Текст песни
I longed to hold you tight
Under autumn’s chill and rain
Silently embrace your wet shoulders
That’s what I wished, no feign
On this October day, so grey
When melancholy fills the eve
I wished we’d walk away, just two
Together — side by side, believe
There, where candles dance and sway
On the walls in shadowed light
Where the tang of wine does tease the soul
I longed to touch your trembling hand, so slight
How many times? Oh, gods, I’ve lost the count
To kiss away your sorrow, make it gone
Forever — like a whispered vow, unbound
Like in a mist, I’d kiss you, kiss you again
Gently stroke your quivering shoulders, so thin
And outside, the leaves would dance and spin
In the autumn rain, the evening’s whirlwind
October’s eve — it calls us in
October’s eve
Oh, my soul!
My silent cry, so deep and true
I love you — can you hear me, dear?
— How long?
— Always, without a fear
Oh, my soul!
My heart, so torn, yet full of you
Not mine, not mine — yet still I yearn
My longed-for one, my dream come true
Not mine
I longed to speak, beneath the wine
Drunk and careless, free and wild
To tell you all my heart conceals, so fine
The secrets it has kept, untold, unmild
Under the moon, so red, so bright
Like a bridal veil, so pure, so white
I’d weep like a child, in anguish and strife
For my endless longing, my love, my life
For you
There, where the door is slightly ajar
Just a crack — you left it so
And in your eyes, a madman’s spark
A flicker of hope, aglow, aglow
I want to slip in, soft and slow
To tear away the white attire, so bold
From your gentle breast, in passion’s flow
Boldly — as if time had lost its hold
Boldly
And to wake up, in languid bliss, with you
By your side, in bed, so near, so true
Hearing your breath, so calm, so warm
On the edge of sleep, where dreams are born
But outside, the blizzard swirls and creeps
And the winter sun rises, pale, so bleak
Cold — like a shadow, silent, deep
The sun
