eitt sinn tok eg tali gamlan totralegan mann
eg var a vappi nidri vid hofn - a bryggjunni stod hann
hann sagdi mer fra landi einu
on nu er eins og eitthvad hafi brostid inni mer
alta mira - aevintyralanid er
alta mira - thangad hugurinn mig ber
alta mira - aevintyralanid er
alta mira - thangad hugurinn mig ber
sa gamli sagdi mer thar solin saegraen vaeri a lit
i sjonum spekingslegar syntu kyrnar ut a hlid
hann seli sa i songleik i silfurtitum skom
um torgin toltu tifaelur i kjolfotum med blom
alta mira - aevintyralanid er
alta mira - thangad hugurinn mig ber
alta mira - aevintyralanid er
alta mira - thangad hugurinn mig ber
hae - alta mira - lalalalala-lala. one day i talked to old man in ragged clothes
i was walking near the harbour - he stood on the docks
he told me about the special country
and now it's like something has burst inside me
alta mira - is the adventure land
alta mira - my mind carries me there
alta mira - is the adventure land
alta mira - my mind carries me there
the old man told me that the sun was seagreen over there
in the sea there were wise cows swimming on the side
a seal was in a musical in silvercoloured shoes
in the squares roamed centipedes in flowery tuxedos
alta mira - is the adventure land
alta mira - my mind carries me there
alta mira - is the adventure land
alta mira - my mind carries me there
hey - alta mira - lalalalala-lala.
