Lyrics and translation Stuðmenn - Úti í Eyjum




Úti í Eyjum
In the Islands
Úti í Eyjum
In the Islands
Bjó Einar kaldi
Einar the Cold resided
Er hann hér enn?
Is he here still?
Hann var öðlingsdrengur,
He was a boy of noble birth
Ja svona eins og gengur
That's how it went
Um Eyjamenn.
For the men of the Islands
Í kvenmannsholdið
In the women's quarters
Kleip hann soldið
He kissed the girl
Klípur hann enn?
Does he still?
Hann sigldi um sæinn,
He sailed the sea
Svalan æginn
The swallow of the ocean
Siglir hann enn?
Does he still sail?
Allir saman nú:
All together now:
Tra-la-la,
Tra-la-la,
Tra-la-la la-la,
Tra-la-la la-la,
Hann bjargaði sér fyrir björgin dimm,
He saved himself from the dark cliffs
Tra-la-la,
Tra-la-la,
Tra-la-la la-la,
Tra-la-la la-la,
þær báðu hans einar fimm.
Five of them begged him to be theirs
Hann unni einni,
He loved one,
Önnu hreinni,
Another he held pure,
Ann'ann'enn'enn?
And another and another?
En hvar er Anna,
But where is Anna,
Elsku Anna?
My dearest Anna?
Við spyrjum konur og menn.
We asked the women and men
Hann sást með Guddu,
He was seen with Gudda,
Sætri buddu,
A sweeter Buddha,
í suðlægri borg,
In a southern city
En Anna situr,
But Anna sat,
Ein og bitur,
Alone and bitter
í ástarsorg.
In the sorrows of love
Allir saman nú:
All together now:
Tra-la-la,
Tra-la-la,
Tra-la-la la-la,
Tra-la-la la-la,
Hann bjargaði sér fyrir björgin dimm,
He saved himself from the dark cliffs
Tra-la-la,
Tra-la-la,
Tra-la-la la-la,
Tra-la-la la-la,
þær báðu hans einar fimm.
Five of them begged him to be theirs
Mér er sem ég sjá'ann Einar kalda,
It's as if I see Einar the Cold
Mér er sem ég sjá'ann Einar hér.
It's as if I see Einar here
Er hann Einsi kannski búinn tjalda
Has Einsi perhaps come to pitch his tent
Við hliðina á þér...
Right beside you...
Mér er sem ég sjá'ann Einar kalda,
It's as if I see Einar the Cold
Mér er sem ég sjá'ann Einar hér.
It's as if I see Einar here
Er hann Einsi kannski búinn tjalda
Has Einsi perhaps come to pitch his tent
Við hliðina á þér...
Right beside you...
