Here's the English lyrics : The cold wind blows over the heather
The salt wind blows over the sea
The harsh wind blows down from the mountains
And blows a white Christmas to me.
The clean snow falls softly, falls softly
The snow crystals cover the moor
Let wanderers lost and grown weary
Find welcome at my cabin door.
So let there be no fear of darkness.
And let there be no fear of sea
Let the star guide the lost and forsaken
Safe over the moorlands to me. Of course in translation the poetry and the meter will be lost

I checked the old threads and that song was translated on this forum some years ago.

I'm still a learner, so be sure to get input from others.
