about

Næturljóð úr fjörðum
Yndislegt lag eftir Böðvar Guðmundsson. Hefur alltaf snert mig síðan Hjalti vinur minn kenndi mér það. Náttúran gleypir horfna tíma smám saman og minningarnar verða mosagrónar.

Nocturne from the fjords
This sublime song tells a beautiful tale of moss covered memories of lost places and times, swallowed by nature. My friend Hjalti tought me this Nocturne and I’ll always be grateful.

lyrics

Næturljóð úr fjörðum


Yfir í Fjörðum allt er hljótt,
Eyddur hver bær hver þekja fallin.
Kroppar þar gras í grænni tótt
gimbill um ljósa sumarnótt.
Ókleifum fjöllum yfirskyggð
ein er þar huldufólksbyggð.

Bátur í vör með brostna rá
bíður þar sinna endaloka.
Lagði hann forðum landi frá
leiðina til þín, fjörðinn blá.
Aldrei mun honum ástin mín
áleiðis róið til þín.

Fetar þar létt um fífusund
folaldið, sem í vor var alið.
Aldrei ber það um óttustund
ástina mína á vinafund.

Grær yfir leiði, grær um stein,
gröfin er týnd og kirkjan brotin.
Grasrótin mjúka, græn og hrein
grær yfir huldufólksins bein.
Grær yfir allt sem áður var,
ástin mín hvílir nú þar.

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
