Like dancing strips of fresh green velvet,

In winter in California,

Displaying a special color of life.

Ah, those fresh and tender shades of green—

Nature’s new-life melody jumps out.

So excited, I appreciate and listen,

And touch great mother earth’s true love.

Ah, those undulating meadows going on and on,

As nature’s new-life melody comes jumping out,

Causing me, causing me to appreciate and listen excitedly,

To touch great mother earth’s true love—

Great mother earth

Great mother earth’s true love!
