Translation of the song lyrics Svíf Birki - Olof Arnalds

Svíf Birki (original)

Teygir rætur þínar djúpt, teigar
Nærigu úr hreinni mold
Umbreytir
Alltaf ljós til lifandi
Dræfið upp vekur semm draumur frá óræðu landi
Vængir þínir tifa ótt, bera
Þig svo yfir haf og land
Fræjum sáir
Alltaf má uppgræda andann
Iðrænar ystu marka handan
Opnaðu augun, líttu á
Leitandi higa minn
Skólaus ég hlæ í frelsi hjá
Stofni þinum, laufbotinum
Dáldið intens, dáldið gott hjarta
Galdur, rjómi, ljómalind
Þeytt, sem óþeytt, þreytist ekki á bragði þínu
Siendurskilgreini áhrifin af þinni brýnu

Svíf Birki (translation)

Stretches your roots deep, stretches
Nourishing from pure soil
Converter
Always light to live
The drive up evokes a dream from an unspeakable land
Your wings are full of fear, you are uplifted
You then across the ocean and land
Seeds sown
The spirit can always be revived
Industrial outer limits beyond
Open your eyes, look
Seeking my higa
Without school, I laugh at freedom
Your stem, the petiole
Slightly intense, slightly good-hearted
Magic, cream, radiance
Whipped, untouched, does not tire of your taste
Define the effects of your urgency
