Starálfur staring elf
Blá nótt yfir himininn blue night over the sky
blá nótt yfir mér blue night over me
horf-inn út um gluggann dis-appeared out of the window
minn međ hendur me with hands
faldar undir kinn hidden under my cheek
hugsum daginn minn i think about my day
í dag og í gćr today and yesterday
blá náttfötin klćđa mig í i put on my blue nighties
beint upp í rúm go straight to bed
breiđi mjúku sćngina i pull the soft covers over
loka augunum close my eyes
ég fel hausinn minn undir sćng i hide my head under the covers
starir á mig lítill álfur a little elf stares at me
hleypur ađ mér en hreyfist ekki runs towards me but doesn't move
úr stađ – sjálfur from place - himself
starálfur a staring elf
opna augun i open my eyes
stírurnar úr take the crusts out
teygi mig og tel (hvort ég sé ekki) stretch myself and check (if i haven't)
kominn aftur og alltalltílć returned again and everything is okay
samt vantar eitthvađ still there is something missing
eins og alla vegginna like all the walls
