Lyrics and translation Björgvin Halldórsson - Snæfinnur snjókarl




Snæfinnur snjókarl
Mr. Snowman
Snæfinnur snjókarl.
Mr. Snowman,
Snæfinnur snjókarl var með snjáðan pípuhatt gekk
Mr. Snowman had a snowy top hat and old shoes
Gömlum skóm og með góðum róm gat hann talað rétt og hratt .
And with good rum he could speak correctly and fast.
Snæfinnur sjókarl var sniðugt ævintýr segja margir menn ef við munum
Mr. Snowman was a clever adventurer, many people say if we remember,
En hver hann myldur var og hlýr en galdrar voru geymdir í gömlu
But when he grew tired and warm, spells were hidden in his old
Skónum hans þegar hann fékk þá á fætur sér fór óðar en í dans
Shoes when he got them on his feet, he went wild and danced, yes!
Snæfinnur snjókarl var snar lifna við og leik brá bæði léttur þá
Mr. Snowman was quick to come to life and play, both light and fast
Uns hann leit í sólskynið snæfinnur snjókarl snéri kolli himis til og
Until he looked into the sun, Mr. Snowman turned to charcoal and
Hann sagði um leið er sólin heit og ég snoðna ér um bil svo hljóp
He said suddenly, "Now the sun is hot and I'll melt around it" and then,
Hann einn var ekki seinn alveg niður á torg og með af börnum söng
He wasn't slow at all, he jumped down to the square and sang with a group of kids.
Hann lög bæði um sveit og höfuðborg snæfinnur
He wrote songs about both the countryside and the capital, yes, Mr. Snowman,
Snjókrl allt í snatri þetta vann og yfir skein sólin.
The snowman did all this in a flash, and the sun shone over him.
Breið og hún var bræða hann.
Wide and it was about to melt him.
Snæfinnur snjókarl
Mr. Snowman
