Lyrics meaning
The speaker joyfully imagines a wedding and urges a loved one to share in that happy future. The lyrics move from playful invitations to a reminder of a promise: the other person said they would choose a wedding date. The repeated refrain keeps the mood light, though it also hints that the speaker is waiting for the promise to become real.
Spring images make the imagined wedding feel fresh and hopeful. Apple-tree blossoms suggest new beginnings, while lambs and singing birds create a picture of lively, carefree nature. โAfter April showersโ evokes the idea that better, brighter days follow a period of rain; here, it also points toward the expected wedding date. โLet the bells chimeโ can mean literally ringing wedding bells, but it also signals celebration.
The speaker says โpretend,โ so the scene may be a fantasy rather than a firm plan. This could be playful teasing between two people who have already discussed marriage, or a hopeful way to prompt someone who is delaying. The cheerful repetition may express confidence, but it could also gently cover uncertainty about whether the promise will be kept.
