about

A song about waking up after a bad love hangover to taste again from the sweet wines of love :D Yeah I know... Corny...

lyrics

Ég veit ekki hvað það er
sem ég finn, er ég horfi á þig.
Einhver ókunnug tilfinning læðist inn
og gagntekur mig.

Og ég heyri þig syngja
og ég heyri þitt lag.

Og hverjum hefði getað dottið í hug
að ég myndi finna þig á þessum stað,
á brennipunkti minna minninga?
Hverjum hefði getað dottið í hug
að sálir sem týnast og troðast í svað,
rati aftur heilar heim í hlað?

Og þegar við kysstumst
var eins og tíminn stæði kyrr.
En svo tók hann á stökk
og stundirnar þutu sem aldrei fyrr.

Og ég heyri þig syngja
og ég heyri þitt lag.


English translation:

I don't know what it is
that I feel when I watch you.
Some unknown feeling creeps in
and envelops me.

And I hear you sing,
And I hear your song.

And who would have thought
that I would find you in this place
at the focus point of my memories?
And who would have thought
that souls that get lost and trodden in the mud,
will find their way back home.

And when we kissed
it was as time stood still.
But then it jumped to a gallop
and the hours flashed like never before.

And I hear you sing,
and I hear your song.

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
