This February took me to the frosts,

Experienced me by heavy snowstorms,

Wanted to know how much my love costs.

 

But…I was laughing boldly.

Happiness can’t live lonely.

I warmed myself by this verity.

 

This February tried to cool my heart,

It wanted us to live forever apart.

But…it forgot: March will be a start.

 

It tried to ice-bound my feelings,

To reveal my longings and likings

Drawing its beautiful paintings.

 

It tried to show me the ring,

It cried: Forget the spring!

I am the only one! Your king!

 

It showed me the pictures of the past,

It wanted to say: Love do not last!

All events finish so fast!

 

I thought: Dear February, you are strange!

The spring will take its revenge!

The whole world will be changed!

 

You can frighten me, you  cold month!

But I will always dance, having a chance!

In Spain under the rain and even in France.

 

At last this February took Mersey on me.

Tomorrow it promised to let me free.

It was also tired showing minus degree.
