Bíódagar - Bubbi Morthens traduction en anglais

Bíódagar

Í myrkrinu bíður þín blóð og kross
Eða brosmildur Roy með gítar og hross
Og ærandi hávaði frá hundruðum barna
Sem hrópa á goðið bófinn er þarna.

Bíó dagar þeir lifa enn
Bíó dagar í hjörtunum smæla
Bíó dagar og ungir menn
Sem drekka í sig drauminn sinn sæla.

Sögur voru sagðar í sveitinni hans afa.
Sjónvarp á íslensku var draumur út í haga.
Draugar riðu um héruð, hrellandi fólk
Ghestar létu illa og beljur misstu mjólk.

Bíó dagar þeir lifa enn
Bíó dagar í hjörtunum smæla
Bíó dagar og ungir menn
Sem drekka í sig drauminn sinn sæla.

Kanasjónvarpið var ævintýraundur
En hetjan hét Lassý og var hundur.
Á glugganum glóði birtan blá
Og barnaskarinn á glugganum lá.

Bíó dagar þeir lifa enn
Bíó dagar í hjörtunum smæla
Bíó dagar og ungir menn
Sem drekka í sig drauminn sinn sæla.

Cinema Days

In the darkness blood and a cross await you
Or Roy's smiles with guitars and horses
And the boisterous cries of hundreds of children
Calling out to the god who is here.

Cinema days, they still live on
Cinema days in our hearts they make us smile
Cinema days and young men
Who drink in their sweet dreams.

Stories were told in the countryside of his grandfather.
Icelandic television was a dream way out there.
Ghosts rode through the regions, frightening people
Guests misbehaved and cows lost their milk.

Cinema days, they still live on
Cinema days in our hearts they make us smile
Cinema days and young men
Who drink in their sweet dreams.

Canadian television was a magical adventure
But the hero was Lassie and she was a dog.
The blue light glowed in the window
And the child sat in the windowpane.

Cinema days, they still live on
Cinema days in our hearts they make us smile
Cinema days and young men
Who drink in their sweet dreams.
