Sommaren Är Min
Astrid Lindgren
Summer Is Mine
And now I want to sing
that summer is so nice,
and the trees are so pretty
and the grass is so green,
and the flowers are beautiful
and the hay smells great
and the sun is so sunny
and the water is so wet,
and the little bird flies
in and out of its nest,
and that's why I want to sing
that summer is mine.
And I also want to sing
that butterflies are cool,
and all the sweet little mosquitoes,
I want them too,
and I’m tan on my legs
just like it should be,
and that's why I want to sing
that tan legs are great.
And I have new freckles
and dotted summer skin,
and that's why I want to sing
that summer is mine.
