All that I had
In which I took delight
Out of sight
All that of which I dreamt
All that I was longing for
Now lost somewhere in time
Dreams that hold a nation
Dreams that hold a nation
Time comes to turn
Misfortunes back around
Gaining ground
Time will return for dreams
Time for what we're longing for
By law we built this land
Would that it forever stand
Dreams that hold a nation
Dreams that hold a nation
Allt, sem í¾jóí°in átti og naut,
Allt, sem hana dreymir,
Allt, sem híº í¾ráí°i og aldrei hlaut,
Alí¾ýí°ustakan geymir.
(English Translation)
"All that the nation had and enjoyed
All that it dreams of
All that it longed for and never had
Is kept in folklore"
Dreams that hold a nation
Dreams that hold a nation
Allt, sem í¾jóí°in átti og naut,
Allt, sem hana dreymir,
Allt, sem híº í¾ráí°i og aldrei hlaut,
Alí¾ýí°ustakan geymir.
