On a sad autumn day, when with a melancholy light
The last ray glimmers through your window,
When you see how ivy with a purple hue
Entwines the withered garden, bidding farewell;

When you see how the roses are fading
And leaves fly away like a golden rain,
Let no tears appear in your eyes
And may the poison of sorrow not torment your soul.

Let your soul leave behind the world of autumn gloom and boredom,
Remember those enchanting days,
When, unaware of sorrow and separation,
We were happy completely alone...

And again everything around you will sparkle with summer,
And joy will descend into your soul
On a sad autumn day, when with a melancholy light
The last ray will shine through your window.
