Blá nótt yfir himininn
Blá nótt yfir mér
Horf-inn út um gluggann
Minn með hendur
Faldar undir kinn
Hugsum daginn minn
Í dag og í gær
Blá náttfötin klæða mig í
Beint upp í rúm
Breiði mjúku sængina
Loka augunum
Ég fel hausinn minn undir sæng
Starir á mig lítill álfur
Hleypur að mér en hreyfist ekki
Úr stað – sjálfur
Starálfur
Opna augun
Stírurnar úr
Teygi mig og tel (hvort ég sé ekki)
Kominn aftur og alltalltílæ
Samt vantar eitthvað
Eins og alla vegginna
I lived and worked in Iceland for a year.
I might post something about it one day.
It's gorgeous. You are introducing me to all sorts of new music.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to think of a way to thank you.
ummmmmmmm.....sorry that was me having another 'blonde' moment......i think what i meant to say was that i've always wanted to see the aurora borealis..........and if it sings, then this is what i imagine it to sound like.........haunting.....moving...
