lyrics

Yfir hóla og yfir hæðir
langar mig að sýna þér.
Bakpokar og gönguskór,
lítinn stað sem ég hef fundið mér

Yfir hóla og yfir hæðir

Yfir hóla og yfir hæðir
kræklótt lyggur okkar leið,
bældur mosi, angandi lyng
Við horfum hugfangin á hrafnaþing.

Yfir hóla og yfir hæðir.

Yfir hóla og yfir hæðir,
sérðu það sem ég sé?
Lækjarspræna og laufið græna,
ég færi þér mín helgu vé.

Yfir hóla og yfir hæðir.

English Translation:

Over hills and over heaths
I want to show you.
Backpacks and walking shoes,
a little place I have found for myself.

Over hills and over heaths.

Over hills and over heaths.
our winding paths lie.
Subdued moss and the scent of heather.
We watch the ravens congress in awe.

Over hills and over heaths.

Over hills and over heaths
do you see what I see?
A gentle spring and the green leaf,
I bring you to my sacred hidden place.

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
