"Óliver" lyrics
[Icelandic:]
Í Valhöll til fórna fagran dreng
Þeir færðú fjötra í
Þeir neglð'ann svo hátt á krýsukross
Og þeir kölluð'ann þræla þý
Óliver – kæri
Óliver – mæri
Óliver – nú rakna þín bönd
Óliver – ljúfi
Óliver – prúði
Óliver – nú skjálfa öll lönd
Enginn mun skilja þrautir þær
Er þola mátti hann
Hann gerði það fyrir mig og þig
Fyrir allan sannleikann
Óliver – kæri
Óliver – mæri
Óliver – nú rakna þín bönd
Óliver – ljúfi
Óliver – prúði
Óliver – nú skjálfa öll lönd
Sál þínn er heimur and'og álfa
Hinn fyrsti og síðasti
Kjarninn í hugum mannanna sjálfra
Þú gafst þeim vísindi – óh, óh, óh
Stóðst eins og máttarstólpi stinnur
Sterkur á svellinu
Nú heyrast mun hátt í skýjunum
Á helgafellinu
Óliver – þú færð sígurlaun
Þú færð sígurlaun
Þó köld sé þín hönd
Óliver – þú færð sígurlaun
Þú færð sígurlaun
Mín elskandi ónd – brjóttú böndin nú!
Óliver – kæri
Óliver – mæri
Óliver – nú rakna þín bönd
Óliver – ljúfi
Óliver – prúði
Óliver – nú skjálfa öll lönd
[English translation:]
In Valhalla a long time ago a beautiful boy
They put in chains
They nailed him so high upon a cross
And they called him a slave
Oliver – lovely
Oliver – glorious
Oliver – your bonds are untied now
Oliver – pleasant
Oliver – modest
Oliver – all the lands quiver now
No one will understand the trials that
He had to endure
He did it for me and you
For all the truth
Oliver – lovely
Oliver – glorious
Oliver – your bonds are untied now
Oliver – pleasant
Oliver – modest
Oliver – all the lands quiver now
You soul is home to spirit and elves
The first and the last
The essence is in the minds of the men themselves
You gave them the knowledge – oh, oh, oh
Piled like a rigid stack of power
Strong on the ice
You can hear high in the skies now
About your legend
Oliver – you get your victorious reward
You get your victorious reward
Though your hand is cold
Oliver – you get your victorious reward
You get your victorious reward
My beloved hand – break the ties now!
Oliver – lovely
Oliver – glorious
Oliver – your bonds are untied now
Oliver – pleasant
Oliver – modest
Oliver – all the lands quiver now
