Elle Songtext

von Mari Boine

And so the spring river opened up again
And so we let ourselves drift with the flood
The night of ice had to give in
My dearest son of the wind
Surely I flew with the bluethroat
Surely I danced with the northern light
In the strongest of breath we exhaled as one
My dearest son of the wind
The lips of the silenced people bursted out in speech
The stream of words once again were flowing
Over the frozen riverbanks when we finally came together
My dearest son of the wind
When you're walking alongside the reindeer-herd...
When you guard the reindeer-oxen with the great antlers...
All of the horizon comes alive and starts to move
My dearest son of the wind
