Sámi lyrics:

Jearrat biekkas manin dat bossu
jearrat manin jogat golget
jearrat biekkas manin lasttat gahččet
manin geassi
manin skábma

Iige gullo earágo biegga šuvvá
Iige gullo go biekka šuvvan
Iige gullo earágo biegga šuvvá
Iige gullo go biekka šuvvan

Čalmmiid meaddil
oainnuid ráidu
eallima vuosttaš suoibo lávkkit
unna suorbmažat láibume eatni čiččiid
vuosttaš bánit
vuosttaš sánit
rávis olmmožin rahpaseapmi
oaidnit šat earágo olles agi fuola
ja sii geat eai šat vájalge earágo muittus
ievttás máilmmi jávkan guolbaniid

Iige gullo earágo biegga šuvvá
Iige gullo go biekka šuvvan

Jearrat biekkas manin dat bossu
jearrat manin lottit girdet
jearrat biekkas manin lasttat gahččet
manin geassi
manin skábma

Iige gullo earágo biegga šuvvá
Iige gullo go biekka šuvvan
Iige gullo earágo biegga šuvvá
Iige gullo go biekka šuvvan


English lyrics:

To ask the wind
Why it blows
Why the stream flows
Why the leaves fall
Why the summer
Why the dark time, skábma

The answer you get is the wind
All you hear is its whisper
The answer you get is the wind
All you hear is its sighs

In your mind’s eye
Visions cascade
Life’s first wavering steps
Small fingers caress
Mother’s soft breasts
First teeth
First words
Soon maturity’s burdens
Leaden cares and memories tell
Of all that is gone to yesterday

The answer you get is the wind
All you hear is its whisper

To ask the wind
Why it blows
Why the stream flows
Why do leaves fall
Why the summer
Why the dark time, skábma

The answer you get is the wind
All you hear is its whisper
The answer you get is the wind
All you hear is its sigh
