lyrics

In the sky a clear (bright) crescent moon is shining onto the autumn town. Drops of sky on the asphalt are breathing with dark cold.
Gardens are waiting dawn and dog’s barking.
Doors are shut tight from wind and despair.
Ah, you September, dark nights,
Moon-filled nights hoodwink my soul.
A crescent moon is shining with its yellow eye onto the autumn country Lulling the worldly mountains and rivers to peace sleep.
Let the continent see the golden Sun in its dreams.
Let the Earth shed its worries in the blue calmness.
...
Only I, the restless soul, get no slumber under the full moon.
I keep yearning and searching for something with my restless soul.
The Sun will colour my town with its first rays.
Wake me up with the light, calm my soul down.
