about

A lullaby for my son Refur (Fox). Every one of my children gets one song. This is his song.

lyrics

Nú færir rökkrið frið og ró
og feimin lúrir sól í sjó.
Í hálsakoti er hósíló.
Þar leggur lítið refaskinn
leið sína brátt í draumheiminn.

Nú kveður sólin kjarr og lyng,
og kyssir lítinn ljósvíking.
Heldur svo áfram næsta hring.
Þá eftir liggur anginn minn
og arkar senn í draumheiminn.

Þar syndum við
milli skýja, hlið við hlið.
Hver hjartsláttur er
himnadýrð, leikandi með þér.

Nú sólin sleikir morgunsár,
með sælubrosi knýr á brár
og stráin þerra daggartár.
Þá rumskar litli Refurinn
og rekur aftur draumheiminn.

Þar syndum við
milli skýja, hlið við hlið.
Hver hjartsláttur er
himnadýrð, leikandi með þér.

English translation:

Now, twilight brings us peace and calm,
and shyly, the sun rests in the sea.
In the nook of my arms, there is sanctuary.
There, a tiny fox soon strides into the world of dreams.

Now, the sun bids goodnight to birch and heather,
and kisses a little champion of light.
Continues on to the next circle.
And my little one stays behind,
and ventures into the world of dreams.

There we swim
between clouds, side by side.
Every heartbeat is celestial glory,
playing with you.

Now, the sun licks the morning wound,
with a joyful smile knocks on our brows.
And the straws dry the dewdrops tears.
Then the little Fox stirs
and drives back the dream world.

There we swim
between clouds, side by side.
Every heartbeat is celestial glory,
playing with you.

Svavar Knutur

A troubadour of humble beginnings and rural upbringing, Svavar Knútur's music tells stories of love, tragedies, sadness and redemption, looking back at his country's sad and shame-filled history. His voice always seem to strike a chord with his audiences, along with his decadently charming on-stage persona, his concerts at times comprised of stories within stories and songs within songs. ... more
