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

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
To the thousand candles
When they sing to 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
Descends towards the village
It's the time when everything is wise
And the shadow dances by the fire
But in every house
There is an air of celebration
Everywhere the table is ready
And you hear the same song

Long live the wind, long live the wind
Long live the winter wind
Oh, that goes whistling, blowing
In the tall green firs
Long live the wind, long live the time
Long live the winter time
Snowball and New Year's day
And happy New Year grandmother

Merry, merry Christmas
To the thousand candles
When they sing to 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
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 wind, long live the time
Long live the winter time
Snowball and New Year's day
And long live the winter wind
