"Ég Veit Ei Hvað Skal Segja"


Ég veit ei hvad skal segja
Eg hugsa dag og nótt
Thad veldur stundum vanda
Ad vera eftirsótt!

Ég er svo ung og óreynd sál
Og eti í hug mér byr
Eg myndi kasta krónu
En their eru bara thrír

Hvernig get ég vitad hvad skal segja
Efi og vafi í sal mér byr
Ekki get ég kastad krónu
Um kærleikann thví ad their eru thrír!

Thad er hart ad thurfa ad segja
Vid thennan "já" eda "nei"
Ef ég elska thá alla, verd ég ad endingu piparmey!

Veit ei hvad skal segja
Eg held ég elski hann Jón
Hann dansar eins og engill
En ekur bíl sem flón

Hann hrytur eins og hrútur
Svo ég festi ei blund á brá
Thad sagdi mér hún mamm' hans
Hún mamma hans, svei mér thá!

Hvernig get ég vitad hvad skal segja
Efi og vafi í sal mér byr
Ekki get ég kastad krónu
Um kærleikann thví ad their eru thrír!

Thad er hart ad thurfa ad segja
Um thennan "já" eda "nei"
Ef ég elska thá alla, verd ég ad endingu piparmey!

Ég veit ei hvad skal segja
Eg held ég elski hann Geir
Hann hvíslar stundum "Heyrdu!"
En sídan aldrei meir!

Ég kysst' hann eitt kvöldid
Nei, hann kyssti mig, svei mér thá!
Thá hrópadi drengur hissa:
"Nei heyrdu! Ég rak mig á!"

Hvernig get ég vitad hvad skal segja
Efi og vafi í sal mér byr
Ekki get ég kastad krónu
Um kærleikann thví ad their eru thrír!

Thad er hart ad thurfa ad segja
Vid thennan "já" eda "nei"
Ef ég elska thá alla, verd ég ad endingu piparmey!

Ég veit ei hvad skal segja
Eg held ég elski hann Svein
Eg thori aldrei ad
Vera med honum ein

Hans atlot kveikja ástarbál
Svo undarlega heit
Thad segja thær Svana og Gunna
En ég sjálf veit ei meir!

Hvernig get ég vitad hvad skal segja
Efi og vafi í sal mér byr
Ekki get ég kastad krónu
Um kærleikann thví ad their eru thrír!

Thad er hart ad thurfa ad segja
Vid thennan "já" eda "nei"
Ef ég elska thá alla, verd ég ad endingu piparmey!

Translation:
I don't know what to say

I don't know what to say
I ponder day and night
It's troublesome at times
To be as popular as I!

Just a young and simple soul
And doubt still fills my mind
I'd choose by tossing a coin
But the boys I know are three!

How can I know what to say
When doubt still fills my soul
I cannot toss a coin
To choose my love, for the boys I know are three!

It's hard to have to say
'Bout this one "Yes" or "No"
If I should choose to love all three, I'll end up all alone!

I don't know what to say
I think I do love Jón
He dances like an angel
But drives just like a fool

He snores just like a ram
So I can't sleep a wink
At least, that's what his Mama said -
His Mama - I'll be damned!

How can I know what to say
When doubt still fills my soul
I cannot toss a coin
To choose my love, for the boys I know are three!

It's hard to have to say
'Bout this one "Yes" or "No"
If I should choose to love all three, I'll end up all alone!

I don't know what to say
I think I do love Geir
He used to whisper, "..Listen!"
But never anymore!

I kissed him on one night
No, he kissed me, I'll be damned!
Then said in shocked surprise:
"-No, I bumped into you, that's all!"

How can I know what to say
When doubt still fills my soul
I cannot toss a coin
To choose my love, for the boys I know are three!

It's hard to have to say
To this one "Yes" or "No"
If I should choose to love all three, I'll end up all alone!

I don't know what to say
I think I do love Svein
I never really dare
To be with him all alone

His caresses spark a loving flame
So strange and burning hot
So they tell me, Svana and Gunna
But I could not say myself!

How can I know what to say
When doubt still fills my soul
I cannot toss a coin
To choose my love, for the boys I know are three!

It's hard to have to say
To this one "Yes" or "No"
