Ade, ihr Sommertage [English translation]

Farewell, you summer days

Say, where do you want to go?

Are you leaving the gold fields already

That are full of light and grain?

Are you already pledging the light of heaven

To winter?

Is the rough autumn wind already carrying

The fog over the country?

Farewell, you summer days

So ends the cycle

Every happiness, even the slightest that you experience

Has its price

The last warm rain

Weaves tears into your dress

The ashes of my love

Sink into oblivion

Farewell, you summer days

Do you not forget me either?

Will you still come back to me sometimes

With a hand full of light?
