Míni eygu sukku í djúpa hav í nátt,
My eyes sank into the deep sea this night
Og hjarta mítt brann eins og eldur,
And my heart burnt like fire
og sjálvt um luftin var ísakøld,
And even though the air was cold as ice
So vermdu meg tínar heitu hendur.
you warmed me with your hot hands
Nei, aldri eg gloyma man tvey eygu so rein,
No, I'll never forget two eyes so serene
Og andlitið so yndisligt, blítt,
and the face so lovely, tender
Og um eg ikki tá var farin heim,
And if I hadn't gone home
Tá mundi tú stolið hjarta mítt
You would've stolen my heart
