Translation of the song lyrics Rismál - Sólstafir

Rismál (original)

Svarthvítur í huga mér
Altaf er vetur hér
Hvar eru litir norðursumars
Æskublóm sakleysis?
Eru Draumar bernskunnar
Nú uppi dagaðir?
Já erfitt er að halda í
Lífsins sumarnón
Formúlur ljóss ég rita
Í blárri skímunni
Bakkus mér nú býður í
Skuggabræðra boð
Brestur í gömlum þökum
Heyrirðu stormsins nið?
Hjartarætur fylltar kuli
Svo langt í vorboðann
Milli óttu og árs dagsmáls
Sofa mannanna börn
Og mávagarg bergmálar
Yfir Reykjavíkurborg

Rismál (translation)

Black and white in my mind
Winter is always here
Where are the colors of northern summer
The flower of youth of innocence?
Are Dreams of Childhood
Now up days?
Yes, it's hard to keep up
Life's summer night
Formulas of light I write
In the blue shade
Bakkus now offers me
Shadow brothers' invitation
Failure of old roofs
Do you hear the storm coming down?
Hearts filled with coal
So far to the herald of spring
Between fear and the year of the day
The sleeping children of men
And seagull echoes
Over the city of Reykjavík
