about

traditional Icelandic lullaby

Schlafe mein junger Liebling

Schlaf mein junger Liebling, draußen weint der Regen.
Mama paßt auf deine Spielsachen auf, die alten Knochen und geheimnisvollen Dinge.
Wir wollen in den langen Nächten nicht wach bleiben.
Viel weiß die Dunkelheit, meine Gedanken sind schwer.
Oft schaue ich hinaus auf die dunkle Sandebene, nirgends sehe ich grüne Wiesen.
Im Gletscher klaffen tödliche tiefe Sprünge.
Schlafe lange und ruhig, am besten erwachst du so spät wie möglich.
Das Leid des Lebens wirst du bald genug erfahren, während der Tag sich schnell zu Ende neigt.
Die Menschen lieben, verlieren, weinen und vermissen.

lyrics

Sofðu unga ástin mín.
Úti regnið grætur.
Mamma geymir gullin þín,
gamla leggi og völuskrín.
Við skulum ekki vaka um dimmar nætur.

Það er margt sem myrkrið veit
minn er hugur þungur.
Oft ég svarta sandinn leit,
svíða grænan engireit.
Í jöklinum hljóða dauðadjúpar sprungur.

Sofðu lengi, sofðu rótt,
seint mun best að vakna.
Mæðan kenna mun þér fljótt,
meðan hallar degi skjótt
að mennirnir elska, missa, gráta og sakna.
