My Autumn Lover
Christine, Our "autumn love"
has come true since long.
Let me be in your heart
and let you be my Valentine again, I love you.
Do you ever speak to me
words full of the love
We knew when we were young?
Do you ever speak to me
When autumn leaves fall
and lie in the empty yard;
And the song of the flute,
From behind some distant curtain,
Softly sounds in the still air?
Do you ever think of me
When your hand reaches out
and pulls a drooping leaf
Down from its branch?
Do you ever think of me
as the birds laugh and the wind jokes
And no one knows the love
I hold for you in my heart?
In a heart which is cold
Like the water of an autumn lake,
As the twilight falls
On a desolate night.
Lying side by side,
I hope the days and months
Will not pass too quickly;
But you, you don't care at all
How the present time passes.
And soon winter comes
To the cold river bank,
And hurriedly you marry;
Among your choice is mine,
Pleasant to hear from you again.
But, tell me, sometimes do you
Still remember the vivid summer,
And my love lingering
In the corner of my heart?
Autumn 1998
