Translated Lyrics
After snow, sunny day! Plum blossoms scent the air
Ride my donkey past the bridge, his bell sounds ding dong.
Sounds ding dong! Sounds ding dong! Sounds ding dong! Sounds ding dong!Such lovely flowers beside my chair! I read and play music, such a happy time![3]
gollark: Oh, right, you're in a different "time zone" so it's "reasonable" to have classes now.
gollark: I see.
gollark: (this would be a rounder number, and is thus right)
gollark: 27 minutes? Not 37 minutes?
gollark: Ask whoever runs the ““““makerspace“ then, of course.
