Harbstlid -- English Translation

See it’s fall and all that was green is yellowed, withered, 

See it’s fall and that which greened bloomed is gone

 And I who thought it would always be spring ,

And held in my hand all eternity..

     Oho!  Falling leaves, Oho, flying days, 

     Oho, how, how will I wander now, 

     When thick fog settles on my way

Sadly cawing birds say good bye —

Moaning at the window, and the wind complains.. 

I wish that I could get away from here now,

To a shore where there is still green spring.

     Oho!  Falling leaves, Oho, flying days, 

     Oho, how, how will I wander now, 

     When thick fog settles on my way

The rain flies, a gallop of wild horses, 

Whispers a secret and holds me close

Why do you need to wait for spring

when autumn offers baskets full of gold?

      Oho!  Falling leaves, Oho, flying days, 

     Oho, how, how will I wander now, 

     When thick fog settles on my way
