00:00:29.600 --> 00:00:45.000
Sanctuary refrain, sanctuary remote.
Crystal light of the dawn, light rising over the world.

00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:58.900
I understand your age-old grief
Bialowieza Forest, Bialowieza Forest.

00:00:59.500 --> 00:01:14.120
I understand your age-old grief
Bialowieza Forest, Bialowieza Forest.

00:01:15.700 --> 00:01:29.500
Here is our long-forgotten family home.
And, having heard now and then the voice of ancestors calling,

00:01:29.500 --> 00:01:42.600
Like a grey little forest bird, from far-away centuries,
I fly to you, Bialowieza Forest.

00:01:43.600 --> 00:01:57.500
Like a grey little forest bird, from far-away centuries,
I fly to you, Bialowieza Forest.

00:02:22.430 --> 00:02:37.370
I make my way to the stream along an unmarked trail
Where the grasses are high, and the undergrowth thick.

00:02:37.370 --> 00:02:50.830
As deer from his knees, I drink thy holy
Spring of truth, Bialowieza Forest.

00:02:51.750 --> 00:03:05.600
As deer from his knees, I drink thy holy
Spring of truth, Bialowieza Forest.

00:03:07.200 --> 00:03:21.700
With my heart set aglow in a grove of tall birches,
I will take away with me, for the comfort of the living,

00:03:21.700 --> 00:03:34.600
Your cherished refrain, your miraculous refrain,
Bialowieza Forest, Bialowieza Forest.

00:03:35.900 --> 00:03:51.000
Your cherished refrain, your miraculous refrain,
Bialowieza Forest, Bialowieza Forest.

00:04:14.600 --> 00:04:34.000
Your cherished refrain, your miraculous refrain,
Bialowieza Forest, Bialowieza Forest.
