Translation of the song Tortímandi artist Hatari

Icelandic

Tortímandi

English translation

Destroyer

Hann er þögull

He is quiet

Sem múrveggur

Like a wall

Hávær

Loud

Sem handleggur

Like an arm

Brotinn

Broken down

í agnir niður

To pieces

Aumkun

Pitied

Sem engu nemur

Like almost nothing

öskur

A scream

Sem hamar og meitill

Like a hammer and sickle

Höggstaður

A weak spot

Alráður

Powerful

Hatur

Hate

Sem flóðbylgjur

Like a tsunami

ótti

Fear

óheflaður

Unrestricted

Kunnuglegur tortímandi

Familiar destroyer

Styrkri hendi mundar spjótið

Strong hands draw the spear

Við erum brothætt

We are fragile

Sem heimsálfa

As a continent

Hangir

Hanging

á bláþræði

By a thread

Heróp

A war cry

í bergmáli

Echoing

Aumkun

Pitied

Sem engu nemur

Like almost nothing

öskur

A scream

Sem hamar og meitill

Like a hammer and sickle

Höggstaður

A weak spot

Alráður

Kunnuglegur tortímandi

Familiar destroyer

Styrkri hendi mundar spjótið

Strong hands draw the spear

Allt sem þú aldrei varst

All that you never were

Aldrei varðst

Never became

Aldrei varst

Never were

Bréfið sem aldrei barst

The letter that never came

Aldrei barst

Never came

Aldrei barst

Never came

Klettsbrún af hverri þú dast

The cliff's edge that you fell from

Hverri þú dast

That you fell from

Hverri þú dast

That you fell from

Allt sem þú aldrei varst

All that you never were

Aldrei verður

Never will become

Aldrei varst

Never were

Kunnuglegur tortímandi

Familiar destroyer

Styrkri hendi mundar spjótið

Strong hands draw the spear
