Augun mín og augun þín
ó þá [bad word] 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

SONGS OF ROSE FROM VATNSENDA

My eyes and your eyes
oh those beautiful stones
mine was yours and yours was mine
you know what I mean

Long is since I saw him
 [bad word] 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
oh that I never had seen you
dear beloved friend
