lyrics

DYRNAR ERU OPNAR

Dyrnar eru opnar,
men eingin veit, hvar ið tær eru.
Leitanin er byrjað,
men alt livandi og deytt stendur á berum.

Sólin hon stavar, eingin vandi hóttir,
tosar bert í gátum, sum eitt, ið ótt er.

Tú kanst ganga og ganga,
men ongastaðni, har onnur ikki stigu.
Tú kanst mála og mála,
men handa myndin hjá tær verður ongantíð liðug.

Sólin hon skelkir og svíður alt livandi av.
Úr dusti verða menniskju, tey vakna og anda,
men noyðast so aftur tunga vegin undir kav.

Tú kanst bjóða av og leypa á,
men tað varir bert eina løtu.
Eingin sleppur framvið varðmonnunum,
teir ganga ongum á møti.

Skýggini turrari enn nakrantíð.
Hvørnin hon gresjar, dagurin er tøkur.
Dunar sum ein fossur, tutlar sum ein løkur.
