Oassi Mus
Oassi mus álo ohcala
muohttaga silben duovdagiidda
gos jiekŋanásttit, ritnon duottarsoagit
njuoras njávkkastat, geahppa salastat
Oassi mus álo vuorddaša
vuoigŋat sisa daid duovdagiid
Ganjalhelmmot jeđđehusa skálvviin
Muohtagokčasa siste vuoiŋŋastan
Oassi mus dego

A Part of Me (translated by Pekka Sammalahti)
A part of me always longs for
The snow-silvered expanses
Where ice gems, rime-clad mountain birches
Gentle brush, light embrace
A part of me always awaits
To inhale these expanses
Tear pearls on consoling snow drifts
Under the snow cover I find my rest
A part of me
Like snow crust of steel
A part of me
Like powder snow
