[English]

Oh-oh, oh-oh

The falling leaves drift by the window

The autumn leaves are red and gold

I see your lips, the summer kisses, hmm

The sunburnt hands I used to hold

Since you went away, the days grow long

And soon I'll hear our winter's song

But I miss you most of all, my darling

When autumn leaves start to fall

Start to fall

Start to fall

Start to fall

Start to fall
