Lyrics and translation Stuðmenn - Úti í Eyjum

Úti í Eyjum

Úti í Eyjum
Bjó Einar kaldi
Er hann hér enn?
Hann var öðlingsdrengur,
Ja svona eins og gengur
Um Eyjamenn.
Í kvenmannsholdið
Kleip hann soldið
Klípur hann enn?
Hann sigldi um sæinn,
Svalan æginn
Siglir hann enn?
Allir saman nú:
Tra-la-la,
Tra-la-la la-la,
Hann bjargaði sér fyrir björgin dimm,
Tra-la-la,
Tra-la-la la-la,
þær báðu hans einar fimm.
Hann unni einni,
Önnu hreinni,
Ann'ann'enn'enn?
En hvar er Anna,
Elsku Anna?
Við spyrjum konur og menn.
Hann sást með Guddu,
Sætri buddu,
í suðlægri borg,
En Anna situr,
Ein og bitur,
í ástarsorg.
Allir saman nú:
Tra-la-la,
Tra-la-la la-la,
Hann bjargaði sér fyrir björgin dimm,
Tra-la-la,
Tra-la-la la-la,
þær báðu hans einar fimm.
Mér er sem ég sjá'ann Einar kalda,
Mér er sem ég sjá'ann Einar hér.
Er hann Einsi kannski búinn að tjalda
Við hliðina á þér...
Mér er sem ég sjá'ann Einar kalda,
Mér er sem ég sjá'ann Einar hér.
Er hann Einsi kannski búinn að tjalda
Við hliðina á þér...

In the Islands

In the Islands
Einar the Cold resided
Is he here still?
He was a boy of noble birth
That's how it went
For the men of the Islands
In the women's quarters
He kissed the girl
Does he still?
He sailed the sea
The swallow of the ocean
Does he still sail?
All together now:
Tra-la-la,
Tra-la-la la-la,
He saved himself from the dark cliffs
Tra-la-la,
Tra-la-la la-la,
Five of them begged him to be theirs
He loved one,
Another he held pure,
And another and another?
But where is Anna,
My dearest Anna?
We asked the women and men
He was seen with Gudda,
A sweeter Buddha,
In a southern city
But Anna sat,
Alone and bitter
In the sorrows of love
All together now:
Tra-la-la,
Tra-la-la la-la,
He saved himself from the dark cliffs
Tra-la-la,
Tra-la-la la-la,
Five of them begged him to be theirs
It's as if I see Einar the Cold
It's as if I see Einar here
Has Einsi perhaps come to pitch his tent
Right beside you...
It's as if I see Einar the Cold
It's as if I see Einar here
Has Einsi perhaps come to pitch his tent
Right beside you...
