"Bænin" lyrics

"Bænin"

[Icelandic:]

Drengurrin litli hann krýpur á knéð
Krossleggur hendurnar svo Guð fái séð
Uss - hljótt - hvað?
Drengurrin litli sem bænir fer með

Góði Guð farðu ei mömmu frá
Hún háttar mig og baðar og er mér hjá
Svo klærðir hún mig í náttföt hlý
Guð blessið pabba ég gleymdi því

Þegar hugsa ég um hvað sem gerðist í dag
Kemur upp í huga mér lítið lag
Ég má ei hætta bænina við
Fyrigefðu Guð, ég vel þig bið

Náttfötin mín eru hettu með
Í hettuni höfuðið vel ég fel
Hún augu mín hylur og ennið með
Enginn veit að ég þar er

Þákka þér Guð fyrir góðan dag
Gleymdi ég einhverju, hvað var það?
Ég bad fyrir pabba og hugsaði um þig
Já nú man ég - Guð blessi mig

Drengurrin litli han sefur nú rótt
Dagurrin liðinn, komin er nótt
Uss - hljótt - hvað?
Drengurrin litli sem bænirnar bað

[English translation:]

The little boy he crawls to his knees
Crosses his hands so that God can see
Hush - quiet - what?
The little boy who says his prayers

Good God don't go away from mommy
She undresses me and bathes and stays with me
Then she dresses me in warm nightgown
God bless daddy 'cause I forgot

When I think of what happened today
A little song comes to mind
I must not stop saying my prayer
Forgive me God, I ask you kindly

My nightgown has a hood
Inside the hood I hide my head
It covers my eyes and my forehead as well
Nobody knows that I am there

Thank you God for a good day
Did I forget something, what was it?
I prayed for daddy and thought of you
Yes now I remember - God bless me

The little boy sleeps well now
The day is over, the night has come
Hush - quiet - what?
The little boy who said his prayers
