I would run away with you again
They became best friends ever
right from the start.
He was five, she was seven.
They’d never part.
All day long, together strong
I would run away with you again
Sometimes excistance
became insanity
Together they hid under
the balcony.
When things went wrong, together strong.
I would run away with you again
Again, I would run away.
Again, I would run away with you, again.
Listen to records under
a blanket roof.
Against the world their friendship
was shatterproof.
Like in a song, together strong.
I would run away with you again

Hvar varstu?

Hvar varstu?
hvar varstu þegar ég...
lástu þegar ég...
gekkstu þegar ég...
stóð ein – alein?
hví hljópstu þegar ég...
hlóstu þegar ég...
fórstu þegar ég...
var ein - í meinum?
móðir mín í móðu
draugur en lifir
án þess þó að hafa dáið
þúsund sinnum
en lifnar við
Við eigum upprisuna
saman

Secret Place
03:57

Kept her secret safe
Ev’ryday she had to be so brave
No one could know
‘bout her sorrow and fawn
Kept her head up high
Everyday she looked up to the sky
Praying and hoping
That all would be gone
Escaped in to silence
Wrapped in embarrassment
No one could know
Nothing to show
Compliance
There’s a secret place
Where love and hope fills all the space
White and gentle
Soft place to fall
If I close my eyes
I can see the birds and butterflies
All is wrapped in kindness
And love
It stops all the violence
Just beautiful silence
No more disguise
And she will rise
Like a Phoenix
Like a Phoenix........

So wrong/Lullaby for the past
(Jackie Allen/Bill Anschell)
Lately when I think of you
And I try to explain
All the bitter pain
You brought to her youth long ago
After all these years she’s afraid
Still from the memories you’ve made
How can she forgive the past
When you show no regret
For the innocents
You started confusion of love
Your illusion was very strong
Still what you did was so wrong

Snjókornið

Ég sigli um á snjókorni
við hlið mér skoppar íkorni
og pælir skarpt í poppkorni
með sínu klóka skyni.
Í öðru hverju heimshorni
við hittum nýja vini.
Úr himinbláma rignir blautum bátum
sem bera með sér svör við lífsins gátum.
Þeim mikla fróðleik fjólublöðin skvetta:
Úr mömmufræum kærleiksblómin spretta
Við mætum stórum vindmyllum
sem varpa frá sér saltpillum
á undurmjúkum tátillum
og tjútta út á torgum.
Þær dansa grimmt með górillum
og gleyma öllum sorgum.
Úr himinbláma rignir blautum bátum
sem bera með sér svör við lífsins gátum.
Þeim mikla fróðleik fjólublöðin skvetta:
Úr mömmufræum kærleiksblómin spretta

Dauði Ófelíu

DAUÐI ÓFELÍU
Hún hljóp sem himinfætla upp´ í hlíðar
og hló og söng og grét með ljúfum rómi.
Þá tillti´ hún bak við eyrað túnvorsblómi
sem teygði sig á kinnar niður fríðar.
Á fjórum fótum skreið í mosalyngi
var líkt og vildi fela sig í leyni
en hruflaði sig skarpt á hrjúfum steini
samt heyrðist mér þó ennþá að hún syngi.
Hún spratt á fætur, flaug sem fælin lóa,
á örskotsstund var stödd á klettastalli.
Svo hvarf hún mér. Næst sá ég hana dána.
Hún féll. Ég hljóp sem mest ég gat um móa.
Þar flaut hún burt frá fossins þunga falli
skreytt fagurlitum blómum niður ána.
Svo hvarf hún mér. Næst sá ég hana dána.

Impress the boy
The song
Was written
By the girl
For the occasion
To impress the boy
The song
Was complex
In form
And chord progression
To impress the boy
The song
Was performed
With love
And graceful gestures
To impress the boy

Dásamlega drenginn minn

Dásamlega drenginn minn
Dásamlega drenginn minn
draugar elta á röndum.
Ég horfi upp á hryllinginn.
Harmur flaug í hjartað inn.
Á hengiflugi stöndum.
Burt er horfið brosið hlýtt.
Hjartað gleðisnauða
ólmast í mér ótt og títt.
Óhamingjan hefur grýtt
okkur inn í dauða.
Þitt háa vit nú horfið er
sem hljómur skemmdri bjöllu.
Sjá, ég fell að fótum þér.
Ó, viltu fyrirgefa mér.
Ég sé svo eftir öllu.

Charlie
(music and lyrics by Kristjana Stefans)
Charlie, sweet Charlie
He came into her life
When she least expected it
He was the silent type
Dark and mysterious
She tried to play it cool
With no expectations
But he stole her crazy heart so gently
Charlie, sweet Charlie
They knew it from the start,
hat this love was not meant to be.
But still they wanted more,
more then they could handle
‘cause issues from the past
took all their attention
so they gave up the chance to fall in love, oh
Charlie, sweet Charlie
Charlie, oh Charlie
Why did your love have to be so tender
Charlie, sweet Charlie
To you her heart will surrender
He told her that his heart
was hers forever,
but it was forbidden love.
Not the right timing
‘cause there was another girl
he felt obligated to.
So she was left with her heart in turmoil
Charlie, sweet Charlie
Charlie, oh Charlie
You touched her heart like no one before you
Charlie, sweet Charlie
You left her with love she cannot pursue
Charlie, sweet Charlie

FOR ALL TIME
It’s not what’s going on
It’s not what all this people want
It’s not about the things we said last night
It’s nothing on the news
It’s not about those arguments
It’s just that you are constant on my mind
And my love stays with you for all time....
It’s not because we’re lost
It’s not because of who I am
It’s not about the things we want in life
It’s not about the pain
It’s not because I’ve changed my mind
It’s just that you are constant on my mind
And my love stays with you for all time...
He saw the girl she was so pretty and so wonderful
His heart was flying like a Hummingbird
So he wanted to tell her this
She saw the boy he was so handsome and so inocent
Her heart was singing like a Nightingale
And so she wanted to tell him this
Yes my love stays with you for all time....

Faðmlag
Tilgangur lífsins er hjartans litla tif
og tveggja hjarta sláttur er hamingjunar drif
Sláum saman, sláum nú saman hjörtum
Háleiti lífsins er hugsun stór og smá
og falli hugir saman er má takmarkinu ná
Sláum saman, sláum nú saman hugum
Mín stóra spurn til þín
Já stór er spurning mín
Er Eros oss sem oxítósín?
Til hvers að lifa og aftur annan dag?
Til hvers að æða í annan hversdags slag?
Hvað eykur alheimshag?
