How are you? It's been a while, but I felt like writing It's been two years since I came north I've finally gotten used to the freezing cold Lilacs are a sign of spring Like the light purple ink I use To write this letter to you Past the snowcapped mountains to the flowing river There the blue sky shimmers Today I'm changing to my spring wardrobe I got out a white cotton skirt When I hear the whistle of the ferry in the distance My thoughts turn to the old hometown I'd nearly forgotten Please be careful not to catch a cold When the first winds of spring blow But even if you did catch cold You'd just laugh and say "even the devil gets sunstroke" The lilacs are like my heart And though we live far apart now, I'm sending you This spring letter, and with that, I say goodbye How are you? It's been a while, but I felt like writing It's been two years since I came north I've finally gotten used to the freezing cold Lilacs are a sign of spring Like the light purple ink I use To write this letter to you And with that, I say goodbye
