lirik lagu björk guðmundsdóttir & tríó guðmundar ingólfssonar - það sést ekki sætari mey
[verse]
thad lenti í drætti, – it was quite a delay
ad módir mín mig ætti, – when my mother had me
thvi hún var svo gískid grey. – but then she’s such a slender sort
en læknrinn var sóttur, – the doctor was fetched
og loksins ól hún dóttur, – and finally her daughter was born
og thád sést ekki sætari mey. – and none had ever seen a sweeter girl
en pabbi var sjaálfur, – my father spent usually
á sjónum alltaf hálfur, – his time at sea half-drunk
svo hann gat ekki lengur sagt nei. – but he could not deny me
fyrst var hann mjög sleginn, – at first he was rather shocked
en seinna sagdi hann feginn. – but then he said, relieved
ad thad sést ekki sætari mey. – none shall ever see a sweeter girl
sætari mey, – such a sweet girl
sætari mey, – such a sweet girl
nei thad sést ekki sætari mey. – there is no sweeter girl
og fyrr en mig vardi, – before i knew it
hver strákur á mig stardi, – every boy would gaze at me
eins og stelpur á gleym-mér-ei. – as girls gaze at forget-me-nots
their fóru ad skjálfa, – they’d shiver
og sögdu vid sig sjálfa, – and say to themselves
hún er sorglega stygg, – she’s hard to get –
en mjóg trygg, ad ég hygg, – but very loyal, i think
og thad sést ekki sætari mey. – and there is no sweeter girl
ég lærdi i bernsku, – i learned quite early
ad blikkaá finni ensku, – to speak proper english
og min söngrödd var sweet and g-y. – and my song was sweet and g-y
en vestur á landi, – but while out west
ég lenti í hjónabandi. – i stumbled into marriage
thad er sorglegt fyrir sidprúda mey – it was sad for such a nice girl
hann lagdi í sinn vana, – he was used to
ad elska- ameríkana, – loving american girls
svo ég kyssti hann og sagdi ok. – so i kissed him and said ok
en illt var í efni, – then i discovered deceit
hann var ódamála í svefni, – when he spoke in his sleep
og thá 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 ásædist islenska mey. – who wanted an icelandic girl
en nú er önnur öldin, – everything has since changed
ég dansa kát á kvöldin, – now i go dancing every night
og thiy kalla mig gleym-mér-ei. – and boys call me forget-me-not
og piltarnir their skjálfa, – and they shiver
their segja vid sig sjálfa, – they say to themselves
nei, thú setydir mér blossandi ást. – no, you send me currents of love
thvílíkt hnoss! – such luck!
thvi thad sést ekki sætari mey. – since there is no sweeter girl
