Kalte Winde [English translation]

Too beautiful was this autumn

The sky blue on blue,

The Sun eternally gleaming

and so I didn't want to see

the shadow that lay thereunder.

Now fogs are growing around the house

And cover everything

With their grey sheets.

Darkness is sneaking up

So black that I can hardly bear it.

Cold winds blow through the house -

What can I do? What can I do?

All fires extinguished -

What can I do? What can I do?

Silently the year settles down,

Cold winds blow -

Soon snow will cover everything

On and on the wheel is turning

Onto colourful leaves falls snow,

After love comes oblivion.

Flowers wither quickly

That once bloomed there in the house.

Intoxicated with joy

Slipping away bit by bit

The last breeze of warmth.

Darkness is sneaking up

So black that can hardly bare it.

So black that I almost can't stand it!

Cold winds blow through the house -

What can I do? What can I do?

All fires extinguished -

What can I do? What can I do?

Silently the year settles down,

Cold winds blow -

Soon snow will cover everything.

Black and cold are all rooms

Far from spring's sun.

Only your kiss, full of warmth

Brings me back all joy!

Cold winds blow through the house -

What can I do? What can I do?

All fires extinguished -

What can I do? What can I do?

Silently the year settles down,

Cold winds blow -

Soon snow will cover everything.
