Translation of the song Slør (Faroese version) artist Eivør

Faroese

Slør (Faroese version)

English translation

Veil

Meðan slør leggjast á sjóvendar gluggar

While a veil lays on seaward windows,

Meðan farin tíð kámast burtur í søltum hvirlum

while dead time passed in salty gusts,

Meðan morgunáin fyllist móti sínum streymi

while the morning-river swells against its stream,

Elskar tú meg

you love me,

Elskar tú meg

you love me.

Meðan stjørnur enn speglast í glarum fiskaeygum

While stars are still mirrored in glassy eyes of fish,

Meðan nýmánin styggur svimur inn í dagslýsi

while the new moon shyly swims into the daylight,

Meðan mannabørn veittra dreymavinum farvæl

while men bid their dream-friends farewell,

Elskar tú meg

you love me,

Elskar tú meg

you love me.

Meðan dropadøgg fyllir blómulógvar

While dew-drops fill the flowers,

Meðan vit titra í flógvum óviti

while we tremble witless at the gulf,

Meðan fuglalát geisla í kvirruni

while the warble of the birds echoes in the silence,

Elskar tú meg

you love me

Elskar tú meg

you love me.
