illgresi

sigur ros

thu sefur alveg til hadegis

thu deyrd en lifnar vid

laufblodin breyta um lit

thu finnur til - ferd a faetur

iklaeddur regnkapu - thu heldur ut i skammdegid

thu rifur ur hjartaraetur sem thu tredur a

med hendur i vosum

med nog kominn

i votu grasinu geng thangad til

thad skin a mig i gegnum trjagreinar

lit upp og lifna vid - laufblodin breyta um lit

vid finnum yl

festum raetur

afklaedum ur hjortum

vid holdum ut i godan dag

grodursetjum og gefum lif og vid springum ut

med hendur ur vosum i mold rota

nuna fjarlaegjum vid hugsun ljota

timinn lagar allt

gefur lif

kyndir upp bal

logar salar

ekki lengur kalt

hef aftur lif

lifnar min sal

heiminn mala

you sleep till noon

you die but come to life

the leaves change their colours

you ache - get up and dress

in a raincoat - you keep going into the bleak day

you tear out heart-roots that you stamp on

with your hands in your pockets

been through enough

walking in wet grass until

it shines on me through the branches

i look up and revive - the leaves change their colours

we feel warmth

create roots

undress our hearts

we head towards a good day

we plant and we give life and we blossom

with our hands out of the pockets in earth you delve

now we remove an ugly thought

time will heal all things

gives life

kindles fires

flames of the soul

no longer cold

start life again

my soul comes to life

paints the world
