LYRICS:
Yo people, listen to what I gotta say.
Before you book your holiday.
You want somewhere not too frantic
Possibly in the middle of the Atlantic
Check me out, here we go, c'mon!

I was...
Feelin' kind of stressed so I booked a holiday
To a tiny destination, a long way away
Stepped off the plane and -- holy shizzle!
Welcome to the Faroes - it's the bizzle.
Eighteen islands to explore so I jumped in my car,
Met some of the locals - how you doing? - Baa!
Climbed up a mountain - the name? I'm not sure.
But I'll give it a go - Slættaratindur

Welcome to the Land of Maybe
Yeah yeah Faroe Islands in the house.
Come to the Faroes -- it's so lovely
It's a painted wooden house, with a grassy roof.
Meet nice people when you go out hiking
How do they get the lawnmowers up there? Respect.
But you better watch out 'cos they're genetically viking

Faroe! Faroe! Faroe! Faroe!
It's my favourite archipelago
Torshavn, Klaksvik, Gasadalur, Bour
Are they good for tourists? ~ Sure!
If you're trying the food~, I'll give you some tips~,
Be a little daring, order puffin and chips

Let me hear you say Faroes -- Faroes!

Fiji, Barbados, Corfu, Bermuda,
I hate to offend ya but I have to refuse ya
Cos when it comes to islands that get my devotion,
I look no further than the North Atlantic ocean
The weather's so mysterious, no two days are the same
Sometimes wet and windy, sometimes just the rain.
The Faroes will amaze you, yeah you'd better be warned -
Like a midget bodybuilder. Small but perfectly formed.

Welcome to the Land of Maybe
It's not Scotland, it's not Iceland,
The Faroe Islands have embraced me.
It's kind of in the middle. Like Sc-iceland
The scenery is incredibly striking
But less Scots and less ice.
Excuse me now while I get a little Viking.

Faroe! Faroe! Faroe! Faroe!
It's my favorite archipelago
They've got lots of sheep so they ain't short on wool
To knit crazy jumpers that are totally cool~.
So, come on everybody and sing this song
Cos half a million puffins can't be wrong.
Faroe! Faroe! Faroe! Faroe!
Boom!

I'm talking Faroes -- and I don't mean Egypt.

Big up. Peace. We out.

FAROESE TRANSLATION:
Hey tit, lurtið eftir tí sum eg havi at siga
Áðrenn tit avgera hvar tit fara.
Og staðið skal ikki vera ov vilt
Kanska miðskeiðis í Atlantarhavinum
Kekka meg út, so fara vit, kom!

Eg var...
Strongdur, so eg bókaði mær eina ferð
Til eitt lítið samfelag, ikki langt vekk frá her
Steig av flogfarinum og -- halt nú kj...!
Vælkomin til Føroyar - Her er alt.
Átjan oyggjar at granska, so eg fór í mín bil,
Møtti nøkrum lokaum - hvussu hevur tú tað? Maa!
Klatraði upp eitt fjall - navnið? Ikki eri eg vísur
Men eg gevi tí eina roynd - Slættaratindur

Vælkomin til the Land of Maybe
Yeah yeah, Føroyar er í húsinum
Komið til Føroyar -- her er so gott.
Tað er eitt málað træhús, við tekju við grasi
Møt fittum fólkum, tá tú fert út at ganga
Hvussu fáa tey pleniklipparnar upp har? Respekt.
Men ansað tær, tí tey hava víkingablóð

Føroyar! Føroyar! Føroyar! Føroyar!
Tað er mítt yndis oyggjasamfelag
Tórshavn, Klaksvík, Gásadalur, Bøur
Eru tað støð fyri ferðafólk? - Sjálvandi!
Um tú roynir matin, lat meg geva tær nøkur tips,
Ver eitt sindur djarvur, royn lunda og kips
Lat meg hoyra teg siga Føroyar -- Føroyar!

Fiji, Barbados, Corfu, Bermuda,
Eg vil ei vera frekur, men eg má tala ímóti
Tí tá tað kemur til oyggjar, ið eru úr gróti
Eg hyggi ei víðari, enn til Norður Atlantar havið
Veðrið er so loyndarfult, eingin dagur er hin sami
Nakrar dagar vátt og vindur, onkuntíð bert regn
Føroyar fara at bergtaka teg, yeah nú er henda ávaring farin tín veg
Sum ein lítil sterkur vættur. Ei stórur men vælskaptur
Vælkomin til the Land of Maybe
Tað er ei Skotland, eiheldur Ísland
Føroyar hava tikið um meg.
Tað er nakað í miðjuni, nakað sum Sk-ísland
Náttúran er ótrúliga vøkur
Men minni av Skotum og minni av ísi.
Orsaka meg, men nú er ein Víkingur á veg.

Føroyar! Føroyar! Føroyar! Føroyar!
tað er mítt yndis oyggjasamfelag
Tey hava nógvan seyð, so tey mangla ei ull
Til at binda ørar troyggur, sum eru púrasta kul.
So, komið nú øll, og syngi henda sang
Tí ein hálv millión lundar, kunnu ei taka feil.
Føroyar! Føroyar! Føroyar! Føroyar!
Boom!
Eg tosi um Føroyar -- og eg meini ei við Egyptaland.
Tummilin up. Vit eru farin.
