Translation of the song Vøka artist Eivør

Faroese

Vøka

English translation

Waking

Vaknaði, sá eg vendi á ranguni

Woke up, I saw I turned the wrong side

Bíðaði, helt meg enn vera droymandi

Waited, awake but dreamy

Nakin, klárvakin á ferð.

Naked, wide awake on a journey.

Sást tú meg, tá eg kom hagar dalandi

You saw me, crawling around

Tagdi eg, ella var eg tá talandi,

I remained silent, otherwise I would have been so talkative

Var náttin so skýmlig sum nú

The night was so gloomy then

Var eg líka stúrin sum tú.

I was as worried as you.

Hoyrdi tú, tá ið muður mín talaði

Did you hear, every time my lips were speaking

Minnist tú, hvat tað var ið eg ætlaði,

Do you remember, what it was I was meaning

Hvat var tað, eg hugsaði tá

What it was, I was thinking then

Segðii eg, hvar eg kom frá.

I said, where I came from.

Um eg nú vaknaði við

When I woke up

Var tú tá við mina lið,

You were by my side

Høvdu vit tá funnið frið

Then we have found peace

Um eg nú vaknaði við.

When I woke up.

Nem við meg, so eg kenni meg livandi

Touch me, so that I know I'm alive

Tráða meg, so eg kenni meg elskandi

Desire me, so that I know I'm in love

Mín skuggi, mín uggi tú er.

You are my shade, my comfort.
