Translation of the song Røttu skógvarnir [In My Shoes] artist Eivør

Faroese

Røttu skógvarnir [In My Shoes]

English translation

The Right Shoes

Tað tekur ofta sína tíð

It often takes some time

At finna stevið innaní

to find your footing inside

Eina løtu løtt á tá

A moment of light-footedness

Men skjótt kann kennast tungt at lyfta fót uppfrá.

but it can quickly feel heavy to lift your foot ahead.

Bíða, bíða eftir mær

Wait, wait for me

Eg eri nær

I am near

Hav tol við mær

Be patient with me

Tað tekur ofta langa tíð

It often takes a long time

At finna røttu skógvarnar at ganga í.

to find the right shoes to walk in.

Niðan brøttu brekkuna

Beneath the steep hills

Kennist sum eg standi í stað

It felt as though I stood in town

Glopraregn og heglingsæl

Heavy rain and hail shower

Viðhvørt liggur ættin ikki sum hon skal.

Sometimes the wind doesn't blow to where it should.

Bíða, bíða eftir mær

Wait, wait for me

Eg eri nær

I am near

Hav tol við mær

Be patient with me

Tað tekur ofta langa tíð

It often takes a long time

At finna røttu skógvarnar at ganga í.

to find the right shoes to walk in.

Bíða, bíða eftir mær

Wait, wait for me

Eg eri so nær

I am near

Hav tol við mær

Be patient with me

Tað tekur ofta langa tíð

It often takes a long time

At finna røttu skógvarnar at ganga í.

to find the right shoes to walk in.

Bíða, bíða eftir mær

Wait, wait for me

Skjótt eri eg har

I'll be there soon

Hav tol við mær

Be patient with me

Tað tekur ofta langa tíð

It often takes a long time

At finna røttu skógvarnar at ganga í.

to find the right shoes to walk in.
