Текст и перевод песни Rökkurró - Hetjan á fjallinu (live binaural, Iðnó)

Hetjan á fjallinu (live binaural, Iðnó)

Hugrekkið glampaði í augum hans
Og hendurnar hættu að skjálfa.
Hátt settu marki skyldi hann ná
Hæðina skyldi hann loks sigra.

Leiðina þekkti sem lófa sinn
Og lengdina vissi upp á hár.
Ferðin auðveld var ásýndar
En erfiðust hugsunin sjálf.

Á fjallinu miðju hann hjartað fann
Fastar slá en fyrr.
Í eitt augnablik hann aftur leit
þá angistin hetjuna greip.

Vindbarinn tróndi toppnum á
Tárvotur brosti breitt.
Í dag hafði hann sigrað sjálfan sig
Sína þyngstu þraut hafði leyst.

The hero on the mountain (live binaural, Iðnó)

Courage glinted in his eyes
And his hands stopped shaking.
He would reach the high goal
And finally conquer the height.

He knew the way like the palm of his hand
And he knew the length to a hair.
The journey was easy on the surface
But the hardest part was the thought itself.

In the middle of the mountain he found his heart
Beating faster than before.
For a moment he looked back
Then the anguish seized the hero.

Windblown he stood on the summit
Broadly smiling with tears in his eyes.
Today he had conquered himself
And solved his most difficult ordeal.
