Eg Veit Ei Hvae Skal Segja

Eg veit ei hvad skal segja
Eg hugsa dag og nott
Thad veldur stundum vanda
Ad vera eftirsott!

Eg er svo ung og oreynd sal
Og eti i hug mer byr
Eg myndi kasta kronu
En their eru bara thrir

Hvernig get eg vitad hvad skal segja
Efi og vafi i sal mer byr
Ekki get eg kastad kronu
Um karleikann thvi ad their eru thrir!

Thad er hart ad thurfa ad segja
Vid thennan "ja" eda "nei"
Ef eg elska tha alla, verd eg ad endingu piparmey!

Veit ei hvad skal segja
Eg held eg elski hann Jon
Hann dansar eins og engill
En ekur bil sem flon

Hann hrytur eins og hrutur
Svo eg festi ei blund a bra
Thad sagdi mer hun mamm' hans
Hun mamma hans, svei mer tha!

Hvernig get eg vitad hvad skal segja
Efi og vafi i sal mer byr
Ekki get eg kastad kronu
Um karleikann thvi ad their eru thrir!

Thad er hart ad thurfa ad segja
Um thennan "ja" eda "nei"
Ef eg elska tha alla, verd eg ad endingu piparmey!

Eg veit ei hvad skal segja
Eg held eg elski hann Geir
Hann hvislar stundum "Heyrdu!"
En sidan aldrei meir!

Eg kysst' hann eitt kvoldid
Nei, hann kyssti mig, svei mer tha!
Tha hropadi drengur hissa:
"Nei heyrdu! Eg rak mig a!"

Hvernig get eg vitad hvad skal segja
Efi og vafi i sal mer byr
Ekki get eg kastad kronu
Um karleikann thvi ad their eru thrir!

Thad er hart ad thurfa ad segja
Vid thennan "ja" eda "nei"
Ef eg elska tha alla, verd eg ad endingu piparmey!

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

Hans atlot kveikja astarbal
Svo undarlega heit
Thad segja thar Svana og Gunna
En eg sjalf veit ei meir!

Hvernig get eg vitad hvad skal segja
Efi og vafi i sal mer byr
Ekki get eg kastad kronu
Um karleikann thvi ad their eru thrir!

Thad er hart ad thurfa ad segja
Vid thennan "ja" eda "nei"
Ef eg elska tha alla, verd eg ad endingu piparmey!

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 Jon
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"
If I should choose to love all three, I'll end up all alone!
