Language version lyrics
Why do white flakes dance past my window?
A gray cloud drifts above the roofs
Where did their turning journey begin?
In my mind, I fly into the cloud
Unseen water vapor drifts with tiny drops
Deep inside, the cloud is cold enough
Tiny specks of ice begin to form
In the cold cloud, a crystal forms
Water joins it; a snowflake grows
Gravity pulls it toward the ground
If the air stays cold, it lands as snow
The crystal gathers even more water
Six branches, yet their shapes can vary
Flakes spin and sway upon the wind
They grow still larger, heavier
Too heavy now, they cannot stay aloft
In the cold cloud, a crystal forms
Water joins it; a snowflake grows
Gravity pulls it toward the ground
If the air stays cold, it lands as snow
It does not melt away along the path
One settles softly on my glove
My warm palm melts it to a water drop
In the cold cloud, a crystal forms
Water joins it; a snowflake grows
Gravity pulls it toward the ground
If the air stays cold, it lands as snow
Now I know its journey from the cloud
One flake shines, then turns into a drop
