Norðrljós

Northern Lights

Norðrljós

I stood to the northStóð fyr norðan
By the seashoreþÆr á sævarströnd
Where the frost stones were saltyHrímsteinana er saltir voru
I stood to the northStóð fyr norðan
By the seashoreþÆr á sævarströnd
Light is born in the darknessLjós fæðist í myrkrinu
On that landÁ því landi
Where I lie downEr ek liggja veit
An island lay nearbyEin ey lá þar skammt
On that landÁ því landi
Where I lie downEr ek liggja veit
Frost giants weave fateHrímþursar örlög drýgja

Something wakes meSá mik vekr
That comes from the willowEr af víði kemr
Every morningMorgin hverjan
I greet the light of dawnEg helsar baldrljós

What’s the way to heaven?Hver er leið til himins
What’s the way to heaven?Hver er leið til himins
From the earth?Af jörðu?

Rainbow, Bifröst, Northern LightsRegnbogi, Bifröst, Norðrljós
I greet the Northern Lights, light of dawnEg helsar Norðrljós Baldrljós

You must have seen herHana muntu séð hafa
Do you call her a rainbow?Vera kallir þú regnboga?
She has three colorsHún er með þrem litum
They call her Northern LightsNorðrljós heitir
A bridge to heaven from the earthBrú til himins af jörðu
That the ancients knewþÆrs í árdaga áttar höfðu
Over a sea that was blue as flameYfir hafi sem var blár sem logi
They call her Northern LightsNorðrljós heitir
