Lyrics and translation Jónas Ingimundarson feat. Gunnar Guðbjörnsson & Hrönn Þráinsdóttir - Þetta land




Þetta land
This Land
Þetta land
This land
Kristján frá Djúpalæk
Kristján frá Djúpalæk
Þetta land geymir allt sem ég ann
This land holds all I hold dear
Býr í árniði grunntónn míns lags
In its core is the keynote of my song
Hjá þess jurt veit ég blómálf míns brags
By its herbs do I know the flower-elves of my imagination
Milli bjarkanna yndi ég fann
Amongst its birch-clad hills did I find joy
Ber mér útræna ilminn frá sjó
To me the ocean's scent is a gentle caress
Blærinn angan frá lyngi í
The breeze brings the fragrance of the flowering heather in the moors
Djúpa hugró á fjöllum ég finn
In the mountains, profound peace I find
Meðal fólksins er vettvangur minn
Amongst its people is my true stage
Þetta land skamma stund bjó mér stað
This land has been my home only for a short while
Ég er strá í þess mold. Ég er það
I am a child of its soil. I am that.
