It's still got a mysterious, maybe even sad, feel even knowing the lyrics. Not sure who he's singing about - a partner or someone who's no longer alive. Again a fluent speaker's knowledge would be welcome!
-sólin skín í heiði - það er komin nótt - stend á miðri hraðbraut - samt er allt svo hljótt - náttúran er dúndur...
*the sun shines from a clear sky (?) - night is coming - I stand in the middle of the freeway - yet everything's still so quiet - nature is mad/calm (?)
And that concludes my translation! Verse 8 and 9 are just repetitions of verse 4 and 5. Hope knowing the words hasn't put you off the song. It's one of my all time favourites!
This song is probably made for people who do party drugs.

It's a nice song, though I'm not all too fond of those ''speaking'' parts.
5 thumbs up.

The orginal voice was more of a whisper. One of my favourite P O songs!

Wow, thanks! Finally some insight ;-)
Although I must admit it sounded a bit more mysterious before when I didn't know what the words meant... LOL

There's a bit more to go. Shall I stop?!
Incidentally the question marks are just for individual words, not the entire sentence!
PS: I'm just a student of Icelandic so if any Icelanders would like to comment on my translations..!

I wish I could speak it! lol. I can read much more than I can speak. I wish I knew what the words I didn't understand mean.
It's my favourite language along with Serbian and Swedish.
