1.

My fire of love,
however far
or near I might be,
never changing,
will always be burning
for you, dear eyes.

That flame which kindled me

is so pleased with my soul
that it never dies.
And if fate entrusts me to you,
lovely rays of my beloved sun,
my soul will never be able
to long for any other light

2.
Here below, all the lilacs die,
All the bird songs are brief,
I dream of summers that remain
Forever...

Here below, lips barely brush,

Leaving nothing of their velvet,
I dream of kisses that remain
Forever...

Here below, all the men weep

For their friendships or their loves;
I dream of couples who remain
Forever...

3.
The fall wind rattles the forest,
the night is so wet it will freeze;
wrapped in my somber top-coat
I'm riding forth through the trees.

And as I am riding, are riding

my thoughts well ahead of me;
they carry me, lightly and sprightly,
to the house where my love shall be.

The servants rush forth with their candles,

and barking are all the curs;
I storm up the winding staircase,
up, up, with my tinkling spurs.

How brightly lit is her chamber,

sweet scented, with rugs to rest;
and there is my true love waiting:
I'm flying onto her breast.

Now rustles the wind in the foliage,

now speaks the oak tree grim:
What do you, foolish rider,
want with your foolish dream?

4.
Falling leaf and fading tree,
Lines of white in a sullen sea,
Shadows rising on you and me;
Shadows rising on you and me;
The swallows are making them ready to fly,
Wheeling out on a windy sky.
Goodbye Summer! Goodbye! Goodbye!

Hush! a voice from the far away!

"Listen and learn," it seems to say,
"All the tomorrows shall be as today."
"All the tomorrows shall be as today."
The cord is frayed, the [cruse]1 is dry,
The link must break, and the lamp must die --
Goodbye to Hope! Goodbye! Goodbye!

What are we waiting for? Oh, my heart!

Kiss me straight on the brows! and part again!
Again! my heart! my heart!
What are we waiting for, you and I?
A pleading look, a stifled cry.
Goodbye, forever! Goodbye, forever!
Goodbye! Goodbye! Goodbye!
