Eivør Salt translation
saltið í kroppinum
The salt in my body
er havið í mær
Is the sea in me
ein drukkin tíðarflóð
A drunken flow of the tide
ein sárur streymur
A painful stream
og sjógvurin tyngist
And the swells grow heavy
alt togar móti dýpinum
They all pull down into the deep
eg veit eg má fara
I know I must go
eg eg veit at eg kann
I know that I can
í undirhúðargjáum
In the depths of my skin
fossar mín longsul
My longing like a waterfall
grópar upp tíðina
It churns up the time
máar burtur óttan
Eats away at the early morning
og sjógvurin tyngist
And the swells grow heavy
alt togar móti dýpinum
They all pull down into the deep
eg veit eg má fara
I know I must go
eg veit at eg kann
I know that I can
langt burtur úr landi
Far away from land
hómi eg gráan av minnum
I remember the grey
lati aldurnar taka meg
I let the waves take me
føli djúphavið darra
I feel the deep sea quiver.
havið er í mær
The sea is in me
er saltið í tárunum
It's the salt in my tears
og sjógvurin tyngist
And the swells grow heavy
alt togar móti dýpinum
They all pull down into the deep
eg veit eg má fara
I know I must go
eg veit at eg kann
I know that I can
