Lyrics:

In winter fire is beautiful
Beautiful like a song
In winter snow is beautiful
All of the winter long

But you, little son, come safely home
Riding the tail of the wind
May you always come this safely home
In winter, fire and snow

The day gets dark uneasily
Darker and darker still
And you are gone to Carnevale
And I feel the winter chill

But you, little son, come safely home
Riding the tail of the wind
May you always come this safely home
In winter, fire and snow

In winter fire is beautiful
Beautiful like a song
In winter snow is beautiful
All of the winter long
All of the winter long
