Verse 1
Spring's first day
And I want to be there
And I want to be so present
So that I can see
That I'm a part of everything
Prechorus 1
Spring's big day
And I want to be there
Let me live longer
Now that I can see
Chorus 1
Come spring, come the laughter
Come the tears in the night
Let me be, let me be
A little longer, I am
I'm not ready to go yet
Let me exist, let me exist
A little more, I am
I'm not ready to die yet
Not yet
No, I am
I'm not ready to go yet
Not yet
No, I am
I'm not ready to go
Verse 2
On your big day
I wanted to be there
I prayed: let me live longer
But through your eyes
Bridge
I saw the children, I saw the laughter
I was the tears in the night
I saw the children, I saw the laughter
I was the tears in the night
Chorus 2
Let me be, let me be
A little longer, I am
I'm not ready to go yet
Let me exist, let me exist
A little more, I am
I'm not ready to die yet

No, I am
I'm not ready to go yet
Not yet
No, I am
I'm not ready to go

Not yet
On your big day
Then I wanted to be there
Then I wanted to be there
There
Chorus 3
Let me be, let me be
A little longer, I am

Let me exist, let me exist
A little more, I am
I'm not ready to die yet
Not yet
No, I am
I'm not ready to go
Outro 2
On your big day
I wanted to be there
I wanted to be there

finnasto exist / to be found

Finnas is a Swedish verb that means 'to exist' or 'to be found'. While 'vara' is the more common verb for 'to be', 'finnas' carries a deeper nuance of presence and existence, often implying a state of being rather than just identification.

In the song, Laleh sings, "Låt mig finnas, låt mig finnas lite mer" (Let me exist, let me exist a little more). This powerful plea on "Vårens Första Dag" (Spring's First Day) highlights a profound desire for continued life and presence, making it a truly evocative and memorable word that resonates with the song's theme of renewal and the preciousness of life.

Have you ever felt so full of life that you just don't want it to end? That's the powerful feeling behind Laleh's song, "Vårens Första Dag," which translates to "The First Day of Spring."

Using the beautiful image of spring's arrival, the song is a passionate plea to live longer and experience everything life has to offer. The singer embraces it all:

  • The joy: "kom skratten" (come the laughter)
  • The sorrow: "kom tårarna om natten" (come the tears in the night)

The core message is a raw and emotional cry: "Jag är inte beredd att gå än" (I am not ready to go yet). It's a universal song about cherishing every single moment and holding on tightly to the beautiful, messy, wonderful thing we call life.
