Translation of the song Mjørkaflókar [Fog Banks] artist Eivør

Faroese

Mjørkaflókar [Fog Banks]

English translation

Fog Banks

Mjørkaflókar leggja seg

Fog banks are lying

Sum ein dúnmjúk dýna yvir bygdina

like a fluffy duvet over the village

Tú stendur við gluggan og hyggur út

you stand by the window and gaze out

Í tokudalin

towards the foggy dale

Grátt út yvir grátt

Grey out over grey

Fjalt er alt sum var grønt og blátt

hidden is everything that was green and blue

Høgu fjøllini

the high mountains

Eru ballað inn

are cocooned

Í mjørkaflókar

in high fog

Eygu tíni eru fjar

Your eyes are distant

Sum síggja tey okkurt eingin annar sær

as though they see something no one else sees

Eg hevði ynskt eg sá við tínum eygum

I had wished I could see through your eyes

Tín veruleika

your reality

Grátt út yvir grátt

Grey out over grey

Fjalt er alt sum var grønt og blátt

hidden is everything that was green and blue

Høgu fjøllini

the high mountains

Eru ballað inn

are cocooned

Í mjørkaflókar

in high fog

Aldrin kendist tú

You never felt

So langt burturi sum nú

so far away as you do now

Men eg síggi teg

but I saw you

Gjøgnum opini

through the openings

Millum regndropar

between the raindrops
