Eivør Í Tokuni translation
gangi í tokuni
Walking in the mist
eina í djúpu kvirruni
Alone in the deep silence
síggi ongar varðar
Can't see any cairns
burtur allir garðar
Gone are all the houses
rópi men eingin svarar
I call out but no one's answering
inn ímillum gloppini
In between the gaps
í mjørkaklæddu náttini
in the dark-clad night
hómi eg skuggar
I sense shadows
tykist sum okkurt rørir seg har
it feels as though something is moving here
rópi men eingin svarar mær
I call out but no one's answering me
vinur, vinur sært tú meg?
Friend, friend, do you see me?
gangi her í tokuni
walking here in the mist
hevur tú reikað líka sum eg
Have you wandered like I have
í deyðadjúpu kvirruni?
in the silence deep as death?
sást tú gøtuljósini
Did you see the street lights
lýsa í bygdini?
shining in the village?
sást tú hvat tey gjørdu har?
Did you see what they did there?
minnist tú hvussu støðan var?
Do you remember what the state of things were?
leitaði nakar eftir mær?
Was anyone looking for me?
vinur, vinur sært tú meg?
Friend, friend, do you see me?
gangi her í tokuni
walking here in the mist
hevur tú reikað líka sum eg
Have you wandered like I have
í deyðadjúpu kvirruni?
in the silence deep as death?
hevur tú eins og eg
Have you, like I have,
gingið í tokuni
walked in the mist
burturvilst frá slóðini
Strayed from the beaten path
ytst á fjallatromini?
close to the the mountain edge?
kennir tú hetta einsemið?
Do you know this loneliness?
vinur, vinur skilur tú meg?
Friend, friend, do you understand me?
veitst tú nakran loyniveg?
Do you know any secret path?
hevur tú reikað líka sum eg
Have you wandered like I have
í endaleysu óvissuni?
in the endless uncertainty?
vinur, vinur skilur tú meg?
Friend, friend, do you understand me?
veitst tú ongan loyniveg?
Don't you know any secret path?
hevur tú reikað líka sum eg
Have you wandered like I have
í endaleysu tokuni?
in the endless mist?
