Far up in the north,
The nights can be so dark.
Biting cold takes its toll on the body.
Grýla casts her spell,
In the depths of the mind,
Damaging happiness and the joy of life.
Hope and faith, don't you fail me now.
Hope and faith, come and warm my heart.
Hope and faith, fill me up with strength.
Hope and faith, shine down with bright light.
Hope and faith, give me back my joy.
Hope and faith in the dark of night.
People waste their time with triviality,
Leaving what's important for someone else.
My advice to you: Hide your head in the snow.
Try forgetting everything -
The things you should know.
