alfur ut ur hol

dag eftir dag

einsamall a hol

naunginn undarlegi

thar sem hannin gol

enginn vill um hann vita

og their benda hvar kjannin fer

han thraukar samt afram sjalfur

veizt um alf ut a hol

hann ser dyrdlega sol

og hans augu sja meir

thau sja heim

falinn theim

bidd'ann um hjalp

tha kemur han fljott

hann sem a thusund raddir

hvislar sannleikan hljott

enginn vill hlusta a hann

eda hljodin i leyndum song

hann virdist samt ekki vita

veizt um alf ut a hol. enginn vil lita til hans

i kofanum sudur med sjo

han thraukar samt afram sjalfur

veizt um alf ut a hol. enginn vill hlusta a hann

og their benda hvar kjaninn fer

han thraukar samt afram sjalfur

veizt um alf ut a hol.]

day after day

alone on a hill

the strange guy

where the rooster crowed

no one wants to know about him

and they point where he goes

he still holds out alone

do you know about a fool on a hill

he can see a precious sun

and his eyes see more

they see a world

a hidden world

ask him for help

he comes quickly

he that has thousand voices

whisper the truth quickly

no one wants to listen to him

or the sound in a secret song

which he doesn't know at all

do you know about a fool on a hill. no one wants to see him

in the hut in the south with a lake

he still holds out alone

do you know about a fool on a hill. no one wants to listen to him

and they point where he goes

he still holds out alone

do you know about a fool on a hill.
