lyrics

MORGUNN / MORNING
Lítil fugl í leyni
lúrir undir steini.
Kveður senn sitt næturskjól.


Lítil sála læðist,
ljós í fjarska glæðist,
gáir móti morgunsól.

Dvínar dalalæða
dormar milli hæða.
Fagnar sólu sérhvert blóm.

Ljómi lautir baðar,
lítil hjörtu hraðar
slá við lífsins bjarta hljóm.

Ljósið loga kveikir,
lifnar sálin tætt og köld.
Mætir nýjum degi.

Hugur hýrnar, vaknar,
heimurinn sindrar, allt er nýtt.
Sólin faðm út breiðir,

umvefur allt.

Háa yfir hnjúka
himins fingur strjúka.
Morgunglóðin heilsar hlý.

Ský af himni hopar
hörfa daggardropar.
Fagnar degi veröld ný.

Ljósið loga kveikir,
lifnar sálin tætt og köld.
Mætir nýjum degi.

Hugur hýrnar, vaknar,
heimurinn sindrar, allt er nýtt.
Sólin faðm út breiðir,

umvefur allt.



ENGLISH TRANSLATION:
A little bird secretly
cuddles beneath a stone.
Soon it will leave it's nightly shelter.

A little soul quietly,
as the light wakes in the distance,
looks towards the morning sun.

The valley mist wanes,
slumbers between hills.
Every flower greets the sun.

The glow bathes the hills,
little hearts beat faster,
to the bright music of life.



The light wakes the flames,
the soul, so tattered and cold comes a live
and meets the new day.

The mind gladdens, awakens,
the world sparkles, everything is new.
The sun opens its arms.

Embraces all.

The tall peaks of mountains
are caressed by the fingers of heaven.
The morning glow greets warmly.

A cloud retreats from the sky,
as dewdrops withdraw.
And a new world celebrates the day.

The light wakes the flames,
the soul, so tattered and cold comes a live
and meets the new day.

The mind gladdens, awakens,
the world sparkles, everything is new.
The sun opens its arms.

Embraces all.

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
