Now April, May and June seem sadly out of tune
Spring is here, why doesn't the breeze delight me?
All the boys and girls would sing
Maybe it's because nobody needs me
Spring is here, why isn't the waltz entrancing?
No desire, no ambition leads me
Maybe it's because nobody loves me
Stars appear, why doesn't the night invite me?
Life has stuck a pin in the balloon
Spring is here, why doesn't my heart go dancing?
As we sat at little tables and drank May wine
