Voice melody only:

Voice with accompaniment:

Vivaldi wrote of the spring - With the sounds that all the birds sing,
Not to mention a storm and a stream! (repeat quieter-PIANO)

CHORUS: (FORTE!) Today, yes today's the first day! Today, yes today's the first day,
The first day, Today's the first day of Spring. (repeat quieter: PIANO)

Oh, hear the birds, Oh hear the birds,
Singing of Spring, singing of Spring!
Oh, hear the birds, Oh hear the birds, Oh, hear the birds, Oh hear the birds,
Singing of Spring, singing of Spring! Singing of Spring, singing of Spring!

CHORUS (Once only FORTE)

Can you hear the river flowing, can you hear the breezes blowing,
Can you hear them?
Can you hear the breezes blow? Can you hear the river flow?
Can you hear the breezes blow? Can you hear the river flow?

Today yes today's the first day, Today yes today's the first day,
The first day, but now a storm has come!

Now comes the storm!
Hear the storm?- Here's the storm! - Hear the storm? - Here's the storm!-
Hear the storm? - Here comes a sudden thunder storm!

The storm scares away the birds but, Today, yes today's the first day, the first day!
Today's the first day of Spring,

And so the birds are coming back- Can you hear them coming back?
Oh can you hear them coming back? If you listen closely you'll hear them all
Coming back, They're all coming back, BECAUSE ...

Today, yes today's the first day! Today, yes today's the first day,
The first day, Today's the first day of Spring. (repeat quieter: PIANO)

CHORUS repeat 2x second time quiet and slow down at end.
