This night is so cold
And the wind he rolled
Over our ground
And who yet goes around
Is an arrant fool
Or on the way for the love-bestowed
Who is worth every step on the road.
O,
Come down to me and be mine
My love he stands within the moon-shine
This night is so cold
So come down to me
For in the morrow it is too late for thee
The Aratari keep watch over thine oath
Fate is what locked away our troth
And for such I do not bear the key
Tonight there leads no way to me
O,
Come down to me and be mine
My love he stands within the moon-shine
This night is so cold
So come down to me
For in the morrow it is too late for thee
In a dream's blur
He finally comes down to her
And he kissed the beloved's cold brow
This night is so cold
Finally he came down and she kisses him
Within night's light so dim
O,
When wilst thou come down to me and be mine
My love thou standest within the moon-shine
This night is so cold
So come down to me
For in the morrow it is too late for thee
The dawn is at hand
And the wind rolls over our land
But the maiden lies within her love's embrace
Thanked the cold night and the wind for such grace
