Текст песни Bjork — ??ad S?©st Ekki S?¦tari Mey
Thad lenti ? dr?¦tti, - It was quite a delay
ad m??dir m?n mig ?¦tti, - When my mother had me
thvi h??n var svo g?skid grey. - But then she's such a slender sort
En l?¦knrinn var s??ttur, - The doctor was fetched
og loksins ??l h??n d??ttur, - And finally her daughter was born
og th??d s?(c)st ekki s?¦tari mey. - And none had ever seen a sweeter girl
En pabbi var sja??lfur, - My father spent usually
?? sj??num alltaf h??lfur, - His time at sea half-drunk
svo hann gat ekki lengur sagt nei. - But he could not deny me
Fyrst var hann mj?¶g sleginn, - At first he was rather shocked
en seinna sagdi hann feginn. - But then he said, relieved
Ad thad s?(c)st ekki s?¦tari mey. - None shall ever see a sweeter girl
S?¦tari mey, - Such a sweet girl
s?¦tari mey, - Such a sweet girl
nei thad s?(c)st ekki s?¦tari mey. - There is no sweeter girl
Og fyrr en mig vardi, - Before I knew it
hver str??kur ?? mig stardi, - Every boy would gaze at me
eins og stelpur ?? gleym-m?(c)r-ei. - As girls gaze at Forget-Me-Nots
Their f??ru ad skj??lfa, - They'd shiver
og s?¶gdu vid sig sj??lfa, - And say to themselves
h??n er sorglega stygg, - She's hard to get -
en mj??g trygg, ad ?(c)g hygg, - But very loyal, I think
og thad s?(c)st ekki s?¦tari mey. - And there is no sweeter girl
??g l?¦rdi i bernsku, - I learned quite early
ad blikka?? finni ensku, - To speak proper English
og min s?¶ngr?¶dd var sweet and gay. - And my song was sweet and gay
En vestur ?? landi, - But while out west
?(c)g lenti ? hj??nabandi. - I stumbled into marriage
Thad er sorglegt fyrir sidpr??da mey - It was sad for such a nice girl
Hann lagdi ? sinn vana, - He was used to
ad elska* Amer?kana, - Loving American girls
svo ?(c)g kyssti hann og sagdi OK. - So I kissed him and said OK
En illt var ? efni, - Then I discovered deceit
hann var ??dam??la ? 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 ??s?¦dist islenska mey. - Who wanted an Icelandic girl
En n?? er ?¶nnur ?¶ldin, - Everything has since changed
?(c)g dansa k??t ?? kv?¶ldin, - Now I go dancing every night
og thiy kalla mig gleym-m?(c)r-ei. - And boys call me Forget-Me-Not
Og piltarnir their skj??lfa, - And they shiver
their segja vid sig sj??lfa, - They say to themselves
nei, th?? setydir m?(c)r blossandi ??st. - No, you send me currents of love
Thv?l?kt hnoss! - Such luck!
Thvi thad s?(c)st ekki s?¦tari mey. - Since there is no sweeter girl.
