Ljóð í sand [English translation]

By the long coast, staring into space

She would think for a long time, far too much

As time went by, so many things changed

And nobody had ever seen such a thing

The next night, on our way home

We hadn’t noticed

The heavy clouds rumbling above us.

The tide rose

And I wrote in the dark sand

Your poems and my secrets

So many hours going by

She could feel the pain then, far too much.

She held out her hands, one token gesture

And she wept without ever getting any answer

The next night, on my way home

I had barely noticed

The heavy clouds rumbling above me.

The tide rose

And I wrote in the dark sand

Your poems and my secrets
