Sum morgunin kemur tú aftur
Like the morning you will return
Mín perla, mín dýrasti skattur
My gem, my most precious treasure
Sum blómurnar skulu vit spretta,
Like the blooms shall we bud.
í rúsandi vitloysi detta
In that intoxicating witlessness
Eg veit, eg veit, eg veit
I know, I know, I know
Og so kemur suðið frá tær
And so you sighed
Sum vindurin flýgur tú frá mær
Like the wind you fly away from me
Sum blómurnar skulu vit følna,
Like the blooms shall we wither
tá hjarta títt aftur man kølna
when your heart might grow cold
Eg veit, eg veit, eg veit
I know, I know, I know
Sum løtan tá dagurin vaknar
Like the moment the day awakes
Sum kvirran tá sjógvurin slættnar
Like the peace when the sea calms
Er kenslan tá menniskju tárast,
The feeling when someone cries is
tá kærleikin sárliga sárast
when love is bitterly heart
Eg veit, eg veit, eg veit
I know, I know, I know
