Oh, mylord, you never returned I was waiting for you my love
You told me to see the scarlet leaves, the scarlet leaves when they had fallen on the earth you would have returned you would have returned
Oh mylord, now I'm laying on the ground I'm still waiting for you, my love Oh mylord, now I'm laying on the cold ground and I'm still waiting for you, my love
Now I feel the scarlet leaves flying over me, flying over me please, please, come to me and spread my ashes among scarlet leaves
I would like to flutter with them I would like to have wings I would like to feel breeze and air I would like to be wind
Seasons have passed and I'm still alone in the breeze in the snow, my love
With the eyes of my soul I will nevermore see scarlet leaves the feeble eyes of my soul now they are closed I will never return
Oh, mylord, now when you've returned I'll never return
