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.
