I search the snow in vain
No footprints can be seen,
Where hand in hand we wandered
Through pastures oh so green.

I'll kiss the frozen meadows,
To pierce the ice and snow
With all my burning tears,
Until I finally reach the earth below.

Where can I find one blossom,
Where are the fields of green?
The flowers all have died away,
The pastures only pale.

Why can’t I take a keepsake,
to carry away with me?
When all my pains falls silent,
Who tells me then of her?

It seems my heart is frozen,
His image caught within:
If my heart ever melts,
His face will fade away.
