Hibjørnen

The sun keeps turning on its path
The forest's bear has crawled into its den
Dreaming sweetly on a mossy bed
Of buzzing bees in a flower field

The sun keeps turning straight in its orbit
Honey dreams tempt my mouth and my taste
The winds howl and the river lies still
I guess I’ll need to rest a bit more

Out there the ice sings its lullaby
Over land, over pond
Over the bear and over the bear
Out there the ice sings its lullaby
Over fields and meadows
Over dens and sleep beds

The sun keeps turning on its path
The day grows in a shrinking den
The bear blows and the maidens entice
The blackbird chirps like a chime clock

Out there the world sings its awakening song
Over land, over pond
Over the bear and over the bear
Out there the world sings its awakening song
Over fields and meadows
Out of the den and sleep beds
Over the bear and out
Out of the den and sleep beds
