Lyrics:
Myrk er þokan og mjó þau sund
sem marka leið í var.
Hljóður sit og hlusta um stund,
svo heyri fjallsins svar.

Lágan syng leiðartón,
landi fjarri enn.
Felur sig í fjarskanum,
finn ég áttir senn.

Fjallið tað er kvirt, men kennir teg
havið, sum berjir støðugt inn á seg
tokan hylur klettarnar
sum altíð fara at síggja veruleikan.

Læðist þokan lygn og mjúk,
Ljóð sem felur ótal leyndarmál.
Í sanginum finna vit sannleikan
sálin finnur í lögunum ljós.

English translation:

Dark is the mist and narrow the straits
that mark the way to the haven.
Silently I sit and listen for a while
to hear the answer of the mountain.

A low song of guidance I sing,
far away from land still.
Hides in the distance,
I will find my way soon.

The mountain stands still but it hears you,
the ocean constantly beats its sides.
The mist hides the rocks,
that always recognise reality.

The mist sneaks soft and sweet,
a poem that hides untold secrets.
In the music we find the truth
and the soul sees the light in the song.
