Here is the history of Leïla
Who went far all the way there
In the Nordic snow desert
Was dropped by her parents
Collected by Jampo of Lapland
She grows up close to him
Collected by Jampo of Lapland
She grows up close to him
And I want her in my arms
In very very cold surroundings
A Lapp with a pulk
Who slide in the woods
She's yours, Leïla
This girl has a delicate charm
In the icy mountains of snow
He learns the life of a Lapp
The most beautiful girl of the region
It was Leïla's sixteenth year
So Jampo decided
To introduce her to a handsome Lapp
But did not want him
Feeling too young for life
And I want her in my arms
In very very cold surroundings
A Lapp with a pulk
Who slide in the woods
She's yours, Leïla
This girl has a delicate charm
(I, Magdalena, want to say goodbye to my mom and my dad and my big brother, and to my grandmother in Skane and all the laughter and all the friends)
In her canoe, it went down
All the rapids of the countries
Without worrying about all of the dangers
She becomes an emancipated Lappish
Without worrying about what will be said
And that is how Leïla
Was the legend of a very cold country
And I want her in my arms
In very very cold surroundings
A Lapp with a pulk
Who slide in the woods
She's yours, Leïla
This girl has a delicate charm
She's yours, Leïla
This girl has a delicate charm
