Текст песни Гћad SГ©st Ekki SГ¦tari Mey

Thad lenti н drжtti, - It was quite a delay
Ad mуdir mнn mig жtti, - When my mother had me
Thvi hъn var svo gнskid grey. - But then she's such a slender sort
En lжknrinn var sуttur, - The doctor was fetched
Og loksins уl hъn dуttur, - And finally her daughter was born
Og thбd sйst ekki sжtari mey. - And none had ever seen a sweeter girl
En pabbi var sjaбlfur, - My father spent usually
б sjуnum alltaf hбlfur, - His time at sea half-drunk
Svo hann gat ekki lengur sagt nei. - But he could not deny me
Fyrst var hann mjцg sleginn, - At first he was rather shocked
En seinna sagdi hann feginn. - But then he said, relieved
Ad thad sйst ekki sжtari mey. - None shall ever see a sweeter girl
Sжtari mey, - Such a sweet girl
Sжtari mey, - Such a sweet girl
Nei thad sйst ekki sжtari mey. - There is no sweeter girl
Og fyrr en mig vardi, - Before I knew it
Hver strбkur б mig stardi, - Every boy would gaze at me
Eins og stelpur б gleym-mйr-ei. - As girls gaze at Forget-Me-Nots
Their fуru ad skjбlfa, - They'd shiver
Og sцgdu vid sig sjбlfa, - And say to themselves
Hъn er sorglega stygg, - She's hard to get -
En mjуg trygg, ad йg hygg, - But very loyal, I think
Og thad sйst ekki sжtari mey. - And there is no sweeter girl
Йg lжrdi i bernsku, - I learned quite early
Ad blikkaб finni ensku, - To speak proper English
Og min sцngrцdd var sweet and gay. - And my song was sweet and gay
En vestur б landi, - But while out west
йg lenti н hjуnabandi. - I stumbled into marriage
Thad er sorglegt fyrir sidprъda mey - It was sad for such a nice girl
Hann lagdi н sinn vana, - He was used to
Ad elska* Amerнkana, - Loving American girls
Svo йg kyssti hann og sagdi OK. - So I kissed him and said OK
En illt var н efni, - Then I discovered deceit
Hann var уdamбla н svefni, - When he spoke in his sleep
Og thб reyndist hann, - And I found out
Ramm islenskt grey. - He was very Icelandic after all
Islenskt grey, - Just a poor Icelander
Islenskt grey, - Just a poor Icelander
Sem бsжdist islenska mey. - Who wanted an Icelandic girl
En nъ er цnnur цldin, - Everything has since changed
йg dansa kбt б kvцldin, - Now I go dancing every night
Og thiy kalla mig gleym-mйr-ei. - And boys call me Forget-Me-Not
Og piltarnir their skjбlfa, - And they shiver
Their segja vid sig sjбlfa, - They say to themselves
Nei, thъ setydir mйr blossandi бst. - No, you send me currents of love
Thvнlнkt hnoss! - Such luck!
Thvi thad sйst ekki sжtari mey. - Since there is no sweeter girl.
