Lyrics:
Brot

Engir stormar í nótt hafa að mér sótt
Aldrei þessu vant

Ég hef gengið á skjön, allt mitt líf og plön
lenda upp á kant.

Og þó ég geti stundum reynt, að sigla í lífinu beint
Sækir óreiðan að.

Fyllir hugann af hríð heimsins harða tíð
Finn engan felustað.

Fæ ég í dag kannski stundarfrið?
Finn ég á þessum stað tímabundin grið, Eitt andartak.

Ég hef hrakist um haf, sokkið á bólakaf
Siglt hjarta mínu í strand

Komist aftur á flot, fengið á sálina brot
ekki ratað í land.

Og þó að stundum virðist ró, illa gengur þó
Að lægja öldurnar.

Samt þá tilhugsun tel, að tímans stytti upp él,
mér til lífsbjargar.

Fæ ég í dag kannski stundarfrið
Finn ég á þessum stað tímabundin grið, Eitt andartak...

Fæ ég í dag kannski stundarfrið?
Finn ég á þessum stað tímabundin grið?
Gæti ég í smá stund, verið eins og þið?
Eitt andartak, eitt andartak,
Eitt andartak.


English translation:
No storms have tormented me this night
for a change.

I have walked a crooked path, all my life and plans
lie askew.

And even if I can sometimes try, to sail straight in this life
chaos draws near.

Fills my mind with a blizzard, the hard time of this world
find no place to hide.

Will I today get maybe a short peace?
Will I find in this place temporary sanctuary, just for a moment?

I have sailed around the sea, sunk below the waves,
crashed my heart on cliffs.

Got back afloat, the waves broke on my soul,
I could not find my way to land.

And even if sometimes it seems quiet, it goes not easily,
calming the waves.

Still, the thought that time's hail will ease
I count to my life's salvation.

Will I today get maybe a short peace?
Will I find in this place temporary sanctuary, just for a moment?
Could I just for a spell, be like you?
Just for a moment.
