In Winter
Language: English
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
Language: Dutch (Nederlands) after the English
'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.
