"Himnaför" lyrics

"Himnaför"

[Icelandic:]

Stúlka mín litla, sem leikur þér dátt
Liðinn er dagur og komin er nátt
Tími að fara nú fötunim úr
Fingurna þvo, en hvað segir þú?

Gefðú mér kodda og gefðú mér sæng
Gefðú mér rúm sem á tvöfaldan veng
Þar mun ég fljúga í hugarins heim
Og halda í draum út í víðfeðman geim

Fljúgðú þá vina min huganum í
Heimsóttu Venus og Merkúkry
Þar muntu hitt'eina fallega frú
Sem færir þér gjafir, en hvað segir þu?

Frá jörðinni liggur svó leiðin til Mars
Lækir þar ida af silung og lax
Töff er að reikna um Júpiters tungl
Og taka þar lagið, en hvað segir þu?

Gefðú mér kodda og gefðú mér sæng
Gefðú mér rúm sem á tvöfaldan veng
Þar mun ég fljúga í hugarins heim
Og halda í draum út í víðfeðman geim

Á Satúrnus dansa þeir klukkun'um kring
Kólfunum skjóta með Úranus swíng
Í Neptunus borg má svo byggja sér bú
Sér bregða til Pluto, en hvað segir þú?

Gefðú mér kodda og gefðú mér sæng
Gefðú mér rúm sem á tvöfaldan veng
Þar mun ég fljúga í hugarins heim
Og halda í draum út í víðfeðman geim

[English translation:]

My little girl, who plays so well
The day has passed and the night has come
Time now to take your clothes off
Wash the fingers, or what do you think?

Give me a pillow and give me a blanket
Give me a bed that has two sets of wings
There I will fly in the home of my mind
And go in a dream to the huge universe

Then fly my friend in the mind
Visit Venus and Mercury
There you will meet a beautiful wife
Who brings you presents, or what do you think?

From earth the the route leads to Mars
Where shoals of trouts and salmon play
Delays are expected at Jupiter's moon
And..., or what do you think?

Give me a pillow and give me a blanket
Give me a bed that has two sets of wings
There I will fly in the home of my mind
And go in a dream to the huge universe

In Saturn they dance around the clock
Shot the clubs with a Uranus swing
In Neptune city you may build your home
And travel to Pluto, or what do you think?

Give me a pillow and give me a blanket
Give me a bed that has two sets of wings
There I will fly in the home of my mind
And go in a dream to the huge universe
