Mær leingist, mær leingist at fevna teg.
I long, I long to embrace you.
Mær leingist at teska eg elski teg.
I long to whisper I love you.
Hví fórst tú frá mær?
Why did you leave me?
Kom aftur til mín,
Come back to me,
fevn meg og teska
hold me and whisper
Mær leingist at kína títt fagra hár.
I long to caress your beautiful hair.
Kom aftur og turka av kinnum hvørt tár.
Come back and wipe the teary cheeks.
Bert vit eru saman
If only we were together
í álvara og gaman!
in sorrow and in joy!
Ja, so verður alt gott.
Yes, everything would then be fine.
