Livets frger r oss blott till lns
Rodnaden p din kind
Hrets vackra sken
Och dina levnadsglada gon
Kommer alla att
bleka
[Chorus:]
Grtt, Grtt,
Allt blir till mull
Grtt, Grtt
Fda t maskar, allt vi r
Livets hst kom
tidigt.
Ngon vr minns jag ej
Sommaren varade blott en stund
Ett gonblicks bitter gldje
[Repeat Chorus:]
Livets hst
kom tidigt.
Ngon vr minns jag ej
Sommaren varade blott en stund
Ett gonblicks bitter gldje
Innan hst kom fr gott
Allting
bleknade, allting dog
Skogarna vcktes inte till liv i ett eldlikt skimmer
Ty ett tocken snkte sig ver vrlden
Och stal livets
frger
Livets hst r inte frisk av nordan
Ty vinden br med sig en doft av gravgrdarnas mylla
[English
translation:]
Autumn
The colors of life are gone
The redness of your cheek
Your glittering hair
And your happy
eyes
Will all drain out
Gray, gray
Everything becomes dirt
Gray, gray
Food for worms is all we are
The autumn of
life came early
Spring I cannot remember
Summer lasted but an instant
A moment of remorseful joy
[Repeat
Chorus:]
The autumn of life came early
Spring I cannot remember
Summer lasted but an instant
A moment of remorseful
joy
Before eternal autumn
Everything drained out, everything died
Forests were not resurrected in fiery glitter
A blanket lain
on top the world
Took the colors of life away
The autumn of life is not fresh of northern wind
But brings an odor of
graveyard dirt
