Snufkin's Spring Song (or Snusmumrikens vårvisa in the original Swedish) was a song written by Erna Tauro and Lyrics by Tove Jansson for the music book "Songs from Moominvalley". The song was one of many tunes composed made in this collaboration, and would later be rearranged in 2019 by Emma Klingenberg for the Moomin Park located in Hanno, Japan. Like many pieces of Moomin related media, there were never any English translations produced for these songs, so I took it upon myself to translate the lyrics myself and have reached out to the Wright Step to help make the instrumental and mixing of the song. Apologies in advance if my translation isn't perfect, but I hope you enjoy this slight change of pace as we move to the cold months of winter.

LYRICS:
I wander through the forest, upon an early spring
It was as I expected, as I’ve left it
The ground so full of footprints, the sky so full of wings
Of insects, all awoken from their respite.

I wander at my fancy, under my hat of Green.
I play at day and night, and the hours in between.
I do not seek possessions, for one must always be free,
To go about your searching, for your own melody.

I longed to write an opus, devoted to the streams
A quiet tune devoted to the moonlight
A song on my mouth organ, for migrant birds to gleam
A tune of glory to my lonely delight.

But hours become smaller, and dusk approaches ere long.
And now I can no longer find a singular small song.
There is anticipation for the spring’s melancholy.
And for this lonely traveler, who is completely free.
