Sweet, my love, like rain

That strokes our window pane

While inside you're pure

And smiling silence

warms and brightens my life



Harsh my love, like wheat,

That sighs in the summer heat

May the earth stand still

So still we are moving

Exposed to the sun and the wine



It's prickling in my nose

It's sweat upon my hands

It's the beauty of the rose

Deserted in the sands

All around my head

There's a cloud full of snowmen

Who sweep and smile

Once in a while



When you dance in my kingdom

The nobels are shocked

The chests of gold

Are already unlocked

My minstrels and court-fools

In harness and armour

Guard your way

Night and day

On and on

On and on
