"Pabbi Minn"


Ó pabbi minn
Hve undursamleg ást thin var
Ó pabbi minn
Thú ávalt tókst mitt svar

Aldrei var neinn,
Svo ástudlegur eins og thú
Ó pabbi minn
Thú ætíd skildir allt

Lidin er tíd
Er leíddir thú mig lítid barn
Brósandi blítt
Thú breyttir sorg í gledi

Ó pabbi minn
Eg dádi thína léttu lund
Leikandi kátt
Thú lékst thér á thinn hátt

Ó pabbi minn
Hve undursamleg ást thin var
Æskunnar ómar
Ylja mér í dag

Lidin er tíd
Er leíddir thú mig lítid barn
Brósandi blítt
Thú breyttir sorg í gledi

Ó pabbi minn
Eg dádi thína léttu lund
Leikandi kátt
Thú lékst thér á thinn hátt

Ó pabbi minn
Hve undursamleg ást thin var
Æskunnar ómar
Ylja mér í dag

Ó pabbi minn, Ó pabbi minn, Ó pabbi minn

My papa

O my Papa
How wonderful your love was
O my Papa
You always took my side

There never was one
As loving as you
O my Papa
You always knew me well

Time has passed
Since you held my child's hand
Smiling sweetly
You turned sorrow to joy

O my Papa
I loved your joyful spirit
With happy ease
You played in your own way

O my Papa
How wonderful your love was
Childhood memories
Warm me today

Time has passed
Since you held my child's hand
Smiling sweetly
You turned sorrow to joy

O my Papa
I loved your joyful spirit
With happy ease
You played in your own way

O my Papa
How wonderful your love was
Childhood memories
Warm me today
