Alta Mira

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Eitt sinn tók ég tali gamlan tötralegan mann

ég var á vappi niðri við höfn

á bryggjunni stóð hann

hann sagði mer frá landi einu

langt af leið þad er

og nú er eins og etthvad hafi brostið inní mér

Alta Mira ævintýralandið er

Alta Mira þangað hugurinn mig mer

Alta Mira ævintýralandid er

Alta Mira þangað hugurinn mig ber

Sá gamli sagði mer þar sólin sægræn

væri á lit

i sjónum spekinginslegar syntu kýrnar

út a hlið

hann seli sá í söngleik í silfurtitum skóm

um torgin toltu tífælur i kjólfötum með blóm

Alta Mira ævintýralandið er

Alta Mira þangað hugurinn mig mer

Alta Mira ævintýralandid er

Alta Mira þangað hugurinn mig ber
