Joikaboller

Drop

Vidda gold

Sápmi soul

Verse 1

Frost

On my teeth

White dust on the ground

Erling shows me how to throw the rope

Spinning circles in the bitter cold

I am learning

I am breathing

I am finally found

Baby reindeer nudging at my palm

Cold nose

Warm heart

Wet fur

No more alarm

I was sinking deep in the mud back home

But here the sky is wide

My brother grabs the drum

Chorus

Heu-ia-ho

I hear the mountains call my name

Heu-ia-ho

Nothing feels the same

High on the plateau where the wind blows free

Joikaboller in the pot for me

Heu-ia-ho

Heu-ia-ho

Drop

Vidda gold

Sápmi soul

Vidda gold

Sápmi soul

Verse 2

Steam

Rising up

Guksi full of broth

Salty meatballs on a wooden spoon

Eating good beneath the silver moon

I feel lucky

I feel steady

I feel the heavy weight just drop

Erling starts the chant

Low growl

High peak

Open throat

No need to speak

Watch me move my feet across the crust

Kautokeino keeps my spirit light

Life is beautiful

Life is simple

Life is just right

Chorus

Heu-ia-ho

I hear the mountains call my name

Heu-ia-ho

Nothing feels the same

High on the plateau where the wind blows free

Joikaboller in the pot for me

Heu-ia-ho

Heu-ia-ho

Bridge

Feet hitting the snow

Arms wide to the pines

My mind is clear for the first time

No more ghosts

No more grey

Just the white

Just the light

Just the way

Chorus

Heu-ia-ho

I hear the mountains call my name

Heu-ia-ho

Nothing feels the same

High on the plateau where the wind blows free

Joikaboller in the pot for me

Heu-ia-ho

Heu-ia-ho

Drop

Vidda gold

Sápmi soul

Vidda gold

Sápmi soul
