FJÓRLAUFA SMÁRI
Texti: Náttfari
Ef að ég fyndi einn fjóriaufa smára,
er færir mér iiamina'ju þá,
sem allir i heiminum eru að leita,
en örfáum hlotnast að ná,
þá skyldi éfj pefa þór persemar dýrar
op pleðja j)ií' sérhverja stund. —
Aðeins ép fyndi einn fjórlaufa smára,
hið fegursta blómið á grund.
BLESS YOU
Bless you for being an angel!
Just when it seemed that Heaven was not
for me;
Bless you for buildine a new dream,
Just when mv old dream crumbled so help-
lessl.v.
In that vine covered chapel on the hill,
Your face was a hvmn that lingers still;
So, bless vou my darling, my angel. TTeaven
is mine,
And life is divine with you:
Svo valt er farmanns ástarvndi,
æðri jafnt sem lægri vilja
lifa skammt og lifa vel.
SUNNY SIDE OF TIIE STREET
Grab your coat and get your hat
Leave your worries on the doorstep,
Just direct your feet
To the sunny side of the street.
Cán’t you hear a Peter Pan
And the happy tune is your step.
Life can be so sweet
On the sunny side of the street.
I used to walk in the shade
With those blues on parade,
But I’m not afraid.
This rover cross over.
If I never have a sense
I’ll be rich as Rockefeller.
Goin’ to step my feet,
On the sunny side of the street.
MOONLIGHT AND ROSES
FARMANNSTRYGGÐ
(Das ist dic Liebe der Matroscn)
Svo valt er fnrmanns ástarvndi,
enrinn trevsti játning hans,
ástin flýr til annars lands.
Hann skemmtir sér með liúfu Ivndi,
les í flvti biartar vonir kærleikans.
En burt er siglt í snma skvndi,
og sorgin bitur köld sem hel.
Moonlight and roses
Bring wonderful mem’ries of you
My heart reposes
In beautiful thoughts so true.
Junelight disposes
Love’s old and dreams
Sparkling on you.
Moonlight and roses
Bring mem’ries of you.
