Þad Sést Ekki Sætari Mey Lyrics - Gling-gló - Björk

Thad lenti drtti, - It was quite a delay 

ad mdir mn mig tti, - When my mother had me 

thvi hn var svo gskid grey. - But then she's such a slender sort 

En lknrinn var sttur, - The doctor was fetched 

og loksins l hn dttur, - And finally her daughter was born 

og thd sst ekki stari mey. - And none had ever seen a sweeter girl 

En pabbi var sjalfur, - My father spent usually 

sjnum alltaf hlfur, - His time at sea half-drunk 

svo hann gat ekki lengur sagt nei. - But he could not deny me 

Fyrst var hann mjg sleginn, - At first he was rather shocked 

en seinna sagdi hann feginn. - But then he said, relieved 

Ad thad sst ekki stari mey. - None shall ever see a sweeter girl 

Stari mey, - Such a sweet girl 

stari mey, - Such a sweet girl 

nei thad sst ekki stari mey. - There is no sweeter girl 

Og fyrr en mig vardi, - Before I knew it 

hver strkur mig stardi, - Every boy would gaze at me 

eins og stelpur gleym-mr-ei. - As girls gaze at Forget-Me-Nots 

Their fru ad skjlfa, - They'd shiver 

og sgdu vid sig sjlfa, - And say to themselves 

hn er sorglega stygg, - She's hard to get - 

en mjg trygg, ad g hygg, - But very loyal, I think 

og thad sst ekki stari mey. - And there is no sweeter girl 

g lrdi i bernsku, - I learned quite early 

ad blikka finni ensku, - To speak proper English 

og min sngrdd var sweet and gay. - And my song was sweet and gay 

En vestur landi, - But while out west 

g lenti hjnabandi. - I stumbled into marriage 

Thad er sorglegt fyrir sidprda mey - It was sad for such a nice girl 

Hann lagdi sinn vana, - He was used to 

ad elska* Amerkana, - Loving American girls 

svo g kyssti hann og sagdi OK. - So I kissed him and said OK 

En illt var efni, - Then I discovered deceit 

hann var damla svefni, - When he spoke in his sleep 

og th reyndist hann, - And I found out 

ramm islenskt grey. - He was very Icelandic after all 

Islenskt grey, - Just a poor Icelander 

islenskt grey, - Just a poor Icelander 

sem sdist islenska mey. - Who wanted an Icelandic girl 

En n er nnur ldin, - Everything has since changed 

g dansa kt kvldin, - Now I go dancing every night 

og thiy kalla mig gleym-mr-ei. - And boys call me Forget-Me-Not 

Og piltarnir their skjlfa, - And they shiver 

their segja vid sig sjlfa, - They say to themselves 

nei, th setydir mr blossandi st. - No, you send me currents of love 

Thvlkt hnoss! - Such luck! 

Thvi thad sst ekki stari mey. - Since there is no sweeter girl.
