Upon the frosty white tracts of Alaska I have built for you an igloo And lighted the fireplace of my feelings To be your last resort I spread my fine fur coat So that you can sleep on it While I remain furless There, tea has a distinct taste The hand clasp, a unique thrill And the closeness of breaths a different meaning In Alaska the night of lovers lasts longer And longer lasts the day of the skiers Who glide on the hillsides of purity There, in that naked whiteness It is futile to try to hide There, I'll be the only tree That you will wrap yourself around There are no coffee shops, there To meet and visit No set hours for meals Love, there, has a unique flavor With dried salmon It is as savory as caviar Eaten on the shores of warm seas There, I am the North Star The only Beauty Queen Amidst the white hills And among our friends The wild rabbits and pet dogs That cluster around us Romp and Play with us Enjoy the warmth of our love Pull us in sleds and sleighs And dash in the vast openness Unlimited by boundaries and horizon And take us around the statue Of a lover Standing there, frozen With his red hat Long has he awaited In the ice desert Perchance his sweetheart Will meet and melt him There, within the pure heart of Alaska You surprised me with a heart Pure like your heart That you have carved out of ice You caught a silvery fish To make warm broth for me With a distinct flavor There, in the desert of stark whiteness The sun's silver fingers Caress the ice curtains Making the snow crystals glitter and hum the symphony of abiding devotion We moved swiftly on hills of purity And hid our warm feelings inside our mittens We teased the flocks of penguin As they performed their courting rituals There were naughty bear cubs behind us And a raft of sea lions Exchanging hot kisses Whose warmth had been preserved By winter hibernation The elk bleat for us Their most beautiful songs As we occasionally stumble With a herd of deer Into ice valleys At times you would run ahead of me To pluck for me The first violet flower That smile at us From beneath the water There, in the Alaskan frost Indeed it is love's warmth That keeps us alive
