Schneekönigin English translation
von Subway to Sally

Her beauty makes me shiver
Her paleness makes me silent
Outside, the frost passes by with heavy steps
She wears ice upon her lips
Frost creeps high upon the windowpanes
And I see the Queen’s ship at the quay
She has summoned me to her
Has come to take me away
To her realm beyond the seas, deep in the snow
And no matter how much I fear
The land of ice and silence
Tonight the Queen’s ship sets out to sea

And the compass points north
I return to you, my Snow Queen
For the compass points toward the North Pole
The crystal lies deep within the heart
That beats only for my Snow Queen


She has summoned me to her
Has come to take me away
Tonight I rest within her arms
Forgetting settles over me again
Like a veil descending upon me
My winter bride brings me back home

And the compass points north
I return to you, my Snow Queen
For the compass points toward the North Pole
The crystal lies deep within the heart
That beats only for my Snow Queen

I will now board her ship
Pray to the ice saints
And then lay my head in her lap
Snow falls deep into my heart
She will never let me go

And the compass points north
Where I am at home
I return to you
My Snow Queen


For the compass points north
I return to you, my Snow Queen
For the compass points toward the North Pole
The crystal lies deep within the heart
That beats only—
The crystal lies deep within the heart
That beats only for my Snow Queen
