Текст и перевод песни Rökkurró - Hetjan á Fjallinu

Hetjan á Fjallinu

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.

Windy Top

Courage flickered in his eyes
And his hands stopped shaking.
He would reach the high set goal
Finally conquer the height.
He knew the path like the palm of his hand
And he knew the length to a T.
The journey was easy to do
But the hardest thing was the thought itself.
Halfway up the mountain he felt his heart
Beating faster than before.
For a moment he looked back
Then anxiety seized the hero.
The handsome fellow stood on the top
Smiling broadly, soaked in tears.
Today he had triumphed over himself
His greatest hardship had been overcome.
