The meaning of the words of this song is similar to that soviet song about leaves and love:

Autumn has come again, setting the leaves in flame,
Sending once to bonfires all that hid our cuddles.
When they were green and rang greeting the love that came
They played spring wedding march for the meeting the couples.

As if wanting to punish the love they need
People burn leaves, they burn leaves, they burn leaves

Leaves shouldn’t see and learn passion of secret words
Whisper and vows of love, tenderness, happy smiles.

Оne burns leaves like salute of the first autumn tunes
When leaves fall, people burn them, that’s all.

We burn the leaves in vain, hardly they can be blamed
That they have saved the words of avowal and hope…
It is a shame for people to execute the leaves
When being tired of love we forget all the dreams

So why if they punish the dying love
They burn leaves, they burn leaves they burn leaves?

Better you must believe
that in the flames of leaves
Our love will burn trace of evil and hurt.

One burns leaves like salute
of the summer last tunes
When leaves fall, people burn them,
That’s all.
