Sumargestur [English translation]

My bird from afar bears

the joy of spring for me.

Over the great wide ocean,

always - flies on the right path .

Perches on a green branch,

good to rest tired bones.

Sings a heart-warming song.

I listen to - life's adventures.

I willingly thank my bird

for this happy message

these sweet clear tones , tones

When Autumn comes again ,

I sincerely pray that

I may sing your song ,

summer visitor, - my little bird .

I willingly thank my bird

for this happy message ;

these sweet clear tones , tones .

You have a refuge deep in the soul,

oh, if I could speak bird language ,

I would weave a song on the guitar.
