Sigur Rós - Ára Bátur (Row boat)
“Þú reyndir allt
Já, þúsundfalt
Upplifðir nóg
Komin með nóg
En það varst þú sem allt
Lést í hjarta mér
Og það varst þú sem andann aftur
Kveiktir inní mér
Eg fór, þú fórst
Þú rótar í
Tilfinningum
I hrærivél
Allt úti um allt
En það varst þú sem alltaf varst
Til staðar fyrir mann
Það varst þú sem aldrei dæmdir
Sannur vinur manns
Eg fór, þú fórst
(hopelandic)
Þú siglir á fljótum
Yfir á gömlum ára
Sem skítlekur
Þú syndir að landi
Ýtir frá öldugangi
Ekkert vinnur á
Þú flýtur á sjónum
Sefur á yfirborði
Ljós í þokunni.”
Translation:
“You tried everything
Yes, a thousand times
Experienced enough
Been through enough
But it was you who let everything
Into my heart
and it was you who once again
Awoke my spirit
I parted, you parted
You stir up
Emotions
In a blender
Everything in disarray
But it was you who was always
There for me
and it was you who never judged
My true friend
I parted, you parted
You sail on rivers
With an old oar
Leaking badly
You swim to shore
Pushed the waves away
But to no avail
You float on the sea
Sleep on the surface
Light through the fog.”
I was going to quote just a part of the song but it’s impossible! the whole song is just perfect! It’s a long song so it’s okay if you don’t want to listen to it all, but omg check out the lyrics! it’s amazing! :D
