| Kveikur (original) | Kveikur (translation) |
|---|---|
| Kveikjum í kveikiþráðum | Ignite the ignition wires |
| og hlaupum | and run |
| höldum fast fyrir eyrun, | hold on to your ears, |
| kreppum augu | crisis eyes |
| hávaðinn sker í eyrun, | the noise hurts the ears, |
| hljóðhimnur leka út | eardrums leak out |
| með svartbundið fyrir augu, | with black eyes, |
| reykur | smoke |
| brennum lófa innað beini, | burn the palm of your hand, |
| svíður í | fields in |
| hverfum við sjóndeildarhring, | we disappear from the horizon, |
| inn í | into |
| Let’s light up the fuses | Let’s light up the fuses |
| and run | and run |
| cover our ears | cover our ears |
| shut our eyes tight | shut our eyes tight |
| the noise cuts our ears | the noise cuts our ears |
| the eardrums leak | the eardrums leak |
| our eyes covered in black smoke | our eyes covered in black smoke |
| our palms burned to bone scorched | our palms burned to bone scorched |
| we disappear into the horizon | we disappear into the horizon |
