In winter, as the sun fades away, and the sky turns from gold into gray, the warmth of autumn has gone away as we greet the new winter day. In winter, as the moon shines so bright and the stars cast a silvery light, the ground lies hushed beneath a shroud of white, on this calm and still winter night Still, still, still, you can hear the falling snow. For all is hushed, the world is sleeping, as the stars their watch are keeping. Still, still, still, you can hear the falling snow. In winter, as the moon shines so bright and the stars cast a silvery light, the ground lies hushed beneath a shroud of white, on this calm and still winter night, this winter night. In winter.

's Winters, als de zon gaat verbleken en de lucht van goud naar grijs verkleurt, dan is de herfstwarmte verdwenen als wij de nieuwe winterdag begroeten. 's Winters, als de maan zo helder schijnt en de sterren een zilveren licht verspreiden, dan ligt de aarde onder een witte wade, in deze kalme en stille winternacht. Stil, stil, stil, je kunt de sneeuw horen vallen. Want alles is rustig, de wereld slaapt terwijl de sterren de wacht houden. Stil, stil, stil, je kunt de sneeuw horen vallen. 's Winters, als de maan zo helder schijnt en de sterren een zilveren licht verspreiden dan ligt de aarde onder een witte wade, in deze kalme en stille winternacht, deze winternacht 's Winters.
