The day will come
when he will return
stopping at your door.
Like once upon a time he will climb the steps
sure of being waited for.
What will you say when he enters
Looking for your face among others?
Afraid you will be, when he looks at you,
that he might find you changed.
Smile now, open the door for me now,
again it will be Christmas, you see I'm back.
And laugh now, open the door for me now,
with me you will laugh, now that I'm back.
Dust and wind
with him he will bring...
the scent of distant lands.
He who has seen the towns and cities
that you have only dreamed of,
who knows beyond the sea
how many things he left...
And you who have only waited
from the shadows will come out, spying on his face,
astonished at first seeing him.
Smile now, open the door for me now,
It will still be Christmas, you see I'm back.
And laugh now, open the door for me now,
You will laugh with me, now that I'm back.
