I am bound to the King of the Sign of Autumn
Parting I love the fruits I detest the flowers
Parting I love the fruits I detest the flowers
I regret every one of the kisses that I’ve given
I regret every one of the kisses that I’ve given
Such a bitter walnut tells his grief to the showers
Such a bitter walnut tells his grief to the showers


My Autumn eternal O my spiritual season
My Autumn eternal O my spiritual season
The hands of lost lovers juggle with your sun
The hands of lost lovers juggle with your sun
A spouse follows me it’s my fatal shadow
A spouse follows me it’s my fatal shadow
The doves take flight this evening their last one
The doves take flight this evening their last one

I am bound to the King of the Sign of Autumn
Parting I love the fruits I detest the flowers
I regret every one of the kisses that I’ve given
Such a bitter walnut tells his grief to the showers

My Autumn eternal O my spiritual season
The hands of lost lovers juggle with your sun
A spouse follows me it’s my fatal shadow
The doves take flight this evening their last one
