Far up in the north, the nights can be so dark
Biting cold takes its toll on the body
Grýla casts her spell in the depths of the mind
Damaging happiness and the joy of life

Hope and faith, don’t you fail me now
Hope and faith, come and warm my heart
Hope and faith, shine down with bright light
Hope and faith, give me back my joy
Hope and faith, in the dark of night

People waste their time with triviality
Leaving what’s important for someone else
My advice to you: Hide your head in the snow
Try forgetting everything – the things you should know
