Marius Ziska – Nærveran Icelandic Lyrics English Translations

So kom nærveran fleimandi
– Then came the close
uttan at siga mær frá, bara so var hon aftur her
– she was a good man, and she was a good man.
nemur hjarta mítt vís og góð
– my heart is pure and good
tykist sum um hon er mín
– some of it is mine
men eg veit, at hon býr í tær
– but I know that she lives in
tá hon fer er hon her men eg dugi ei
– then she goes, she is here, but I cannot
at liva í løtuni sum er ein treyt
– at liva in løtuni there is a treyt
skal eg vera har
– I’ll be there
Og so teskar hin hugsanin mær, at hon er
– And so the other thought goes, that she is
ikki til, uttan tíð uttan stað
– not to, uttan time uttan place
ikki sovna nú-ú mmm
– don’t fall asleep now-oh mmm
sterkar kenslur hold og blóð
– strong ties of flesh and blood
tankar og vilji til at vera í hesum heiminum
– thoughts and willingness to be in the Hesse world
tá hon fer er hon her
– where she goes, she’s here
men eg dugi ei at liva í løtuni, sum er ein treyt
– but I am not good enough to live in løtunið.
skal eg vera har
– I’ll be there
og so teskar hin hugsanin mær
– and so the other thought goes
at hon er, ikki til uttan tíð uttan stað
– at hon er, ikki til uttan tid uttan place
ikki sovnað nú-ú mmm
– I’m not asleep yet, hmmm.

tá hon fer er hon her
– where she goes, she’s here
men eg dugi ei, at liva í løtuni sum er ein treyt
– but I do not know what to do.
skal eg vera har
– I’ll be there
og so teskar hin hugsanin mær at hon er
– and so the other thought tells me that she is
ikki til
– not available
uttan tíð uttan stað
– uttan time uttan place
ikki sovna nú-ú mmm
– don’t fall asleep now-oh mmm
