Lyrics (English):
You flew in from the dawn
Such a sight when you came into view
You stretched your white wings
Careful embrace
Swan, my swan
Dive, heat my blood
Swan, my swan
Before dawn breaks
You flew in from the dawn
Such a sight when you came into view
You whispered softly
Youthful caress
Swan, my swan
Dive, heat my blood
Swan, my swan
Before dawn breaks
Bring out my yearning
The longing of the lonely
Lyrics (Sámi):
Iđitguovssus girdilit
Hávski lei go iđistit
Vilges dolggiid geigestit
Várrogasat salastit
Njukča, njuvččažan
Buokčal, ligge varan
Njukča, njuvččažan
Ovdal iđitroađi
Iđitguovssus girdilit
Hávski lei go iđistit
Jaskatvuođain savkalit
Nuorravuođain njávkalit
Njukča, njuvččažan
Buokčal, ligge varan
Njukča, njuvččažan
Ovdal iđitroađi
Riegádahte áibbašeami
Oktovuođa váillaheami
