Lyrics:

Orion the Hunter is rising in the sky
and underneath the fallen snow the frozen grasses lie.
The animals are sleeping safely deep within their dens
and people come together to gather with their friends
All on Yule, Yule, Yule, All on Yule, Yule, Yule.
We gather together all on Yule.

The sun has faded slowly ever since its summer’s height.
We’ve danced the evening dances for the dimming of the light.
And now it’s time at last to celebrate the sun’s rebirth.
The wheel of light is turning, returning to the earth
All on Yule, Yule, Yule, All on Yule, Yule, Yule.
The wheel of light’s returning all on Yule.
