You said you have chestnut hair
And a chestnut-like sparkle in your eyes
And it felt so good to be together, beloved,
Among the golden leaves, the wind, and the stars
When the wind pelted the chestnuts with hail
You suddenly whispered, lowering your voice,
I am leaving today, but where I'm going
I'll take with me this golden night

Beloved, beloved
Chestnuts are falling off of trees as before
Right under the feet of laughing couples
Like the russet one they hail down
When at night in the alley
The russet chestnut I gave you and my heart
And you said three words to me and nothing more
That you love me and the wind

Already the third autumn gilds the park
Chestnuts are falling off the trees for the third time
But your love is not returning to me
Although so many leaves and stars shine
And only a golden chestnut I still have
A small talisman of the happy days
And this simple autumn song
Which the wind may perhaps carry to you

Beloved, beloved
Chestnuts are falling off of trees as before
Right under the feet of laughing couples
Like the russet one they hail down
When at night in the alley
The russet chestnut I gave you and my heart
And you said three words to me and nothing more
That you love me and the wind

Beloved, beloved
Chestnuts are falling off of trees as before
Right under the feet of laughing couples
Like the russet one they hail down
When at night in the alley
The russet chestnut I gave you and my heart
And you said three words to me and nothing more
That you love me and the wind
