Du, du, du, du, du-du
Du, du, du, du
Du, du, du, du, du-du
Somewhere, my love there will be songs to sing
Although the snow covers the hope of spring
Somewhere a hill blossoms in green and gold
Someday we'll meet again my love
Someday whenever the spring breaks through
You'll come to me out of the long ago
Warm as the wind, soft as the kiss of snow
Till then, my sweet, think of me now and then
God speed my love till you are mine again
Du, du,
du, du, du, du, du, du
Du, du, du, du, du, du, du, du, du
Lara my own, think of me now and then
God speed my love till you are mine again, mine again

Somewhere, my love there will be songs to sing
In some unknown place, my beloved, music will be played and sung
Although the snow covers the hope of spring
Even though spring's promise is hidden under the snow
Somewhere a hill blossoms in green and gold
There is a place where a hill is covered in bright green and gold
And there are dreams all that your heart can hold
In that place, you can dream of anything your heart desires
Someday we'll meet again my love
One day, my love, we will reunite
Someday whenever the spring breaks through
Whenever spring arrives and blooms
You'll come to me out of the long ago
You will appear to me from our distant past
Warm as the wind, soft as the kiss of snow
You'll be as warm as the wind and as soft as the snow's kiss
Lara my own, think of me now and then
Lara, my beloved, please remember me from time to time
God speed my love till you are mine again
May God bring you back to me quickly
You'll come to me out of the long ago
You will appear to me from our distant past
Warm as the wind soft as the kiss of snow
You'll be as warm as the wind and as soft as the snow's kiss
Till then my sweet think of me now and then
Until then, my love, please think of me occasionally
God speed my love 'til you are mine again
May God bring you back to me quickly
