Flugufrelsarinn [English translation]

Hullabaloo, I rushed down to the lake

A savior

I built a ship and said a small prayer

Because I was scared

The sun shone and the lake flowed

Sunflowers, sunflowers, flies die

But today, I must save the most flies possible

I carry a string in each hand- determined

I throw myself into the abyss and try

To pull the flies in before

But the juveniles reach them where they fight

The stream and the water

So the day wears on

Going aboard, I had begun to fight the stream

Which had already killed so many

I can not breathe and I am heavier with every wave

I need a miracle

Because I am drowning- sins

I try to get on board

I pulled ashore and saved myself

Onto the beach

I set myself on a hot stone and let myself dry again

I throw myself into the abyss and try

To pull the flies in before

But the juveniles reach them where they fight

The stream and the water

A flurry, completely soaked

Bold, feeling the boat at the strongest current

And the land gradually approaches

He is both on

Sea and land, saving

Flies that die here

Though especially himself

Eternal war and peace nowhere

But it will not know a good sacrifice

The days are long
