TEXT
Sjáum yfir rá
Sjóinn skerum frá
Við siglum mastri trú
Seglum þöndum
Við stýrum að í brú
Við siglum í land
Í stórgrýti og sand
Við vöðum í land
Ófremdarástand
Já, anskotann
Feginn fann ég þar
Þökkum ákaflega
Í skjóli neyðarhúss
Og við sváfum
Stórviðri ofsaði út
TRANSLATION
We look over the rudder
Cut off the sea
We sail by the mast
Stretch the sails
We steer towards the bridge
We sail ashore
Up on the large rocks and the sand
We wade ashore
What a mess
There I found myself
Endlessly thanking
Sheltered in a makeshift house
And we slept
As the storm died down
