PRINSESSAN MlN —
(Levender blue — dilly, dilly).
Yrði ég prins, dilly, dilly, yrðir þú mín,
unnustan mín, dilly, dilly, prinsessan
mín.
Hver hefur sagt dilly, dilly, sagt mér
frá því?
Sjálfur ég hef dilly, dilly, sagt mér
frá því.
Ef þín dilly, dilly sál er þess dilly dilly
fús
— því mig dreymir þig æ —
læt ég byggja okkur strax lítið dilly,
dilly hús
út við draumbláan dilly, dilly sæ.
Svo indæl og fín dilly, dilly yrðir þú mín.
Eg yrði prins, dilly, dilly, þú
prinsessan mín.
CARELESS HANDS
I let my heart fall in to carless hands. —
Carless hands that broke my heart in
two —
you held my dreams like worthless
grains of sands;
Carleless hands don’t care when
dreams slips through
I brought you joy and, dear, I loved
you so -------
But all that sunsh-ine did’nt make
the rose grow —
If you don’t change some day you’ll
know the sorrow.
of carleless hands that can’t hold
on to love.
WHILE THE ANGELUS RINGING
While the angelus was ringing —
calling for the evening pray’r
I could hear the choir singing
and I saw you standing thcre;-----
Silently I stood beside you —
how my heárt was beating then!
For my dreams had all come tru,
I was saftly back with you,
Never more to roam again-------
Then the great Cathedral spire —
seemed to come a live and say, —
Thro’ the voices of the choir
„There will be a wedding day“
Then the golden ray of sunlight —
From a window in the sky —
shone upon us from above,
heaven’s blessing on our love,
now our love will never die.
AGAIN
Again, this couldn’t happen again,
this is that once in a life time,
this is the thrill divine.
What’s more, this never happened
before,
though I have prayed for a lifetime
that such as you would suddenly be mine
— mine to hold as I’m holding you now
and yet never so near.
Mine to have when the now and the
here disappear
what matters dear,
for when, this doesn’t happen again
we’ll have this moment ment forever,
but never, never again.
