Текст и перевод песни Teitur - Tokspor

Tokspor

Vit hava bygt henda stóra býin
Har streymurin ferðast sum eiturkoppaspinn
Fær alt við sum rørir seg á ein og hvønn hátt
Frá harraleysum djórum til tjóvar á nátt
Tokspor røkka víða út og mær leingist heim
At strekkja míni troytu bein

Fólkini ganga eftir vegnum í frakka
Her hevur verið so kalt at áirnar frysta
ísurin bítur allastaðni hann kann
Sjálvt tokini venja seg aldrin við kuldan
Klokkan fylgir trúføst við tíðini
Skjótt rými eg herfrá, til gongu um eg má

Mær tørvar at venda aftur til at liva smærri
At vera einsamallur við teimum eg kenni
Har eingin hyggur eftir mær við undran
Har eg dugi fuglanna sang frammanundan
Tokspor finnast ikki har, men eg veit ein veg
Ið tó krevur tolsemi

Train Tracks

We've built this big city
Where the current flows like a hot spring
It carries everything along in every way
From homeless animals to thieves at night
Train tracks reach far and wide, and I long for home
To stretch my weary legs

People walk down the street in coats
It's been so cold here that the rivers froze
The ice bites everywhere it can
Even the trains never get used to the cold
The clock faithfully follows the time
I'll soon escape from here, on foot if I have to

I need to return to live smaller
To be alone with those I know
Where no one looks at me with wonder
Where I know the birds' song in advance
There are no train tracks there, but I know a way
Which however requires patience
