STARÁLFUR (engl.) Songtext

von Sigur Ros

A STARING ELF

BLUE NIGHT OVER
THE SKY
BLUE NIGHT
OVER ME
LOOK OUT THIS WINDOW
ME WITH HANDS
HIDDEN UNDER MY CHEEKS
I THINK OF MY DAY
TODAY AND YESTERDAY

THESE BLUE PYJAMAS
I DRESS MYSELF INTO
I GO STRAIGHT TO BED
I TUCK THE SOFT
QUILT
SHUT MY EYES
I HIDE MY HEAD
UNDER THE QUILT

STARING AT ME
A LITTLE ELF
HE RUNS TOWARDS ME
BUT DOESN'T MOVE
OUT OF PLACE
HIMSELF
A STARING ELF

I OPEN MY EYES
WIPE THE SLEEP OUT
STRETCH MYSELF
AND CHECK
--whether or not I've--
COME BACK
AND ALL: ALL IS O K
YET SOMETHING IS MISSING
-like all the walls--

STARING AT ME
A LITTLE ELF
HE RUNS TOWARDS ME
BUT DOESN'T MOVE
OUT OF PLACE
MYSELF
I AM
