On the long road
All white with white snow,
An old man advances
With his cane in hand.
And up there, the wind
That whistles in the branches,
Blows him the romance
That he sang as a little child:

Chorus:
Long live the wind, long live the wind,
Long live the winter wind
That goes whistling, blowing
In the tall green firs...Oh!
Long live the time, long live the time,
Long live the winter time
Snowball and New Year's day
And happy New Year grandmother...
Merry, merry Christmas with a thousand candles,
When they sing towards the sky
The bells of the night; Oh!
Long live the wind, long live the wind,
Long live the winter wind
That brings back to the old children
Their memories of yesterday...

And the old man goes down to the village,
It's the time when everything is wise
And the shadow dances around the fire.
But in every house there is a festive air,
Everywhere the table is ready
And you hear the same song:

Chorus:
Long live the wind, long live the wind,
Long live the winter wind
That goes whistling, blowing
In the tall green firs...Oh!
Long live the time, long live the time,
Long live the winter time
Snowball and New Year's day
And happy New Year grandmother...
Merry, merry Christmas with a thousand candles,
When they sing towards the sky
The bells of the night, Oh!
Long live the wind, long live the wind,
Long live the winter wind
Snowball and New Year's day
And happy New Year grandmother!
Long live the winter wind!
