Translation of the song August artist Hermann Hesse

German

August

English translation

August

Das war des Sommers schönster Tag,

That was summer's finest day,

Nun klingt er vor dem stillen Haus

Now, beyond the silent house's domain,

In Duft und süßem Vogelschlag

Amid birdsong, the air's sweet bouquet,

Unwiederbringlich leise aus.

It fades away, never to come again.

In dieser Stunde, goldnen Born

In this hour, a fountain of gold

Gießt schwelgerisch in roter Pracht

Indulgently pours forth, while in glorious red,

Der Sommer aus sein volles Horn

Summer from its great hold,

Und feiert seine letzte Nacht.

To celebrate its last night ahead.
