Leiðin okkar allra – Song Lyrics and English Translation:

I’m going to hold out
Ég ætla mér, út að halda

Fate causes it
Örlögin valda því

I have many people to pay
Mörgum á ég, greiða að gjalda

There is an old story and a new one
Það er gömul saga og ný

Still only God knows where my path leads
Enn Guð einn veit, hvert leið mín liggur

Life is so complicated
Lífið svo flókið er

Often I am, in the heart of a spine
Oft ég er, í hjarta hryggur

But I still work hard
En ég harka samt af mér

One little hug, dear mom
Eitt lítið knús, elsku mamma

Before I go
Áður en ég fer

Now I have come to say goodbye
Nú er ég kominn til að kveðja

I will never come here again
Ég kem aldrei framar hér

Is the moonlight, beautifies the mountains
Er mánaljósið, fegrar fjöllin

I follow my path
Ég feta veginn minn

The door opens the palace of dreams
Dyrnar opnar draumahöllin

And pulls me in there
Og dregur mig þar inn

I thank you send, send everyone
Ég þakkir sendi, sendi öllum

This is my greeting
Þetta er kveðja mín

I will walk on this road
Ég mun ganga á þessum vegi

Until the day of life fades away
Uns lífsins dagur dvín

I will walk on this road
Ég mun ganga á þessum vegi

Until the day of life fades away
Uns lífsins dagur dvín
