Lyrics
Silent nights
Reflecting on quiet and calm nights
Under the winter sky
Under the winter sky, setting the seasonal context
In the land of ice
Referring to a place characterized by cold temperatures
Where the snow is white
Describing the pristine snow-covered landscape
Silent nights
Repetition of the peaceful nights
And the northern breeze
Mentioning the cold northern wind
In the land of ice
Reiterating the setting in the icy land
Where my soul is free
Expressing a sense of liberation for the soul
...My land of ice
Emphasizing possession or connection to the icy land
Silent nights
Repetition of the serene nights
On my ancestors ground
Being on the ground of forefathers, a sense of heritage
In the land of ice
Revisiting the frozen landscape with historical significance
Where the hooves of Sleipnir pound
Referencing Sleipnir's hooves, a mythical creature from Norse mythology
Silent nights
Restating the calm nights and the solemn commitment
And the oath is sworn
Highlighting the importance of a sacred oath
In the land of ice
Reaffirming the icy land as the context for the commitment
As my son is born
Celebrating the birth of a son in this frigid realm
...My land of ice
Emphasizing personal connection and ownership of the icy land
Silent nights
Reiteration of the peaceful nights and the shadowy surroundings
Where all shadows lay
Describing a place where shadows exist
In the land of ice
Reaffirming the wintry landscape, now seemingly distant
Oh, so far away
Expressing a sense of longing for a faraway land
Silent nights
Repetition of the tranquil nights, now with visual reference
Where my eyes can see
Highlighting the ability to see clearly in this icy domain
In the land of ice
Reiterating the peace found in the land of ice
I shall rest in peace
Expressing the desire for eternal peace in this wintry realm
