"Arabadrengurinn" lyrics
"Arabadrengurinn"
[Icelandic:]
Það var í Næturlestinni í Kairo
Það sem ég hitti Arabadreng
Sem siðan aldrei úr huga mér hverfur
Ég elska hann
Hann sagði sögur af úfalda sínum
Og söng um vatnið í vinjum og ám
Hann brá upp myndum með töfrandi línum
Ég elska hann
Það var vor og sól
Daginn eftir fór ég að hitta hann
Við fórum niðr'að níl
Við þurftum engan bíl, aðeins úfaldann
Hann fór og sýndi mér pýramýda
Rétt við j´aðar Sahara sands
Og aug'ans lystu við steinana hvíta
Ég elska hann
Á Nílarbökkum við gengum og sungum
Um lífsins gleði, fegurð og ást
Ég fylltist anda úr framandi tungum
Ég elska hann
Það var vor og sól
Fuglar sungu í kór að ég hitti hann
Við fórum niðr'að níl
Við þurftum engan bíl, aðeins úfaldann
Hann kvaddi mig með tárvotum augum
Á lestarstoðinni daginn þann
Er ástin brann svo heitt í mínum taugum
Ég vissi ég sæi aldrei aftur hann
Mig dreymir oft um drenginn minn fríða
Pg þá er lífið ljúft í nálægð hans
Hann hefur stækkað, því árin þau líða
Ég elska hann
Hér uppá Íslandi græt ég í leynum
Og leita'að merkjum sem minna á hann
Ég sé hans andlit í stokkum og steinum
Ég elska hann
[English translation:]
It was in the night train in Cairo
Where I found an Arabian boy
Whom since then never left my thoughts
I love him
He told me stories from his dromedary
And sang of water in oasis and rivers
He drew me pictures with magical lines
I love him
There was spring and sun
The next day I left to look for him
We went down the Nile
We didn't need a car, just a dromedary
He went and showed me the pyramids
Right by edge of Sahara sands
And his eyes lit up by the white stones
I love him
By the Nile's bank we walked and sang
About life's joy, beauty and love
I felt inspired by other foreign tongues
I love him
There was spring and sun
Birds sung in choir when i found him
We went down the Nile
We didn't need a car, just a dromedary
He left me with tears in his eyes
On the railway station that day
Although love burned hot in my nerves
I knew I would never see him again
I often dream of my fair boy
And life is sweet when I'm close to him
He has grown, as the years have passed
I love him
Here back in Iceland I cried in lonliness
And searched for marks to remind me of him
I see his face in sticks and stones
I love him
