Grandma! Grandma! See, summer came!
Wherever you look, flowers are bowing
their smell braids senses,
intertwines a butterfly into a bouquet
with two bees and a ladybird.

Ah!
I danced in the garden happy and joyful,
I’ve been giving flowers to you like I used to.
Still, remember how much you loved flowers.
I will put them in a vase next to your photo
I love you, grandma, and I still remember you
And carry you through life, always in my heart.
