Eivør Slør translation
Slør
Veils
meðan slør leggjast á sjóvendar gluggar
while veils lay on seaward windows
meðan farin tíð kámast burtur í søltum hvirlum
while spent time passes by in salty whirls
meðan morgunáin fyllist móti sínum streymi
while the morningtide fills against its stream
elskar tú meg
you love me
elskar tú meg
you love me
meðan stjørnur enn speglast í glarum fiskaeygum
while stars are still reflected in glaring fisheyes
meðan nýmánin styggur svimur inn í dagslýsi
while the new moon shyly swims into the daylight
meðan mannabørn veittra dreymavinum farvæl
while human children bid their dreamfriends farewell
elskar tú meg
you love me
elskar tú meg
you love me
meðan dropadøgg fyllir blómulógvar
while dewdrops fill the flowers
meðan vit titra í flógvum óviti
while we shiver witless at the bay
meðan fuglalát geisla í kvirruni
while birdsong echoes in the silence
elskar tú meg
you love me
elskar tú meg
you love me
