Norðrljós

Aurora Boreal

Norðrljós

Stood to the northStóð fyr norðan
There on the seashoreþÆr á sævarströnd
The frosty stones were saltyHrímsteinana er saltir voru
Stood to the northStóð fyr norðan
There on the seashoreþÆr á sævarströnd
Light was born in the darknessLjós fæðist í myrkrinu
On that landÁ því landi
Where I know to lieEr ek liggja veit
A lone island lay nearbyEin ey lá þar skammt
On that landÁ því landi
Where I know to lieEr ek liggja veit
Frost giants endure fateHrímþursar örlög drýgja

He who wakes meSá mik vekr
When he comes from afarEr af víði kemr
Every morningMorgin hverjan
I greet the aurora borealisEg helsar baldrljós

Which is the way to heavenHver er leið til himins
Which is the way to heavenHver er leið til himins
From the earth?Af jörðu?

Have you seen it?Hana muntu séð hafa
Do you call it a rainbow?Vera kallir þú regnboga?
It has three colorsHún er með þrem litum

A bridge to heaven from the earthBrú til himins af jörðu

Over a sea as blue as flameYfir hafi sem var blár sem logi
It's called the Aurora BorealisNorðrljós heitir
