Lyrics[]
In all my wanderings around the world
I met so many kinds of pretty girls
All of them like precious stones
Sparkling on their own
I found them fiery, tender, bright and sweet
In Rome and Paris, Lisbon and Madrid
But one girl remains for me
Still a real mystery
I’ve been thinkin’ about you
Northern girl, Lady Ice – how can I melt you, baby?
Northern girl, never cries – tough like a pearl
Northern girl, frosty eyes, I wanna melt you, baby
Northern girl
We drink the sunset like ruby wine
But still you keep your head and hold the line
Even when you look aside
I admire your pride
We stand together closely, skin to skin
You look forbidding as the Snow Queen
But I hear your secret call
‘Cause your fortress has no walls
I’m still thinkin’ about you
Northern girl, Lady Ice – how can I melt you, baby?
Northern girl, never cries – tough like a pearl
Northern girl, frosty eyes, I wanna melt you, baby
Northern girl
Northern girl, Lady Ice – how can I melt you, baby?
Northern girl, never cries – tough like a pearl
Northern girl, frosty eyes, I wanna melt you, baby
Northern girl
And when you ask me tonight
Why I search for love so, so far
I will hold you and whisper
You’re my Northern Star, guiding star, baby
Northern girl, Lady Ice – how can I melt you, baby?
Northern girl, never cries – tough like a pearl
Northern girl, frosty eyes, I wanna melt you, baby
Northern girl
Northern girl, Lady Ice – how can I melt you, baby? (You’re my northern girl)
Northern girl, never cries – tough like a pearl (You’re my guiding star)
Northern girl, frosty eyes, I wanna melt you, baby (Northern girl)
Northern girl
