Where is Spring – A Chinese Children’s Song

When we talk about Spring, some happy songs come to my mind. Where Is Spring song, or “春天在哪里” (chūn tiān zài nǎ lǐ)  is a great example.

What is “Where is Spring” Song About

It begins by asking the question “Where is spring? Where is spring? “ Then we explore the answers together:

Spring is in the green mountains with red flowers, green grass and tweeting birds.

Spring is in the reflection of the lake water with shadows of red flowers, green grass and tweeting birds.

Spring is also in the eyes of children with the images of red flowers, green grass and tweeting birds.
