I saw you yesterday on the street
When the city laid cold and big
I saw that you were new in life
I saw you were new in the north
And your mother was carrying a suitcase
With everything she owned in
And you went carrying her dream
Of someday becoming free

And you gave me a smile
Butterfly in winterland
No one can take from you
The colors you showed me
Oh, must the dream you carry become true
Butterfly in winterland

And your mother carriеs the memories
Of еverything she left
She doesn't know if she will meet again
Him that they took a night
Now she is holding your hand
Making you warm and nice
She hopes you are welcome here
So the scars will someday heal

And you gave me a smile
Butterfly in winterland
No one can take from you
The colors you showed me
Oh, must the dream you carry become true
Butterfly in winterland

I hope we recieve you
I hope you don't have to freeze
I know you can give us color
And laughter and life and light
I saw you yesterday on the street
When the city laid cold and big
I saw you were new in life
I saw you were new in the north

And you gave me a smile
Butterfly in winterland
No one can take from you
The colors you showed me
Oh, must the dream you carry become true
Butterfly in winterland
