Autumn song

This text is written by Tove Jansson. It is sang with a Finnish-Swedish accent, as it should...



The refrain goes something like this: Hurry dear, hurry to love. The days are getting darker minute by minute. Let's light our candles, it's close to the night. Soon is the flowering summer to an end.

It's a sad song, for old people. Some of Tove Janssons books for children are pretty sad too, or at least special.
