Tú ert enn so dárandi ung
You are so enduringly young
- sum nýborið vár,
-like a newborn spring,
ið vitjar heimin
that visits the world
á sólgyltum flytifuglaveingjum
upon sun-gilt fluttering wings of birds
- tú ert einans átjan ung ár.
- you are only eighteen years young.
Tú ert enn so eggjandi rein
You are so piercingly pure
- hevur ongum veitt sár,
- you have no wounds
ið bløðir í loynd,
that bleed in secret,
á sólgyltum flytifuglaveingjum
upon sun-gilt fluttering wings of birds
- tú ert einans átjan ung ár.
- you are only eighteen years young.
Tú ert enn so eggjandi rein
You are yet so piercingly pure
- sum perlandi tár,
- like pearling tears,
sum døgg hin, ið skírdi
like that dew, which cleansed
vársins fyrstsprotnu nálir
spring's first-sprung needles
- tú ert einans átjan ung ár.
- you are only eighteen years young.
Tú ert enn so dárandi ung
You are so enduringly young
- sum nýborið vár,
- like a newborn spring
ið vitjar heimin
that visits the world
á sólgyltum flytifuglaveingjum
upon sun-gilt fluttering wings of birds
- tú ert einans átjan ung ár.
- you are only eighteen years young.
