
Să ne dăm cu săniuŝa. Slipping down by lovely sledge.
Câte unul, câte doi, Then one by one, and two by two,
Ne suim în sănioară, Go up the sledge is next to do
Fără cai şi fără boi, No horses, oxen, way is done
Săniuŝa fuge zboară The little sledge can flu and run.
Fără cai şi fără boi, No horses, oxen, way is done
Săniuŝa fuge zboară The little sledge can flu and run.
Ninge, ninge încetişor, It's snowing, so softly snowing,
Cade câte-un fulguşor One by one snowflakes are falling
Iar la geam iarna isteaŝă And at window clever winter
Pune mândre flori de gheaŝă. Of ice flowers becomes printer.

Iarna Winter
de Nicolae Labiş by Nicolae Labiş
Totu-i alb în jur cât vezi All is white on the long road
Noi podoabe pomii-ncarcă New ornaments the trees load
Şi vibrează sub zăpezi And under snow start to vibrate
Satele-adormite parcă. The villages which sleep, don't prate.
Doamna Iarna-n goană trece Lady Winter quickly passes
În caleşti de vijelii - In carriages of storms it is -
Se turtesc de gemul rece Flatten by the cold window
Nasuri cârne şi hazlii. The snub and funny noses glow
Prin odăi miroase-a pâine, Into the rooms a smell of bread,
A fum cald şi amărui A hot and bitter smoke can spread
Zgreapŝănă la uşă-un câine And a dog at the door scratches
Să-şi primească partea lui … To get its share in batches…
Tata iese să mai pună Dad goes out to put longer
Apă şi nutreŝ la vacă; For the cow water and fodder;
Vine nins c-un fel de brumă He comes snowed by a sort of rime
Şi-n mustăŝi cu promoroacă. And frosted whiskers in this time.
Iar bunicul desfăşoară And grandfather carried out
Basme pline de urgie, Tales full of bane, no doubt.
Basme care te-nfioară Some tales which can shudder you
Despre vremuri de-odinioară, On times-once you have listened to
Vremi ce-n veci n-au să mai fie. On times which this never will do.

Iepurele The Rabbit
de George Topârceanu by George Topârceanu
Vine iarna de la munte, The winter from the mountains comes,
Peste ape face punte Over water a bridge becomes
Şi pe câmp fără hotar And in a big boundless field
Parcă presură zahar. Sprinkling sugar seems to have yield.
Dintr-un codru, din tufiş, From the small bush of a big wood
Iese-un iepure furiş Comes out in a sudden mood
Şi cum scapă pe cărare... A sly rabbit runnung to path
Fuge ca o arătare... Like a strange ghost on a lath ...
Flinta face bum! iar moşu The gun makes boom, it doesn't cose
Stă şi-şi freacă nasu roşu, Often rubbing his red nose
Şi-nciudat luleaua-şi muşcă; An old man bites sad his pipe
Iepurele fuge puşcă. It's from the rabbit's run a stripe.
Ei, ce faci tu, moşulică, Hey, old man, what do you do,
Că n-ai împuşcat nimică? Please give me now a little clue?
Du-te-acasă binişor, As you shot nothing on the grove,
Că-i mai bine pe cuptor! Return, that's better on the stove!

Vis de iarnă Winter Dream
de Violeta Mihăeş by Violeta Mihăeş
Şi-a zburlit mustaŝa gerul The frost has ruffled its mustache,
De-a întunecat tot cerul. The dark sky seems to be an ash;
Ŝese iarna şugubeaŝă, The shaggy winter starts to weave
Păpădiile de gheaŝă. Dandelions of ice which heave.
Peste case şi coline Over the houses and the hills
Viforul năprasnic vine. A terrible storm comes and fills.
Mătură tot pe cărare, It sweeps all in its hurry way,
Fără pic de îndurare. Without some mercy or pay.
Cuibăresc pe la ferestre And nestled on the windows are
Visele fără poveste The dreams with no story which mar,
Şi-i aşteaptă pe copii Waiting children, girls or boys
În casă cu jucării. In the house with nice toys,
Să întindă peste zare Over the horizon to lie
Curcubee călătoare Travelling rainbows in the sky,
Cu zăvoare de lumină, And waiting with latches of light
Primavara ca sa vină. As spring to come, merry and dight.

Moş Crăciun Santa Claus
Ce se întâmplă când de sărbatori s-adună nouri When’s holiday clouds it sifts
De obicei ar trebui să plouă cu cadouri Should usually to rain with gifts
Să ne gândim numai la ce poate fi mai bun Let’s think about a good cause
Şi să-l asteptam pe Mos Craciun. Besides, let’s wait for Santa Claus.
Să vină cât mai repede, să ne umple coşul Coming soon, the basket to fill
Sst! ...bate cineva la uşă, ăsta cred că-i Moşul. Shh! Santa’s knocking at door sill
Muzica răsună, Moş Crăciun de veacuri For ages, music resounding
Ştie să ne lecuiasca sufletul şi fără leacuri. Our soul curing, healing.
Ridicaŝi paharele cu sucuri, să golim vasul, Vessel’s empty, raise juice glasses,
Moşul dacă bea ceva, copii-i îngheaŝă nasul. If drinks, Santa’s nose freezes.
Muzica răsună, masa-i plină, totul-i de calibru Tonight balance’s most wanted.
Cel mai căutat în seara asta este echilibrul. Music, table are completed.
Vorbesc părinŝii ce aud şi ei de la părinŝi Parents speak from theirs hear
Că Moşul vine numai la copiii cei mai cuminŝi; For the best kids Santa's near.
Ce mai contează cum am fost, de-mi aduc aminte What does it matter, so what does
Dacă Moşul e aici, înseamnă că am fost cuminte. If Santa's here, good I was.
Dar pentru asta, Moşule, am o rugaminte But Santa, I have a request
Ştii că inima de fată sigur, sigur nu te minte No lie, my girl heart is the best
As vrea, dacă se poate, asta e ultima dorinŝă If possible, last wish I'd like
Adu-mi-l înapoi te rog, de poŝi, pe Ghiŝă. Bring back my Ghiŝă dog from hike.

Kar
Çok soğuk...
Bugün kar var dışarda,
Buz gibi bir hava, parmaklarım donmus uyandığımda
Baktım bembeyaz bir örtü kaplamış tüm acıların üstünü
Gülümsedim, penceremin demirlerine konmuş küçük bir serçeye
Bir şeyler söylemek ister gibi baktı bana
Sanki, üsüme, bu kıs geçer bahar gelir diyordu
Hangi mevsim seni bana getirir ki? Hangi bahar? Hangi kış?
Mevsimleri saymaktansa hep bir ümitle,
Bırak, her zaman kar yağsın acılarımın üstüne
Snow
It's very cold...
There's snow outside today,
Ice cold weather, my fingers are frozen when I woke up
I saw that a pure white cover has covered all the pains
I smiled to a little sparrow that perched on my window's bars
It looked at me as if wanting to say something
Like saying, don't be cold, this winter ends and spring comes
But which season brings you to me? Which spring? Which winter?
Instead of counting the seasons with an endless hope
Leave it, let snow fall on my pain always.
Cenk

İşte yine kış geldi
Her yer, ayaz kesiyor.
Aman dikkat çocuklar,
Rüzgâr yaman esiyor.
Mevsimler
Soğukta üşümeyin,
Kalın giysiler giyin.
Biraz da tatlı yiyin,
Mevsim kıştır çocuklar!
Kıştan sonra ilkbahar.
Her taraf çiçek kokar.
Sizin bayramınız var.
Nisan hoştur çocuklar.
Güneş gökte bir ateş,
Meyveler olgunlaşır.
Yaz tatili gelince,
Sınıflar tenhalaşır.
Sonbahar geldiğinde,
Tören yapar çocuklar.
Okullar cıvıl cıvıl,
Dersleriniz de başlar.
Tembel tembel gezmek yok!
Okuyalım, yazalım.
Karnelerin üstüne,
Pekiyiler dizelim.

Neve Snow
di Umberto Saba by Umberto Saba
Neve che turbini in alto e avvolgi Snow that swirl high and cover
le cose di un tacito manto. the things with a silent mantle.
Neve che cadi dall’alto e noi copri Snow that fall from the top and cover us
coprici ancora, all’infinito: imbianca cover us again and again: whitening
la città con le case,con le chiese, the city with homes, with churches,
il porto con le navi, the harbour with ships,
le distese dei prati… the expanses of meadows …
translated by Giulia 3A

Fior di neve Flower of snow
di Umberto Saba by Umberto Saba
Dal cielo tutti gli Angeli From the sky all the Angels
videro i campi brulli saw the bare fields
senza fronde né fiori without leaves and flowers
e lessero nel cuore dei fanciulli and read in the children’s heart
che amano le cose bianche. that they love white things.
Scossero le ali stanche di volare They shook up the wings tired to fly
e allora discese lieve lieve and then softly sotly came down
la fiorita neve the flowery snow

Il gatto inverno The cat winter
di Gianni Rodari by Gianni Rodari
Ai vetri della scuola stamattina At the windows of the school this morning
l'inverno strofina Winter rubs
la sua schiena nuvolosa his cloudy back
come un vecchio gatto grigio: like an old grey cat:
con la nebbia fa i giochi di prestigio, with the fog it makes magic tricks,
le case fa sparire houses makes it disappear
e ricomparire; and reappear;
con le zampe imbianca il suolo whitening the ground with its paws
e per coda ha un ghiacciolo and has a popsicle as a tail
Sì, signora maestra, Yes, miss teacher,
mi sono un po' distratto I am a bit 'distracted
ma per forza, con quel gatto, but by force! with the cat,
con l'inverno alla finestra with the winter at the window
che mi ruba i pensieri that steals my thoughts
e se li porta in slitta takes them in sleigh
per allegri sentieri for happy trails
Invano io li richiamo: In vain I will recall them:
si saranno impigliati in qualche ramo They will be caught in some bare
spoglio ; branches;
e per dolce imbrogliochiotti, chiotti, and for sweet cheat
fingon d'esser merli e passerotti. they pretend to be blackbirds and sparrows.

Estamos en invierno
Con la nariz colorada
y bufanda de colores,
paseo por la calle,
dando tiritones.
El sol está escondido
y el viento silbando
froto y froto mis manos
que se están helando.
Los bichitos del barrio
hoy no han salido
y en todas las casas
hay braseros encendidos.
¿Que es lo que ocurre?
Pregunto a mamá.
Pues que el invierno
ha llegado ya.
We are in winter
With my red nose
And a colouring scarf
I walk by the street
Giving shivers.
The sun is hidden
And the wind whistling
I rub and rub my hands
Which are frozen
The bugs of the street
Are not out today
And in every houses
There are fired brazier
What is happening?
I asked to my mum
Well the winter
has just arrived

„Zła Zima”
Maria Konopnicka
Hu! Hu! Ha! Nasza zima zła!
Szczypie w nosy, szczypie w uszy
Mroźnym śniegiem w oczy prñszy,
Wichrem w polu gna!
Nasza zima zła!
Płachta na niej długa, biała,
W ręku gałąź oszroniała,
A na plecach drwa...
Nasza zima zła!
A my jej się nie boimy,
Dalej śnieżkiem w plecy zimy,
Niech pamiątkę ma!
Nasza zima zła!
Bad Winter

Ooh! Ooh !Aah! Our winter’s bad!
Pinches noses, stings my ears
With the snow they know my fears,
What’s the rush that makes me sad?!
Our Winter’s Bad!
Ooh! Ooh! Aah! Our winter’s bad!
She put on her long, white coat
With the branch she has just wrote
And the firewood on back –a strange fad
Our Winter’s Bad!
Ooh! Ooh! Aah! Our Winter’s Bad!
But not be afraid of her
Come and play a snowball game
Let’s give her as a keepsake that!
Our winter’s bad!

„Zima”

wszędzie go nawiało.
Dachy białe już są.
Na ulicach biało.
Strojne w biel, w srebrny puch,
latarnie się wdzięczą.
Dziń-dziń-dziń-dziń-
dzwonki sanek brzęczą.
Pada śnieg, prñszy śnieg
bielutki jak mleko.
W sklepach gwar, w sklepach ruch:
- Gwiazdka niedaleko!
Jeszcze dzień, jeszcze dwa,
chłopcy i dziewczynki!
Będą stać niby las
na rynku choinki
Winter
By Jñzef Czechowicz
It’s snowing it’s sprinkling
Everywhere it’s blown
Roofs are white
As well as whole town
Adorned with white and silver down
Lamps on streets are simpering
Jingle – jingle - jingle
Bells on sleigh are clattering
It’s snowing it’s sprinkling
Snow’s as white as milk
Bustle, hubbub in the shops
Santa Claus is coming
One more day, maybe two
Happy boys and girls
Christmas trees soon will stand
On the marketplace

„Jedzie zima”
Czesław Janczarski
Przypłynęła chmura sina.
Od pñłnocy wiatr zacina.
Kot wyjść z domu nie ma chęci.
Coś się tam na dworze święci!
Kraczą wrony na parkanie:
- Jedzie zima, groźna pani!
I już lecą z nieba śnieżki,
zasypują drogi, ścieżki,
pola, miedzę i podwñrka,
dach, stodoły, budę Burka.
Kraczą wrony na jabłoni:
- Jedzie zima parą koni!
Mrñz ściął lodem brzeg strumyka.
Zając z pola w las pomyka.
Krasnalowi zmarzły uszy,
już spod pieca się nie ruszy!
Kraczą wrony na brzezinie:
- Oj, nieprędko zima minie!
Winter is coming
by Czesław Janczarski
A blue cloud floated by.
From the north a wind whips.
The Cat has no desire to leave the house.
Something is starting ouside!
The crows crouch on the fence:
- Winter is coming, a dangerous lady!
And snowflakes fall from the sky,
covering roads, paths,
fields, meadows and backyards,
the roof, barns, and Burka’s doghouse.
Crows crouch on an apple tree:
- Winter is coming, riding a pair of horses!
Frost cuts the edge of the stream with ice.
A field rabbit hides in the forest.
The dwarf’s ears have frozen,
already by the stove he will not move!
Crows crouch on the birch tree:
-Oh, winter will not soon pass!

Bērnu ziemas dziesmiņa
(Vilis Plūdonis)
Ziema, ziema!
Baltā māmuliņa!
Klusi, klusi atbraukusi
Šurp pa nakti viņa.
Klau, kā laukā
Bērni jautri klaigā
Slidinoties, vizinoties,
Purpursārti vaigā!
E kur, re kur
Lasās zēnu bari:
Pulkos stājas, rokām mājas -
Sāksies lielie kari.
Māmiņ! māmiņ!
Manu cepurīti!
Es ar līdzi skriešu
Tur, kur visi citi!
Winter Song for Children
by Vilis Plūdonis
Winter, winter!
The white mammy!
Came softly overnight
And here she is.
Children clamor joyfully
Their faces’re blushing
Playing outside in the field
Sliding, riding, rushing
Hey, boys! Come along!
Regiments! Eyes right!
Calling friends, waving hands -
Ready for a snowfight.
Mom! Mom!
My hat!
I must run
Where the others are having fun

Miljoniem sniegpārslu
/dzejoļa autors Guntis Vāveris/
Sala pieskāriens…
Un gaisma zūd,
Bet sirdīs šai gaismai,
Uz mūžu būt…
Pārslu eņģeli…
Tiem spārni trausli,
Kūst tie saujās,
Bet daile to stipra –
-tie plaukstai klāt kļaujas..
…Viņi kusīs Zemes plaukstā,
Dzīvību padzirdot radīs…
Īstenosies vēlme skaļi paustā –
- viņi mūsu sirdis vadīs!
Cik daudz eņģeļu te bijis,
Ka to pūkas baltās…,
Aizdzen prom skumjas saltās?
Millions of Snowflakes
(by Guntis Vāveris)
Touch of Frost ...
And the light fades,
But in our hearts that light,
Will stay …
Flakes - little angels
With fragile wings
They fly and melt calm
But beauty is their strength -
- they cling to your palm
…They’ll melt on the Earth’s palm
Giving voice to our desires…
All wishes will be carried out –
- they’ll lead our hearts
How many angels’ve been here
White weightless fluff…
That cast away sad wintry stuff.
