The Long Night

Stirring snow with a spoon
The long night is coming
Why aren't you sleeping, silly?
Your neighbors, the polar bears, are sleeping,
Go to sleep, too, sweetheart.

We are floating on an ice floe
Like on a sailing ship
Across the gray rough seas
And, all night long,
Your neighbours, the star bears, are shining
for the far away ships.

Stirring snow with a spoon
The long night is coming
Why aren't you sleeping, silly?
Your neighbors, the polar bears, are sleeping,
Go to sleep, too, sweetheart.
