Long lies your path
My dear daughter
Over mountains and valleys
A distant land
Where I before
Roamed in pain
Seeking shelter on a barren sand
Roamed alone on a barren sand

If your way lies
Through low clouds on the heath
The fog will be lit by the glow of the moon
My tracks in the sand
Eternal trouble
Let them dissappear into the abyss
Dissapear into the dark abyss of the mind

Find your own way
Your journey will be more beautiful
Go your own way
Don't tread into my tracks
Follow not, my daughter, in my footsteps

Sometimes, nothing is seen
Neither mountains nor fjords
The anguish is complete
All is lost
But never lose your hope my child

Hold your head high
And you will see
All that was covered from your sight
Then every blizzard
Will be tender to you
And before long the sun will shine
Soon it will warm your footsteps
