From the land of coldness
Under the Northern vault of the sky
Echoes the tune of yearning
For the times of the sun and light

It's the bird of the midnight moment
The swan of the brightest nights
And the song about her leaving
While the snow covers the ground

The brightest stars in darkness
Lighting up the stage of the night
On the soil so deeply frozen
Lying the bird with wings so white

Eyes full of the deepest sadness
Leaving now the final glance
On the landscape of her kingdom
On the stage of the final dance

This is the dance that I once learnt
The dance of the dying flames
The wistful song of the midnight bird
Will my wings carry me once again

To the place so far I leave
To the land of the whitest nights
It's the time to say the last goodbye
I'll take my final flight
