...under the ice
in the dark and cold night
under the moon
in the dying sunlight...

you're born here
but you die here every year
just to defy
the cold winter

You are an arctic flower
so fragile, yet so strong
In the northern realm
you fight for your life
And as the seasons pass by
you live and die
Soon will your time come
We'll watch your bloom
As the winter frost is gone
You are born again
Bring the joy to us
to the land of despair

The sun rises,
the snow begins to melt
and soon we forget
the time of the twilight

This is the springtime
Flower, this is your time
Rise from beyond the ice
and give us delight

And so the spring came
you rejoiced among the others
For a little while
the sorrow was lifted away
For a little while
life rejoiced again

Inside the human mind
the thoughts were warm
For a little while
was love abloom
I almost thought that the grief
was gone forever

...the first snow...
...your death...
...icy grave...

Sweet memories
of the spring gone
come back to my mind
as I watch you wither
How could I survive without you,
you arctic beauty?

Farewell sweet flower
remember to be strong
or on the next spring
I fear my sorrow won't go
And as the snow melts again
I am waiting for you!
