Hello Lilly,
The author of the source text inclines to be poetical and if I try and change it into 'springtime' the lyric is a little bit lost. It is not so much about the season of spring ('springtime') as it is about a time/hour when the character wishes to convey his/her love statement.
If the Romanian text had said something like:
"În timpul dulce al primăverii", or
"În anotimpul dulce al primăverii",
then "springtime" would have "fit" the context.
I think I am not wrong if I say that another term for "hour" could be "moment", though "hour" renders a longer period of time, while "moment" renderes a shorter period of time (of course, duh
. But because of its poetical feature, that detail might not matter so much. Even if "hour" and "moment" are two different words and the translation would not be so much a "word by word" one, I think the meaning behind it would be well preserved.
I hope I have not turned to be too boring by trying to tell you my idea about it.
Thank you for your patience.
