Translation of the song lyrics Fjall - Rökkurró

Fjall (original)

Hann faldi sig í fjallinu
fjarri gömlu lifi
fylgdist með
hvernig hans minning hvarf.
Hann fann hvar efinn greip í hann
óttinn sló hann niður
illa særður af sektarkennd.
Hann reyndi að gleyma
hann reyndi að gleyma
en það sat svo fast
hann vildi snúa aftur
hann vildi öllu breyta
en hann var fastur.
Dimman myndir sóttu að
orðir eltu hann líka
bergmáluðu í fjöllunum.
Það litla þrek en eftir var
óðum yrði þrotum
örmagna
hann fann enga leið
Hann reyndi að gleyma
hann reyndi að gleyma
en það sat svo fast
hann vildi snúa aftur
hann vildi öllu breyta
en hann var fastur.
Vinur,
horfðu í átt og þú munt sjá
hvert fuglarrin fljúga og allt verður bjart.

Fjall (translation)

He hid in the mountains
away from the old life
watched
how his memory disappeared.
He found where the doubt gripped him
the fear struck him down
badly wounded by guilt.
He tried to forget
he tried to forget
but it was so stuck
he wanted to return
he wanted to change everything
but he was stuck.
Dark pictures attended
words followed him too
echoed in the mountains.
That little endurance but was left
would become swollen
exhausted
he found no way
He tried to forget
he tried to forget
but it was so stuck
he wanted to return
he wanted to change everything
but he was stuck.
Friend,
look in the direction and you will see
where the birds fly and everything will be bright.
