”The snow it melts the soonest when the winds begin to sing
And the corn it ripens faster as the frosts are setting-in
And when a young man tells me that my face he’ll soon forget, before we part he’ll tell me that he’d be fain to follow it yet
The snow it melts the soonest when the winds begin to sing
And the swallow flies without a thought long as it is spring
But when spring goes and winter blows my love still firm will be
I know you’re proud with will as steal, but belive that I say what I mean
The snow it melts the soonest when the winds begin to sing And the bee that flew when summer shone in winter he won’t sing
And all the flowers in the land so brightly they may be
And the snow it melts as soon as when my true love comes for me
So don’t you bid me farewell, no farewell I recive
You hold me in your arms once more then kiss and take your leave
And I’ll be here waiting for you, I promise that I will
For the snow it melts the soon as when the winds begin to sing”
Thus goes this old, but still so beautiful, tune about a young couple falling in love. The lyrics has many different interpretations and are told from different points of view, but the core message is the same; how powerful love can be and the troubles and blessings that comes with it. Love is symbolized in the nature, and it’s different phases are described in the changing of the seasons, animals, plants etc. Winter symbolizes the hard times most must go through, when you must struggle to stay together. It may also be a symbol to love without reciveing the same feelings from the one who is the creator of these affections. The spring is a symbol of blissful happiness, incipient love and passionate feelings. This song encourage us to stay presistent when facing times of troubles, and it wishes to inflict hope to the ones that are about to give in.
