Again August

August races along the street

on a fast horse.

He wants to catch up to red-haired Autumn.

But she is already in a distant kingdom

and does not miss him at all.

The true knight of another's bride, 

He smells of apples and flowers,

and accompanied with a guitar,

sings a sad song 

somewhere in a forest .
