Текст и перевод песни Rökkurró - Hún

Hún

Börnin grétu gleðitárum
því hún var komin aftur.
Sú sem allir elskuðu
Endurheimt úr helju.
Fræknar voru sögurnar
Frá öllum heimsins löndum.
Ljóslifandi myndirnar
Spruttu úr hennar orðum.
En bara ef hún
Hefði séð inn í huga þeirra.
Fundið sorgina
Sem deyft hafði allt.
En bara ef hún fyndi vonleysið
Sem fyllti þau
Hefði hún strax í stað
Hætt að skína.
Síðla kvölds er sögum lauk
Börnin tóku að þagna.
Innst í hjörtum vissu þau
á morgun yrði hún farin.
En bara ef hún
Hefði séð inn í huga þeirra.
Fundið sorgina
Sem deyft hafði allt.
En bara ef hún fyndi vonleysið
Sem fyllti þau
Hefði hún strax í stað
Hætt að skína.

She

The children wept with tears of joy
For she had come back.
She whom all adored
Rescued from the netherworld.
Audacious were the tales
From all corners of the world.
Vivid images
Sprouted from her words.
But only if she
Could see into their minds.
Discover the anguish
That had deafened all.
But only if she felt the hopelessness
That filled them
She would have immediately
Ceased to shine.
Late at night when the stories ended
The children began to quiet.
Deep in their hearts they knew
She would be gone by morning.
But only if she
Could see into their minds.
Discover the anguish
That had deafened all.
But only if she felt the hopelessness
That filled them
She would have immediately
Ceased to shine.
