[edit] IcelandicHann veitti birtu á bádar hendur
Um bæinn sérhvert kvöld Hann luktar-Gvendur á liðinni öld Á gráum hærum gloggt var kenndur Við glampa á ljósafjöld Hann luktar-Gvendur á liðinni öld Hann heyrðist ganga hægt og hljótt Um hverja götu fram á nott Hans hjarta sá med bros á brá Ef ungan svein og yngismey Hann aðeins sá, hann kveikti ei En eftirlét þeim rókkur skuggablá Í endur minning æskutið Hann aftur leit, en ástmey blið Hann örmum vafði fast, svo ung og smá Hann veitti birtu á bádar hendur Um bæinn sérhvert kvöld Hann luktar Gvendur á lidinni öld |
[edit] EnglishHe brought light in both his hands
Around the town each night Lamplighter-Gvendur from long long ago By his grey hair he was known Gleaming by the lantern's light Lamplighter-Gvendur from long long ago He could be heard walking calmly and quietly Down every street during the night His heart would smile with joy If a young boy and girl He saw, he would not light his lamp Leaving them in the shade of darkness And he reminisced about his youth And he looked back on his sweet love When he hugged tight his sweet young girl He brought light in both his hands Around the town each night Lamplighter-Gvendur from long long ago |
