Translation of the song Elskaði artist Eivør

Elskaði

Beloved

Náttin var okkara

The night was ours

Eldur og spæl

Fire and play

Morgunin ein lykil

The morning a key

Millum heitar kroppar

Between our warm bodies

Elskaði

Beloved

Eg standi við ósan

I stand by the river

Speglað og kám

Mirrored and obscure

Drýpi hendurnar niður í

I bow my hands down

Føli kuldan rykkja í meg, enn

I feel the frozen pull in me, still

Hvat merkti tað

What did it matter

At eg var tín

that I was yours?

Hvat merkti tað

What did it matter

At tú vart mín

that you were mine?

Inntil næsta sjóvarfall

Until the next turn of the tide

Inntil næsta sjóvarfall

Until the next turn of the tide

Elskaði

Beloved

Eg sløkki gløðurnar

I snuff out the embers

Kyssi tey smáu

kiss the little ones

Loysið lógvatakið

Loosen the grip

Um tín lykil, sum skar seg inní

on your key, which cut into my palm

Elskaði

Beloved,

Eg taki náttina aftur

I take back the night

Læsi nú upp

Unlock it now

Velji kuldan og víddirnar

I choose the cold and the vast expanses

Undir, bíðar alt eftir mær, enn

Below, everything awaits me, still

Hvat merkti tað

What did it matter

At eg var tín

that I was yours?

Hvat merkti tað

What did it matter

At tú vart mín

that you were mine?

Inntil næsta sjóvarfall

Until the next turn of the tide

Inntil næsta sjóvarfall.

Until the next turn of the tide
