Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the...Wait, what? Uh...

Hello my dear readers for this special blog!

Yes, it´s true, the words of the title were the first ones I thought at this morning.

Because when I looked out of my windows, I rubbed my eyes in disbelief at the sight of the first fallen snow of the year!

And regarding the fact, that we had no snow at all last year and the temperatures of the last weekend (nearly 25 degree centigrade), it´s a very very special event for my hometown Chemnitz!

So please let me share this awesome feeling with you (of course my way) with a very special german winter-song!

Here´s for you:
Unheilig - Winterland

And here for you the lyrics with translation:

German:

Streift die Stille durch die Wälder
Im Traum aus Eis und Licht
Liegt der Schnee auf Baum und Tälern
Streicheln Flocken mein Gesicht
Sehnt mein Herz sich nach der Heimat
Nach Zuhause, Schutz und Halt
Rückt das Leben näher zusammen
Spiegeln Träume sich im Winterland

Schneit der Himmel weisse Sterne
Werden Wünsche wieder wahr
Liegt die Welt im Silberschnee
Fängt die Zeit zum Träumen an

Die Bäume stehen in tiefer Stille
Der Wind das Astwerk hebt
Die Kinder lachen
Auf Seen und Bächen
Der Frost Schneeblumen an die Fenster weht
Schenken Fremde sich ein Lächeln
Reichen Menschen sich die Hand
Kommt die Welt sich etwas näher
Spiegeln Träume sich im Winterland

Schneit der Himmel weisse Sterne
Werden Wünsche wieder wahr
Liegt die Welt im Silberschnee
Fängt die Zeit zum Träumen an

English:

Roams silence through the forests
In a dream made of ice and of light
Snow covers trees and valeys
Fluffs are caressing my face
Yearns my heart for a homeland
For a home, protection and anchorage
Life cuddels together
Reflecting dreams on the winter´s scenery

White stars fluttering from the heavens
As dreams are going to become true
The world covered in silver snow
A time to dream begins

Trees are resting in deep silence
Wind lifts branches
Children are laughing
on lakes and on streams
Snowflowers on the windows, blown by frost
Strangers gifting smiles each other
Peoples taking each other´s hands
The world cuddling together
Reflecting dreams on the winter´s scenery

White stars fluttering from the heavens
As dreams are going to become true
The world covered in silver snow
A time to dream begins

Singing along with a cup of hot chocolate in his hand...

Your Ivo

PS: To say something to my stories: I´m sorry for being so slow lately. I´m still working on the next episiode of Halcyon Days and hope to have it finished soon...
After that, I´ll start creating the next part of Tale of Dreams and Nightmares.
