Til hennar

Ég sendi þér í litlu ljóði

ljúfust orða minna

skáldið auma skreytir sig

skugga vængja þinna

Sumrin liðu ljósum hraðar

lýstu stjörnur vetur

aldrei hafa áður tvö

elskast lengur betur

Sú skamma stund er æskan okkur entist

var sem draumur

í tilhlökkun ég tæpast sá

hvað tíminn var naumur

To Her

I’m sending you my moving words

In a little poem

The miserable poet adorns himself

With the shadow of your wings

Summers went faster than the light

The stars illuminated Winter

Never before have two people

Been so much in love together

The short time our youth lasted

Was like a dream

Blinded by my waiting, I could barely see

How short time was

I'd like to thank my Icelandic teacher Bjarni, who helped me with the second verse, which I could almost understand, but wasn't sure of the meaning (these Icelandic structures you know...).

Hi, thanks a lot. Well that's funny, because I'm in Reykjavík right now, and yesterday I just met Jófríður Ákadóttir, singer of Samaris, in a bar. I'm gonna see what I can do with this, and if I fail I can try to make it listened by an Icelander :)
As I know you know faroese, could you read my translation of Vøka by Eivør Pálsdóttir please? I'm a beginner in faroese, and so I'm not sure of my translation...
Takk fyrir!

lol omg, you met one of the Samaris group, that's amazing! being in Iceland in itself is amazing :)
I'd love to see what you can do with these transcriptions.
I could take a look at your Faroese work, but just know that I have never actually learned Faroese. I can understand some Icelandic and Faroese due to my Norwegian studies, which is the only one of the Scandinavian languages (mainland and insular) I actually study.

If you let me some time (because I'm currently studying in Iceland), I can try to make a transcription yes.
So we are a bit alike about faroese, I use my Icelandic and Swedish studies to help me.
