The snow was falling outside
Di luar salju berjatuhan
and grandmother was in her chair by the fireplace
dan nenek duduk di kursi dekat perapian.
She had that far away look she gets sometimes.
Kadang pandangannya menerawang.
I crawled up into her lap hoping for a story.
Aku minta dipangku dengan harapan akan didongengi.
She wrapped her arms around me and said,
Beliau memelukku erat dan berkata,
When I was a little girl just like you
“Ketika Nenek masih kecil seperti kamu,
my grandmother told me about some magic waters."
nenek buyutmu menceritakan soal air ajaib."
Grandmother smiled at me and asked,
Nenek tersenyum padaku lalu bertanya,
Would you like to hear what she had to say?
“Maukah kau mendengar ceritanya?”

"It was the time of the new beginning,
“Saat itu adalah sebuah permulaan baru,
when the leaves bust open on the trees,
ketika dedaunan gugur ,
and flowers start to blossom.
dan bunga-bunga mulai bermekaran."
