Míni eygu sukku í djúpa hav í nátt,
Og hjarta mítt brann eins og eldur,
og sjálvt um luftin var ísakøld,
So vermdu meg tínar heitu hendur.
Nei, aldri eg gloyma man tvey eygu so rein,
Og andlitið so yndisligt, blítt,
Og um eg ikki tá var farin heim,
Tá mundi tú stolið hjarta mítt

My heart

My eyes sank into the deep sea this night
And my heart burnt like fire
And even though the air was cold as ice
you warmed me with your hot hands
No, I'll never forget two eyes so serene
and the face so lovely, tender
And if I hadn't gone home
You would've stolen my heart
