Sommerfuggel i vinterland

I saw you yesterday on the street
When the city laid cold and big
I saw you were new to life
and I saw you were new in the north
and your mother carried a suitcase
with all her belongings
and you carried around her dream
of one day to be free
 
And you gave me a smile
butterfly in winter land
no one can take away
the colors you showed me
and may the dream you carry come true
butterfly in winter land
 
and your mother carries memories
of everything she left behind
she doesn't know whether she'll see again
the man they took one night
now she's holding on to your hand
she's making you nice and warm
she hopes you'll be welcome here, so the wounds one day can heal
 
And you gave me a smile
butterfly in winter land
no one can take away
the colors you showed me
and may the dream you carry come true
butterfly in winter land
 
I hope we take you in
I hope you won't have to be cold
I know you can give us color and laughter and life and and light
I saw you yesterday on the street
When the city laid cold and big
I saw you were new to life
and I saw you were new in the north
 
And you gave me a smile
butterfly in winter land
no one can take away
the colors you showed me
and may the dream you carry come true
butterfly in winter land
