Oh autumn breeze, of tender joy
How can you be so glad?
As if sadness is a toy,
And nothing can be bad.
Oh autumn breeze tell me how
Your placid serene heart,
With so much peace is kissing now
The leaves to fall apart?
Would you sing for me
Your joyous lullaby ?
Sing for me
Your secret song
How can you be
So strong?
You know the leaves are green
Full of colour and life ,
All summer they have been
So abundant and rife.
And here you come to kiss
The green with your smile,
You greet the trees with bliss
Yet you carry a guile.
Now would you sing for me
Your joyous lullaby ?
Sing for me
Your secret song
How can you be
So strong?
Oh autumn breeze, I envy you
You are the starter of cold
Winter is in the heart of you
But you never let it unfold
Never harsh, always tender
Until the green is yellow
Until the calm surrender
Until the silent sparrow.
Would you sing for me
Your joyous lullaby ?
Sing for me
Whether right, or wrong!
How can you be
So strong?
