Translation of the song lyrics Góðan daginn - Sigur Rós, Georg Holm, Kjartan Sveinsson

Góðan daginn (original)

Ég sendi sólina á þig
Síðla sumardags
Grær hitastig
og greikkar göngulag
Skín í andlitin hlý
Það er alvöru dag
Burt burt með þig ský
Já, burtu út á haf
Þar sem sjórinn flæðir
og salt ísinn bræðir
Við spilum endalaust
Burtu nú afklæðum
Sárin opin græðum
Við spilum endalaust
Sólin stígur á
Kveikir á, sprengir ljósaperur
Leyndar sindrar
Kveinar, baðar geislum hreinum
Ó, góðan daginn
Ég úr þér ríf ísjaka
og grýlukertin
og harðfenni
og hendi út á haf
Þar sem sjórinn flæðir
og salt ísinn bræðir
Við spilum endalaust
Sólin stígur á
Kveikir á, sprengir ljósaperur
Leyndar sindrar
Kveinar, baðar geislum hreinum
Sólin stígur á
Kveikir á, sprengir ljósaperur
Leyndar sindrar
Kveinar, baðar geislum hreinum
I send you the sun
Late in a summer’s day
Temperature rises
and the walking pace increases
Shines on the warm faces
It’s a real day
Go go away cloud
Yes, out to the sea
Where the sea flows
and salt melts the ice
We play endlessly
Now undress away
Heal the open wounds
We play endlessly
The sun rises up
Switches on, blows up light bulbs
Hidden sparks
Lament, spreads clear rays
Oh, good morning
I pull from you icebergs
and icicles
and frozen snow
and throw out to the sea
Where the sea flows
and salt melts the ice
We play endlessly
The sun rises up
Switches on, blows up light bulbs
Hidden sparks
Lament, spreads clear rays
The sun rises up
Switches on, blows up light bulbs
Hidden sparks
Lament, spreads clear rays

(translation)

I sent the sun on you
Late summer day
Healing temperature
and Greek gait
Shines in the faces warm
It's a real day
Away away with you clouds
Yes, off to sea
Where the sea flows
and the salt ice melts
We play endlessly
Now take off your clothes
The wounds open heal
We play endlessly
The sun is rising
Turns on, blows out light bulbs
Secret sparks
Wailing, bathing rays clean
Oh, good morning
I'll rip an iceberg out of you
and the icicle candles
and hardeners
and hand out to sea
Where the sea flows
and the salt ice melts
We play endlessly
The sun is rising
Turns on, blows out light bulbs
Secret sparks
Wailing, bathing rays clean
The sun is rising
Turns on, blows out light bulbs
Secret sparks
Wailing, bathing rays clean
I send you the sun
Late in a summer’s day
Temperature rises
and the walking pace increases
Shines on the warm faces
It's a real day
Go go away cloud
Yes, out to the sea
Where the sea flows
and salt melts the ice
We play endlessly
Now undress away
Heal the open wounds
We play endlessly
The sun rises up
Switches on, blows up light bulbs
Hidden sparks
Lament, spreads clear rays
Oh, good morning
I pull from you icebergs
and icicles
and frozen snow
and throw out to the sea
Where the sea flows
and salt melts the ice
We play endlessly
The sun rises up
Switches on, blows up light bulbs
Hidden sparks
Lament, spreads clear rays
The sun rises up
Switches on, blows up light bulbs
Hidden sparks
Lament, spreads clear rays
