Thad lenti � dr�tti, - It was quite a delay
ad m�dir m�n mig �tti, - When my mother had me
thvi h�n var svo g�skid grey. - But then she's such a slender sort
En l�knrinn var s�ttur, - The doctor was fetched
og loksins �l h�n d�ttur, - And finally her daughter was born
og th�d s�st ekki s�tari mey. - And none had ever seen a sweeter girl
En pabbi var sja�lfur, - My father spent usually
� sj�num alltaf h�lfur, - His time at sea half-drunk
svo hann gat ekki lengur sagt nei. - But he could not deny me
Fyrst var hann mj�g sleginn, - At first he was rather shocked
en seinna sagdi hann feginn. - But then he said, relieved
Ad thad s�st ekki s�tari mey. - None shall ever see a sweeter girl
S�tari mey, - Such a sweet girl
s�tari mey, - Such a sweet girl
nei thad s�st ekki s�tari mey. - There is no sweeter girl
Og fyrr en mig vardi, - Before I knew it
hver str�kur � mig stardi, - Every boy would gaze at me
eins og stelpur � gleym-m�r-ei. - As girls gaze at Forget-Me-Nots
Their f�ru ad skj�lfa, - They'd shiver
og s�gdu vid sig sj�lfa, - And say to themselves
h�n er sorglega stygg, - She's hard to get -
en mj�g trygg, ad �g hygg, - But very loyal, I think
og thad s�st ekki s�tari mey. - And there is no sweeter girl
�g l�rdi i bernsku, - I learned quite early
ad blikka� finni ensku, - To speak proper English
og min s�ngr�dd var sweet and gay. - And my song was sweet and gay
En vestur � landi, - But while out west
�g lenti � hj�nabandi. - I stumbled into marriage
Thad er sorglegt fyrir sidpr�da mey - It was sad for such a nice girl
Hann lagdi � sinn vana, - He was used to
ad elska* Amer�kana, - Loving American girls
svo �g kyssti hann og sagdi OK. - So I kissed him and said OK
En illt var � efni, - Then I discovered deceit
hann var �dam�la � svefni, - When he spoke in his sleep
og th� reyndist hann, - And I found out
ramm islenskt grey. - He was very Icelandic after all
Islenskt grey, - Just a poor Icelander
islenskt grey, - Just a poor Icelander
sem �s�dist islenska mey. - Who wanted an Icelandic girl
En n� er �nnur �ldin, - Everything has since changed
�g dansa k�t � kv�ldin, - Now I go dancing every night
og thiy kalla mig gleym-m�r-ei. - And boys call me Forget-Me-Not
Og piltarnir their skj�lfa, - And they shiver
their segja vid sig sj�lfa, - They say to themselves
nei, th� setydir m�r blossandi �st. - No, you send me currents of love
Thv�l�kt hnoss! - Such luck!
Thvi thad s�st ekki s�tari mey. - Since there is no sweeter girl.
