Vísur Vatnsenda-Rósu

Vísur Vatnsenda-Rósu

Vísur Vatnsenda-Rósu (English: "Quatrains by Rose from Vatnsendi") is a traditional Icelandic song. The lyrics are a poem written by Rósa Guðmundsdóttir (1795 - 1855); the melody is a traditional lullabye song, arranged by Jón Ásgeirsson.

The song is most famous for its performance for Hector Zazou's album "Chansons des mers froides" (Songs from the cold seas) by Icelandic singer/songwriter Björk; it also appears on Björk's third "Possibly Maybe" single CD.

It has also been performed by Swedish-Icelandic band Nåid, among others.

Lyrics

:"Augað mitt og augað þitt,":"og þá fögru steina":"mitt er þitt og þitt er mitt,":"þú veizt, hvað eg meina."

:"Trega eg þig manna mest":"mædd af tára flóði,":"ó, að við hefðum aldrei sést,":"elsku vinurinn góði."

:"Langt er síðan sá eg hann,":"sannlega fríður var hann,":"allt, sem prýða mátti einn mann,":"mest af lýðum bar hann."

:"Engan leit eg eins og þann":"álma hreyti hjarta.":"Einn guð veit eg elskaði hann":"af öllum reit míns hjarta."

:"Þó að kali heitur hver,":"hylji dali og jökul ber,":"steinar tali og allt, hvað er,":"aldrei skal eg gleyma þér."

:"Augað snart er tárum tært,":"tryggð í partast mola,":"mitt er hjartað sárum sært,":"svik er hart að þola."

:"Beztan veit eg blóma þinn,":"blíðu innst í reitum.":"Far vel Eyjafjörður minn,":"fegri öllum sveitum."

:"Man eg okkar fyrri fund,":"forn þó ástin réni.":"Nú er eins og hundur hund":"hitti á tófugreni."
