The Old Maple Tree

Old maple, old maple,
Old maple is knocking on the window,
Inviting our friends and us on a walk.
Why, oh why,
Why does it cheer me so?
Because you're walking down the alley.

Snowfall, snowfall,
Snowfall ended long ago,
As if on a visit, spring has returned again.
Why oh, why,
Why does it feel so good?
Because you simply smiled at me.

Take a look, take a look,
Take a look at the sky,
How it is shining so cloudless and clear.
Why oh why,
Why does the accordion sing?
Because someone loves the accordion player.
