Southernmost sunset

Very close to fireplace through the window I look outside
the southernmost sunset brings some wisdom and a new light
from today there's a flame that increases in my veins
and there is a new hope that gives warmth to my bones

I feel like my old disgrace from today can become love
in my hands I hold my shame and I put it in the cold
from today I am new, don't know why but it's true
and there are many things I have to do in these months

New wishing starts with the mistletoe 
new prayers come from the little hopes 
and my wood is so generous 
and I feel so grateful 

New wishing starts with the mistletoe 
social year is going to fall 
and my wood is so generous 
and I feel so grateful 

In this house I am allowed to call my ancestors
in these days the shadows are shorter than the days before
darkness is the prelude of the new light just born
spirits please protect my world make it pure and full of warmth

New wishing starts with the mistletoe 
new prayers come from the little hopes 
and my wood is so generous 
and I feel so grateful 

New wishing starts with the mistletoe 
social year is going to fall 
and my wood is so generous 
and I feel so grateful
