Lasta-arvi vuovttain
Golle čáhci čalmmiin
Gávttiin čiŋaduvvon
riggodagain giktá
Bákti gohčču namain
Luđiin fille fárrui
geamadagas dánsut
liegga geasseija
Uldá niktá
Gaskaija riemut
geasis ii leat loahppa
Jus seibbiid it leat fuobmán
silba ii šat gáju
Uldá niktá

Rain of leaves in the hair
water of gold in the eyes
Dressed in gákti (sami dress)
Tempting with richness
The mountain calls your name
luring you with yoik
to dance in the haze
warm summernights
Uldá allures
Midsummernight feast
summer has no end
if you haven´t noticed the tail
silver will not save you
Uldá allures

Lihkku ii boađe okto
Niehku ealáska
Albmái ii loktan
Losses gálvvuin
Lihkku Niehku –Niehku Lihkku
Váibmui gullá albmi
Áibmu viiddida
Váibmui áibmu – Áibmu váibmui
Sávvat oažžu álo
Jurdda dahká olu
Vuordit agibeaivve
Eallát go rievddat
Vuordit eallát- eallát vuordit

Fortune doesn´t come alone
Dreams are given life
You won´t reach the sky
with a heavy load
Dream of fortune
To the heart belongs the sky
Air creates space
Air to the heart
There is always hope
Thoughts do the work
we forever wait
we start living when we change
We wait for life

Deattaša mu geahppáid
Njuikkoda mu varas
Vuojada mu čoavjjis
Huikkaša mu siste
sakŋida ja sakŋit

Váimmu čuovga
Čalmmiiide lea báhkka
jurdagiidda darvánan
seahkana buot visot
Váimmu čuovga
Jorada mu oaivvis
čerggiidedje juolggit

Váimmu čuovga
Deattaša mu geahppáid
Njuikkoda mu varas
Vuojada mu čoavjjis

Pressure on my lungs
bouncing in my blood
swimming in my belly
Screaming inside
itching and itching
world is getting lighter
Heartlight
Hot on my eyes
stuck in my thoughts
stirring everything
Heartlight
Circeling in my head
no feeling in my legs
good taste in my mouth
Heartlight
Pressure on my lungs
bouncing in my blood
swimming in my belly

Gatnjalat váimmus
Juohke ovttas muitalus
Ráhkisvuođa muitalus
Ganjal juohke hávvái go ráhkisteimme
Oainnán daid čalmmiin
Geahčan dego don dat livččet
Gatnjalat váimmus
bohtet seamma sajis go don
Gatnjalat váimmus
Juohke okta oassi
Oassi ráhkisvuođas
Ganjal juohke hávvái go filtiime
Eai dat bisán
Ovdal váibmu guorrana
Gosa don manat
Mu váibmu čuovvola

Tears from the heart
each of them tell a story
a story of love
a tear for each time we loved
I see them in my eyes
look at them like they are you
the tears from the heart
where you are too
Tears from the heart
each of them a piece
a piece of love
a tear for each time we failed
They won’t stop pouring
until my heart is empty
cause where you go
my heart will follow

Mu váibmu lea rahkadan gova dus
Duohkandahkko jus mieđihat
Mu dovddut leat hoigan buot eará eret
earret du
Mu niegut leat huksen du perfektan
Duohtandahkko jus mieđihat
Seamma jurdda, seamma duohtavuohta
Lea munno, de
dat šaddá duohtan jus boađát
dat šaddá duohtan jus mieđihat
Agibeaivi ii álgge ovdal don leat dás
Mu ruoktu balvvaid bajábealde
Guoskkastagas loktanan
Mu jurdda fievrrida mu ruoktot
Váilot don vai šaddá munno
Ii šatta duohtan jus it guoskka
Ii šatta duohtan albma áimmus
Agibeavi ii álgge ovdal don leat dás
Dahke duohtan
dat šaddá duohtan go don boađát
dat šaddá duohtan go mieđihat
Agibeaivi ii álgge ovdal don leat dás

My heart has made a picture of you
it becomes true if you agree
My feelings have pushed everything else aside
except you
My dreams have built you perfectly
it becomes true if you agree
same thoughts, same truth
it is ours, and
It becomes true if you come
It becomes true if you agree
Forever doesn´t begin before you arrive
My home is over the clouds
your touch makes me ellavate
My thoughts will bring me home
you are missing to make it ours
It doesn´t become true if you don´t touch
It doesn´t become true in the real world
Forever doesn´t begin before you arrive
We make the truth
It becomes true when you come
It becomes true when you agree
Forever doesn´t begin before you arrive

Night treasure
Always ready
I get what I need
what I want
Everything is how it is supposed to be
this is the right thing

Gos bođii diet luohti maid munnje juiget
Gos bođii diet luohti maid munnje bidjet
Silbajohka mii čilge buot
Mo gávdnet dien balvva maid munnje vižžet
Litna vielgat go girdilin
Njielasáttu
Gos iđii diet dolla maid munnje čájehit
Šerres rukses go mannen galmmas
Njielasáttu
Lean njiellasan sáddui
Dieđán lean boahtán riekta go don munnje
sávat bures boahtima njielasáddui

Where did the yoik you yoiked to me come from
Where did the yoik you gave me come from
Silver river explains it all
How did you find that cloud you brought me
Soft white when I soar
Quicksand
Where did the fire you showed me come from
Bright red when I swoon
Quicksand
I am stuck in quicksand
I know I have come to the right place
because you welcome me into quicksand

Vuoiŋŋa jaskesvuođa

Breathe the quietness
Breathe warmth
stretch with peaceful sound
Let the wind take away
the smoke cleanses
through your eyes it hits your soul
Follow the light
Follow the light wherever it goes
Follow the light

Ráfálaččat čohkkán dás
Dolla buollá
Muorat skeikot hilaid sis
suovva dánsu
Jávri jaskat mu speajal
Biegga šurrá
Jokŋalasttat mu seaŋga
Rássi čikŋan
Čábbáseamos báiki
Násttit geaidnočuovggaid sajis
Lottit šláttardit
Suovva dolas spiide čalmmiin
iige eksosa
Čábbáseamos báiki
Geahča mo bahčavuohta jávká čázis
Oainnát mo jávká áimmus
Dán ilmmis ii ceavzze bahá
Almmi balvvain muitalus
dego sátta
Bálggis asfáltta haga
Ná lea láhččon
Čábbáseamos báikkis

Peacefully I sit here
Fire is burning
Wood is crackling in the embers
Smoke is dancing
A still lake is my mirror
The wind is howling
Lingonberry heathers my bed
Flowers my decor
The most beautiful place
Stars in the place of street-lamps
Birds are gossiping
Smoke from the fire burns the eyes
instead of exhaust
The most beautiful place
Look how everything foul dissapears in the water
look how it dissapears in the air
In this world nothing bad survives
Clouds in the sky tell a story
like a program
Path without asphalt
This is how it is
in the most beatiful place
