Så vill jag bli [English translation]

A ice cold autumn wind blew inside me.

And the frost in my heart drew pearls to my cheeks.

And the cold penetrated out and hardened my skin.

And the skin became a fortress which no one could come in.

Then you stood in the crowd and stretched out your hand.

Like the North Star in the sky that guides in to land.

Like two stars meeting in space's infinity.

two fading lanterns on the seas's desolation.

And that which begins to harden, and evade love

begins to live and love ones' self again.

So I want to be like the Sun that warms your legs,

like the air and the Earth, like the life they give you.

So I want to be like the rain when your path feels hard,

and which can moisten the ground in front of you when you walk.
