Úlfur

Wolf

Hail falls from above

Snow wading through a black blizzard

With the devil in a bottle

Voices echo loudly in her head this night

Sitting and staring alone by a stone

Tears color the ground

without glaciers the mountains are flat

one crawls naked in the dark

her spirit drifts away

and the blackness fills everything

disappearing into the earth

Calm conquers the storm

in a vacuum she watches

her strength fades with sadness

slipping into its grip

from life, and awaits reunion.

She starves herself.

That word was written down wrong. It sounds like mátturinn to me.

A few other bits are also written incorrectly. For instance this "óð það snjó" I believe is actually "óð þar snjó" (otherwise the cases don't make sense), so that bit would be "one woman waded there through the snow in a black blizzard with the devil in a bottle". It's easier to understand if you move the components around like this: Ein óð þar snjó í svörtum byl með vítið í flöskunni. Seems to be a song about a woman who gets drunk and dies of exposure.

And of course it should be tómarúm not tömarúm, but you got that one ;)

Sátt there is the adjective sáttur, not the noun sátt (again, you can tell from the cases).

Hope you don't mind, saw you were asking for help on this one.

There's a lot going on in this one that I'm not sure why I wrote, I just ended up changing a good portion of it.
