Dag eftir dag
Einsamall á hól
Náunginn undarlegi
Þar sem hannin gól
Enginn vill um hann vita
Og þeir benda hvar kjánnin fer
Han þraukar samt áfram sjálfur
Veizt um álf ut á hól
Hann sér dýrðlega sól
Og hans augu sjá meir
þau sjá heim, falinn þeim
Bidd'ann um hjálp
Þá kemur han fljótt
Hann sem á þúsund raddir
Hvislar sannleikan hljótt
Enginn vill hlusta á hann
Eða hljóðin í leyndum söng
Hann virðist samt ekki vita
Veizt um álf ut á hól
Hann sér dýrðlega sól
Og hans augu sjá meir
þau sjá heim, falinn þeim
Enginn vil líta til hans
I kofanum suður með sjó
Han þraukar samt áfram sjálfur
Veizt um álf ut á hól
Hann sér dýrðlega sól
Og hans augu sjá meir
þau sjá heim, falinn þeim
Enginn vill hlusta á hann
Og þeir benda hvar kjáninn fer
Han þraukar samt áfram sjálfur
Veizt um álf ut á hól
Hann sér dýrðlega sól
Og hans augu sjá meir
þau sjá heim, falinn þeim
English:
Fool from a hill
Day after day
Alone on a hill
The strange guy
Where the roster crowed
No one wants to know about him
And they point where he goes
He still holds out alone
Do you know about a fool on a hill
He can see a precious sun
And his eyes see more
They see a world, a hidden world
Ask him for a help
He comes quickly
He that has thousand voices
Whisper the truth quickly
No one wants to listen to him
Or the sound in a secret song
Which he doesn't know at all
Do you know about a fool on a hill
He can see a precious sun
And his eyes see more
They see a world, a hidden world
No one wants to see him
In the hut in the south with a lake
He still holds out alone
Do you know about a fool on a hill
He can see a precious sun
And his eyes see more
They see a world, a hidden world
No one wants to listen to him
And they point where he goes
He still holds out alone
Do you know about a fool on a hill
He can see a precious sun
And his eyes see more
They see a world, a hidden world
