| Kaldur dropi er eyga hjá tær
| A cold drop is an eye on the toes
|
| Aldri tú finnur títt rósufar
| As you age, you will often find roses
|
| Leita og leita í alla nátt —
| Search and search all night -
|
| Slapst tú ikki inn um fjallagátt
| You did not escape through the mountain gate
|
| Droymir teg burtur til dreymanna hav, —
| Droymir teg burtur til dreymanna hav, -
|
| I rósufari tú flýgur avstað
| In the rose you fly away
|
| Bliðastu tónar og fagrastu sprund
| The brightest tones and the most beautiful crack
|
| Rura teg, rura teg, blídligt í blund
| Rura teg, rura teg, gentle in a nap
|
| Kveistra, kveistra nú tárini vekk
| Squeeze, now shed tears
|
| Kveistra, kveistra nú tárini vekk
| Squeeze, now shed tears
|
| Tú skalt fáa gull upp í fullan sekk
| You shall get gold in a full sack
|
| Dreymar bera teg upp um fjøll
| Dreams carry people up mountains
|
| Leiða teg so aftur í heimahøll
| Lead teg so back to the home cave
|
| Hví skuldi tú friðleysur leita so fjart?
| Why should you seek restlessness so far away?
|
| Lær teg at elska, tað, sum tú sært! | Lær teg at elska, tað, sum tú sært! |
