Long lies your path My dear daughter Over mountains and valleys A distant land Where I before Roamed in pain Seeking shelter on a barren sand Roamed alone on a barren sand If your way lies Through low clouds on the heath The fog will be lit by the glow of the moon My tracks in the sand Eternal trouble Let them dissappear into the abyss Dissapear into the dark abyss of the mind Find your own way Your journey will be more beautiful Go your own way Don't tread into my tracks Follow not, my daughter, in my footsteps Sometimes, nothing is seen Neither mountains nor fjords The anguish is complete All is lost But never lose your hope my child Hold your head high And you will see All that was covered from your sight Then every blizzard Will be tender to you And before long the sun will shine Soon it will warm your footsteps
