Litli Tonlistarmaeurinn

Mamma - ertu vakandi mamma min?
Mamma - eg vil koma til thin
O mamma - gaman vari ad vera stor
Tha vildi eg stjorna badi hljomsveit og kor

Mamma - thu ert elskuleg, mamma min
Mer finnst, gott ad koma til thin
O en mamma adan dreymdi mig draum um thig
En datt tha framur, og thad trufladi mig

Thu varst drottning i harri holl
Hljomsveitin alfar, menn, og troll
Lek ther og song i senn
Thu varst svo storfengleg
Trollin thau bordu a bumburnar
Blomalfar leku a flauturnar
Fidlurnar mennskir menn
A mendolin eg
Mamma.

Allir mandum vid upp til thin
Eins og blom thegar solin skin
Er thinum fadmi fra
Gjafir flugu um allt

Flestum gekk vel ad gripa sitt
Gladur nadi eg fljott i mitt
En stoll er steig eg a
Stod tapt svo hann valt

O mamma- thu ert elskuleg mamma min
Mer finnst gott ad koma til thin
O mamma - gaman vari ad vera stor
Tha vildi eg stjorna badi hljomsveit og kor

 Little musician

Mama - are you awake my mama?
Mama - I want to come close to you
O mama, it would be so fun to be grown
I would conduct an orchestra and choir

Mama - You are so sweet, my mama
I like coming closer to you
Oh but Mama, earlier I dreamt a dream of you
I fell out of bed, and it upset me so.

You were a queen in a tall palace
The band elves, men, and trolls
Played for you and sang
You were so magnificent
The trolls they pounded the drums
Flower-elves played the flutes
The violins human beings
The mandolin I
Mama.

We all gazed up at you
Like flowers when the sun shines
And from your embrace
Gifts everywhere flew

Most easily caught theirs
Gladly I quickly caught mine
But the chair on which I perched
Tipped over and fell

Mama - You are so sweet, my mama
I like coming close to you
O mama, it would be so fun to be grown
I would conduct an orchestra and choir
