Song lyrics
Dari mana keping salju di jendela?
Awan kelabu melintas di atas atap
Di mana tarian mereka bermula?
Dalam bayangan, aku masuk ke awan
Uap air tak tampak, juga tetes mungil
Di bagian dalam, cukup dingin
Butir es kecil mulai terbentuk
Di awan dingin, kristal es terbentuk
Air melekat, keping salju tumbuh
Gravitasi menariknya turun
Bila udara tetap dingin, salju pun tiba
Kristal mengumpulkan lebih banyak air
Enam lengan, bentuknya beragam
Keping berputar, terayun oleh angin
Makin besar, makin berat pula
Terlalu berat untuk tetap di atas
Di awan dingin, kristal es terbentuk
Air melekat, keping salju tumbuh
Gravitasi menariknya turun
Bila udara tetap dingin, salju pun tiba
Di perjalanan, keping tak mencair habis
Satu hinggap lembut di sarung tanganku
Di tangan hangat, mencair jadi tetes
Di awan dingin, kristal es terbentuk
Air melekat, keping salju tumbuh
Gravitasi menariknya turun
Bila udara tetap dingin, salju pun tiba
Kini kupahami perjalanannya
Satu keping berkilau, lalu jadi tetes
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
