My teacher gave me this song to learn last Sunday. I think I have gotten down the first half of the first part (of three parts…)
Every time I am given a new song to learn, my teacher gives me some quick context. This one is simple:
春 is spring, as in the season
曉 means to know something is coming and to be familiar with it, also means dawn
吟 is just a song
If you look up 春曉, it translates to “dawn in spring”; however, my teacher told me in this context it means to know that spring is coming soon. “Song of early spring,” as I was told.
Anyway, today’s training is done! I get to see my teacher tomorrow.
