Sex sönglög

Song Cycle by Jórunn Viðar (1918 - 2017)

1. Kall sat undir kletti
 (Sung text)

Language: Icelandic (Íslenska) 
Kall sat undir kletti
og kordur sínar sló
hann hafði skegg svo skrýtið
og skögultön og hló
hann hafði skegg svo skrýtilegt
og skögultön og hló

Huldan uppí hamri
heyrði ljúfan klið
hún læddist útúr hamri
og lagði eyrun við
hún læddist útúr hamrinum
og lagði eyrun við.

Síðan hefur hvorugt hér
um slóðir sést.
Sá gamli varvíst ekki
eins gamall og hann lést
sá gamli varvíst ekki nærri
eins gamall og hann lést.

6. Mamma ætlar að sofna  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: Icelandic (Íslenska) 
Sestu hérna hjá mér
systir mín góð,
í kvöld skulum við vera
kyrrlát og hljóð.
Í kvöld skulum við vera
kyrrlát, af því
að mamma ætlar að reyna sofna
rökkrinu í.

Mamma ætlar að sofna
og mamma er svo þreytt,
og sumir eiga sorgir
sem svefninn getur eytt.
Sumir eiga sorgir
og sumir eiga þrá,
sem aðeins í draumheimum
uppfyllast má.

Í kvöld skulum við vera
kyrrlát og hljóð,
mamma ætlar að sofna
systir mín góð.
