Summer evening, over blooming land Since noon, I've been standing on the roadside With every car that passed by, I waved On a bicycle, a girl came over And she said, 'I feel sorry for you' But I laughed and said 'I don't need fancy waves' A bed in the cornfield, that's always free Because it's summer and what's the harm We know how to sing, and it smells like hay When we dream A bed in the cornfield among flowers and straw And the stars shine for us anyway A bed in the cornfield makes us somewhere, all alone A little later, her bicycle lay in the grass And so it happened that she forgot the time With the guitar, I told her about my life Suddenly she exclaimed, 'It's high time Now it's dark and my way is still far!' But I laughed and said 'I still have a lot to give you!'
