Windzeit [English translation]

The nights are getting colder

And mists extend far

Into the country, and hide the morning

It's only hesitantly that the sun shows itself.

[Refrain:]

Season of wind, season of wolves, light gives way to darkness

Season of wind, season of wolves, a storm rages in the sky

The season of wind invades the world. 1

Only emptiness still seems to prevail

Life fades and passes away

As if the breath of death

Had lain down softly onto the fields.

[Refrain]

An everlasting winter

Announces the end and soon

This life will probably lean down

Into eternally vast abysses

[Refrain]

Season of wind, season of wolves, light gives way to darkness

Season of wind, season of wolves, a storm rages in the sky

Season of wind, season of wolves, light gives way to darkness

Season of wind, season of wolves, a storm rages in the sky

The season of wind invades the world.

1. Literally "breaks into the world".

Also, you can see that the original text doesn't use any articles in front of "Windzeit", but I thought that it didn't sound good in English for this last line, so I put the definite article - it made more sense, because it's a very concrete season (winter) that the line sings about, although it refers to it metaphorically.
