Sügislaul

V. Tormis

Jälle tulnud on pimedad ööd,

Again have come the dark nights,

Jälle kased on koltuma löönd.

Again the birches are turning yellow.

Tuulest kantuna lendlevad lehed,

Leaves fly in the wind,

Kurba kahinat akna all tehes,

Sorrowfully murmuring under my window

Vastu ruutugi lendavad nad

They fly against the windowpane

Rinda valusa nukruse saan.

In my breast comes a painful sadness.

Miks nii kiiresti minugi päevad

Why do my days also pass so quickly

Aega andmata kaduma läevad

Without giving time, get lost

Aega andmata nõnda kui tuul

Without giving time, as the wind

Lehti armutult raputab puult

Without mercy shakes the leaves from the trees.

Jälle kased on koltuma löönd.

Again the birches are turning yellow.

Tuulest kantuna lendlevad lehed,

Leaves fly in the wind,

Kurba kahinat akna all tehes,

As I murmur sorrowfully under my window,

Vastu ruutugi lendavad nad

Against the windowpane they fly

Rinda valusa nukruse saan.

In my breast comes a painful sadness.

Jälle tulnud on pimedad ööd.

Again have come the dark nights.

Miks nii kiiresti minugi päevad

Why do my days also pass so quickly

Aega andmata kaduma läevad

Without giving time, get lost

Aega andmata nõnda kui tuul

Without giving time, as the wind

Lehti armutult raputab puult

Without mercy shakes the leaves from the trees.

Jälle kased on koltuma löönd.

Again the birches are turning yellow.

Tuulest kantuna lendlevad lehed,

Leaves fly in the wind,

Kurba kahinat akna all tehes,

As I murmur sorrowfully under my window,

Vastu ruutugi lendavad nad

Against the windowpane they fly

Rinda valusa nukruse saan.

In my breast comes a painful sadness.

Jälle tulnud on pimedad ööd.
