In spring and in autumn;
Perhaps thou mayest see me seeking thee.
It is long, Oh, it is long, Oh.
B.
Oh, it is long! Lonely thou lookest up stream (and) down stream; lonely thou lookest. Oh, it is long.
As we look upon the leaves, how beautiful it was by the stream! How fair the moon! We were very joyful. Until I die, I shall think of thee. Oh, it is long!
Lonely thou lookest up-stream (and) down stream. Lonely thou lookest. Oh, it is long!
Once as I went in a canoe along the lake, how beautiful were the mountains; how the green leaves came out. Oh it is long!
Oh it is long! Then once more we shall go in a canoe when I come again (to thee); when amid the lonely winter leaves here on the mountain you await me; Oh, it is long.
Lonely thou lookest up stream (and) down stream; lonely thou lookest. Oh it is long!
