Und es war Sommer [English translation]

It was a beautiful day

The last day of August

The sun was burning

As if she knew

The air was sizzling hot

I wanted to be alone

So I told the other guys

"I don't have time today"

Then I met her and looked into her eyes

And somehow I felt

As if she was waving to me and she seemed to say

"Come on over, sit with me!"

I was sixteen, she was thirty-one

I didn't know much about love

She knew everything and she made me feel

I was no longer a child

And it was summer

She acted as if I wasn't present

And all she wore was her long hair over her shoulders

I was bashful and didn't know where

To look as I could not take my eyes off of her

"I can understand," I heard her say

"It's because you're young that you're not following your feelings

But stay with me until the sun turns red

And you will understand"

We walked down to the beach

And the boy bashfully took her hand

But as a man I saw the sun rise

And it was summer

It was summer

It was summer, my first time ever

It was summer, the very first time

And as a man I saw the sun rise

And it was summer

It was summer, my first time ever...
