Translation of the song Glashús artist Einangran

Faroese

Glashús

English translation

Glasshouse

Tú ert sum aldan

You are like the wave

Dregur meg at tær

You draw me towards you

Og rekur meg burtur

And push me away

Við tínum eygum

With your eyes

Tú hyggur at mær

You look at me

Og hyggur burtur

and then look away

Opnar títt hjarta

You open your heart

Og letur tað aftur

And close it back again

Um tú hevði torað

If you had dared

Hevði eg tær lovað

I would have promised you

Alt sum tú hevur droymt

All that you have dreamt of

Ver ikki í iva

Be not in doubt

Tú kanst ikki vita

You cannot know

Um tú ikki hevur roynt

If you haven't tried

Hurðin stendur

The door

Altíð á glopp

Is always ajar

Í tínum heimið

In your world

Bygt úr glasið

Built out of glass

Í einsemi eg

In loneliness I

Síggi teg standa

See you standing

Handan vindeyga

Behind windows

Vardur mót vindi

Protected from wind

Um tú hevði torað

If you had dared

Hevði eg tær lovað

I would have promised you

Alt sum tú hevur droymt

All that you have dreamt of

Ver ikki í iva

Be not in doubt

Tú kanst ikki vita

You cannot know

Um tú ikki hevur roynt

If you haven't tried

Við tínum ótta

With your fears

Við mínum vónum

With my hopes

Havi mist alt vit og skil

Have I completely lost my senses and mind

Tað er bara teg eg vil

That is, I only want you

Um tú hevði torað

If you had dared

Hevði eg tær lovað

I would have promised you

Alt sum tú hevur droymt

All that you have dreamt of

Ver ikki í iva

Be not in doubt

Tú kanst ikki liva

You cannot live

Um tú ikki hevur roynt

If you haven't tried

Um tú hevði torað

If you had dared

Hevði eg tær lovað

I would have promised you

Alt sum tú hevur droymt

All that you have dreamt of

Ver ikki í iva

Be not in doubt

Tú kanst ikki liva

You cannot live

Um tú ikki hevur roynt

If you haven't tried
