Eira & Rune - The Colours of the Aurora Borealis

[INSTRUMENTAL INTRO — Sámi goavddis + guoyla] [FEMALE VOCAL — NORMAL] (Verse 1)] Far above the frozen world, the charged winds rise, Particles collide and spark across the skies. Green and violet rivers form their glowing lines, The aurora borealis waking in its signs. [MALE VOCAL — HIGH] (Pre-Chorus)] Light born from storms where the sun breathes fire, Racing through the dark on an unseen wire. Drawn by the Earth where the magnets turn, Painting the space where the cold stars burn. [DEEP MALE VOCAL — YOIK in Northern Sámi] (Yoik Verse 1)] “Ee-loi, ae-loi, guovssahas rávdnje, Čuovgga čuorvus mielde, máttaráhkká giehta. Ee-loi, ae-loi, guovssahas dálvá, Luonddu searvvi čuovgga, vuoigna sáhkku.” [INSTRUMENTAL — Fávru melodic break] [🌌 CHORUS — ALL THREE VOICES TOGETHER] [(Male English + Female English + Deep Male Sámi Yoik interwoven)] [FEMALE VOCAL — HIGH] When the Northern Lights call me on, I follow where their bright waves shine beyond. [MALE VOCAL — NORMAL] Through the frost, through the storm’s in the night, They carry me upward into new light. [DEEP MALE VOCAL — YOIK in Northern Sámi] “Hei-loi, guovssahas, Mun válddán čuovgga mielde.” [FEMALE + MALE TOGETHER] Every flame that climbs the sky Lifts my spirit as it soars so high. [DEEP MALE VOCAL — YOIK interjection] “Ae-loi, guovssahas!” [ALL THREE VOICES — FINAL CHORUS LINE] When Aurora calls me again to home, I rise knowing I’m not alone within her glow. [MALE VOCAL — NORMAL] (Verse 2) Oxygen ignites in green when the charged winds swirl, Nitrogen flares purple in a silent whirl. Magnetic currents trace each winding beam, A natural wonder shaped like a dream. [DEEP MALE VOCAL — YOIK in Northern Sámi] (Yoik Verse 2)] “Yo-hoi, ae-loi, guovssahas geassi, Čuovgga luotta addá min bálvvos doaivva. Yo-hoi, ae-loi, guovssahas čiehka, Mun gullan du vuoimmi okto.” [DUET — FEMALE + MALE] (Pre-Chorus 2)] Male: A message glowing from the solar winds, Female: A sign that every ending always mends. Both: Written above us in the shifting light, A guiding promise in the longest night. [INSTRUMENTAL — Goavddis + electronic pulse] [🌌 CHORUS — ALL THREE VOICES (REPEAT with variation)] [FEMALE VOCAL — HIGH] When the Northern Lights call me on, I follow where their flowing colors run. [MALE VOCAL — NORMAL] Through the frost, through the storm-torn air, They carry me upward, lifting every care. [DEEP MALE VOCAL — YOIK] “Ae-loi, guovssahas, Mun geavvá du čuovgga.” [FEMALE + MALE TOGETHER] Every glow that fills the sky Lifts my heart as the moments pass by. [DEEP MALE VOCAL — YOIK INTERJECTION] “Hei-loi!” [ALL THREE VOICES] When Aurora borealis calls me home, I finally know I’m never alone. [DEEP MALE VOCAL — YOIK BRIDGE] “Hei-loi, guovssahas, Buorit beaivi boahtá. Čuovgga mielde, Mun manan ođđa geađgin.” [FEMALE VOCAL — HIGH] (Final Refrain — bright and hopeful) When the darkness settles on the silent land, A shimmer rises where the cold winds stand. The Aurora gathers all the colors wide And shows that even night has light inside. So as the sky begins to glow once more, I step into the dawn I’ve been waiting for. [OUTRO — Goavddis, guoyla, faint wind]
