Текст и перевод песни Sissel - Tiden Renner

Tiden Renner

Tidin rennur sum streymur í á,
Titt munu bylgjurnar falla:
Lítlum báti rekist eg á,
áraleysur at kalla.
Og hvør ein løta og hvør ein stund
At stóra fossinum dregur:
Treigist mitt hjarta, tyngist min lund,
Hvar er úr neydini vegur?
Hvør hevur vinur vilja og mátt
At bjarga mær til landa?
Allir eru á likan hátt
Staddir sum eg í vanda.
Ein hevur vinur vilja og mátt
At bjarga mær frá grandi;
Jesus kann føra in lítla bát
Trygt at himla-sandi.

Time Runs Like a River in the Stream

Time runs like a stream in the river,
Often the waves will fall:
In a small boat I row,
A canoe, so to call.
And every second and every moment
Pulls towards the great waterfall:
My heart is heavy, my spirit tired,
Where is the way out of this distress?
Who has the will and strength of a friend
To rescue me to land?
Everyone is in the same way
As I am, in trouble.
One has the will and strength of a friend
To rescue me from harm
Jesus can guide the little boat
Safely to the heavenly shore.
