Day after day
Lonely on a hill
The strange guy
Where the rooster crowed

No one wants to know about him
And they point where he goes
He still holds out alone

Do you know about an elve on a hill
He can see a glorious sun
And his eyes see more
They see a world, a hidden world

Ask him for a help
He comes quickly
He has one thousand voices
Whisper teh 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 an elve on a hill
He can see a glorious sun
And his eyes see more
They see a world, a hidden world

No one wants to visit him
In the hud in the southwest
But still he holds out on his own

Do you know about an elve on a hill
He can see a glorious 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
But still he holds out on his own

Do you know about an elve on a hill
He can see a glorious sun
And his eyes see more
They see a world, a hidden world

[Icelandic:]

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...

Enginn vil líta til hans
Í kofanum suður með sjó
Han þraukar samt áfram sjálfur

Veizt um álf ut á hól...

Enginn vill hlusta á hann
Og þeir benda hvar kjáninn fer
Han þraukar samt áfram sjálfur

Veizt um álf ut á hól...
