The Hungarian title is "Hulló levelek" (Falling Leaves). Yves Montand (with Irène Joachim) introduced "Les feuilles mortes" in the film Les Portes de la nuit (1946).The American songwriter Johnny Mercer wrote English lyrics in 1947, and Jo Stafford was among the first to perform this version. "Autumn Leaves" became a pop standard and a jazz standard in both languages, both as an instrumental and with a singer.Frank Sinatra included a popular version of the song on his album Where Are You? (1956).LYRICS:The falling leavesDrift by my windowThe falling leavesOf red and goldI see your lipsThe summer kissesThe sunburned handsI used to holdSince you went awayThe days grow longAnd soon I'll hearOld winter's songBut I miss you most of allMy darlingWhen autumn leavesStart to fallSince you went awayThe days grow longAnd soon I'll hearOld winter's songBut I miss you most of allMy darlingWhen autumn leavesStart to fall.......DISCLAIMER: The video is not intended for copyright infringement.
