lands_of_magic, I made a playlist of traditional Japanese folk songs about spring.
Haru Yo Koi // Come Here Spring
English translation:
Come here, spring.'
‘Come here, spring.'
'Come quick ,spring!'
"Mi-chan" just beginning to walk,
in sandals with red thongs
is looking forward to going out
‘Come here, spring.'
'Come quick ,spring!'
A peach tree in front of Mi-chan's house,
the buds bulge out
waiting for flowers to bloom.
Sakura Sakura // Cherry Blossoms Cherry Blossoms
This vid has three different versions of this traditional song so I didn't copy/paste the English translation.
Haruno Ogawa // The Stream in Springtime
English Translation:
The stream in springtime flows peacefully,
it whispers to the violets and milk vetches on the shore,
it whispers to them 'bloom bloom'.
The stream in springtime flows peacefully,
it whispers to the group of shrimp, medaka, and small crucian carp,
to swim all day in the sunlight.
It whispers to them 'play play.'
Haru Ga Kita // Spring Has Come
English translation:
Where has it come ?
to the mountains, to the villages,
and to the fields.
Flowers come out, flowers come out,
Where do they come out ?

and in the fields.
Birds sing, birds sing,
Where do they sing?
in the mountains, in the villages,
And in the fields.
