Herbst am See [English translation]

Like a hazy screen of blankness

Hovers mist across the lake

In the trees a rustling, faint

Wind and leaves a mournful strain

In the grand odyssey's wake

Chilly morn' after the banquets

Like a first résumé take

No sunbeams cutting through the grain

Flocks of birds voyaging wane

Goodbyes and handshakes...

[Chorus:]

Autumn by the lakeside

Weather turning, frosty hands

As we are standing by the lake

We both know, this is the end

I wonder why we will not break

Colorful leaves sweep the banks

Straying off into the gale

Woods in hundred thousand dyes

Tint the first cracks in their guise

Acting blind and acting stale

And the twilight paints us blank

Even more than we were pale

All this holds glamorous ties

Yet we cannot slake the cries

That the good times are to fail

[Chorus]

A sight so ripe with beauty

Yet a mere remaining rest

A thought that brings a frosty shiver to our chest
