augun þín
augun steina mín
við... þín
þú... hvað ég meina
augun mín og augun þín
ó þá fögru steina
mitt var þitt og þitt var mitt
þú veist hvað ég meina
langt er síðan sá ég hann
sannlega fríður var hann
allt sem prýða má einn mann
mest af lýðum bar hann
þig ég trega manna mest
mædda af tára flóði
ó að við hefðum aldrei sést
elsku vinurinn góði
your eyes
eyes stone mine
by... yours
you... what I mean
my eyes and your eyes
o those fair stones
mine was yours and yours was mine
you know what I mean
long is since I saw him
truly fair he was
all that may adorn a man
most of the people carried him
you I long for most of all
heavy with the flood of tears
O that I never had seen you
dear beloved friend
--Björk
