You said you've got hair like chestnuts
And a chestnut glint in your eyes
And we were so happy, my dear
Among the golden leaves, the wind and stars
When wind shook the chestnuts with hail
You whispered suddenly lowering your voice:
I'm leaving today, but where I am going
I will take this golden night
My dear, my dear
Chestnuts fall from the trees as before
Right under the laughing couples' feet
Like red hail they fall
Just like on the night when in an alley
I've given you a red chestnut and my heart
And you have said three words to me, no more
That you love me and the wind
It's the third autumn to gild our park
Chestnuts fall from the trees for the third time
And your love isn't coming back to me
Although so many leaves and stars glisten
And all I have left is a golden chestnut
A small talisman of the happy days
And this simple autumn song
Which maybe the wind will carry to you
My dear, my dear
Chestnuts fall from the trees as before
Right under the laughing couples' feet
Like red hail they fall
Just like on the night when in an alley
I've given you a red chestnut and my heart
And you have said three words to me, no more
That you love me and the wind
My dear, my dear
Chestnuts fall from the trees as before
Right under the laughing couples' feet
Like red hail they fall
Just like on the night when in an alley
I've given you a red chestnut and my heart
And you have said three words to me, no more
That you love me and the wind
