Translation of the song lyrics Starálfur - Sigur Rós

Starálfur (original)

Blá nótt yfir himininn
Blá nótt yfir mér
Horf-inn út um gluggann
Minn með hendur
Faldar undir kinn
Hugsum daginn minn
Í dag og í gær
Blá náttfötin klæða mig í
Beint upp í rúm
Breiði mjúku sængina
Loka augunum
Ég fel hausinn minn undir sæng
Starir á mig lítill álfur
Breytir mér í, en hreyfist ekki
Úr stað - sjálfur
Starálfur
Opna augun
Stírurnar úr
Teygi mig og tel (Hvort ég sé ekki)
Kominn aftur og allt allt í lagi
Samt vantar eitthvað
Eins og alla veggina
(Starir á mig lítill álfur)
(Breytir mér í)
Úr stað - sjálfur
Ég er…
Blue night over the sky
Blue night over me
Disappearing out the window
With my hands
Hidden under my cheeks
I think about my day
Today and yesterday
I put on my blue pajamas
Go straight to bed
I caress the soft covers
Close my eyes
I hide my head under the sheets
A little elf stares at me
Turns me in, but doesn’t stir
From his place — himself
A staring elf
I open my eyes
The crusts come off
I stretch myself and check (If I haven’t)
Once again and everything is okay
Still there is something missing
Like all the walls
(A little elf stares at me)
(Turns me in)
From his place — himself
I am…

Starálfur (translation)

Blue night across the sky
Blue night over me
Look out the window
Mine with hands
Hides under the cheek
Think of my day
Today and yesterday
I wear the blue pajamas
Straight up to the bed
Spread the soft duvet
Close your eyes
I hide my head under a blanket
A little elf stares at me
Turns me in, but does not move
Out of place - yourself
Starálfur
Open the eyes
The handlebars from
Stretch me and believe (Whether I do not see)
Come back and all right
Still, something is missing
Like all the walls
(Stares at me little elf)
(Turns me in)
Out of place - yourself
I am…
Blue night over the sky
Blue night over me
Disappearing out the window
With my hands
Hidden under my cheeks
I think about my day
Today and yesterday
I put on my blue pajamas
Go straight to bed
I caress the soft covers
Close my eyes
I hide my head under the sheets
A little elf stares at me
Turns me in, but does not stir
From his place - himself
A staring elf
I open my eyes
The crusts come off
I stretch myself and check (If I have not)
Once again and everything is okay
Still there is something missing
Like all the walls
(A little elf stares at me)
(Turns me in)
From his place - himself
I am…
