Ade, ihr Sommertage

Goodbye summer days
Tell me where you want to go
Are you already leaving the golden fields
That are full of light and ears of corn

Give her the light of heaven
Already a pledge for winter
The harsh autumn wind is already carrying
The fog over the land

Goodbye summer days
So the circle closes
Every happiness, even the smallest
What you experience has its price

The last warm rain
Weaves tears into your dress
The ashes of my love
Sinks into oblivion

Goodbye summer days
Don't forget me either
Do you still come to me sometimes
With a hand full of light
