Lyrics Bjork – Gling–Gló
Text:
Gling gló, klukkan sló, — Tic toc, the clock chimed
máninn ofar skyum hló, — Moon smiled above the clouds
lysti upp gamli gótuslód, — Lighting the old trail
thar gladleg Lína stód. — There Lina gaily stood
Gling gló, klukkan sló, — Tic toc, the clock chimed
máninn ofar skyum hló,- Moon smiled above the clouds
Leitar Lási var á leid, — Lasi from Leiti was on his way
til Lína hanns er beid. — To Lina awaiting him
Unnendum er máninn kær, — To sweethearts the moon is dear
umm thau tófraljóma slær. — Around them falls its magic light
Lási á bidilsbuxum var, — Lasi wore his suitor’s breeches
brátt frá Línu fær hann svar. — Soon from Lina came his reply
Gling gló, klukkan sló, — Tic toc, the clock chimed
máninn ofar skyum hló. — Moon smiled above the clouds
Lási vard svo hyr á brá, — Lasi wore a happy smile
thvi Lína sagdi «Já». — For Lina answered «Yes»
máninn ofar skyum hló,- Moon smiled above the clouds
Leitar Lási var á leid, — Lasi from Leiti was on his way
til Lína hanns er beid. — To Lina awaiting him
Unnendum er máninn kær, — To sweethearts the moon is dear
umm thau tófraljóma slær. — Around them falls its magic light
Lási á bidilsbuxum var, — Lasi wore his suitor’s breeches
brátt frá Línu fær hann svar. — Soon from Lina came his reply
Gling gló, klukkan sló, — Tic toc, the clock chimed
máninn ofar skyum hló. — Moon smiled above the clouds
Lási vard svo hyr á brá, — Lasi wore a happy smile
thvi Lína sagdi «Já». — For Lina answered «Yes»
