Alta Mira
Eitt sinn tok eg tali gamlan totralegan mann
Eg var a vappi nidri vid hofn
A bryggjunni stod hann
Hann sagdi mer fra landi einu
Langt af leid pad er
Og nu er eins og etthvad hafi brostid inni mer
Alta mira aevintyralandid er
Alta mira pangad hugurinn mig mer
Alta mira aevintyralandid er
Alta mira pangad hugurinn mig ber
Sa gamli sagdi mer par solin saegraen
Vaeri a lit I sjonum spekinginslegar syntu kyrnar
Ut a hlid Hann seli sa I singleik I silfurtitum skom
Um torgin toltu tifaelur I kjolfotum med blom
Alta mira aevintyralandid er
Alta mira pangad hugurinn mig mer
Alta mira aevintyralandid er
Alta mira pangad hugurinn mig ber
[Verse 1]
One day I talked to old man in ragged clothes
I was walking near the harbour - he stood on the docks
[Verse 2]
He told me about the special country, far away it is
And now it's like something has burst inside me
[Chorus]
Alta Mira - is the adventure land
Alta Mira - my mind carries me there
Alta Mira - is the adventure land
Alta Mira - my mind carries me there
[Verse 3]
The old man told me that the Sun was seagreen over there
In the sea there were wise cows swimming on the side
[Verse 4]
A seal was in a musical in silver coloured shoes
In the squares roamed centipedes in flowery tuxedos
[Chorus]
Alta Mira - is the adventure land
Alta Mira - my mind carries me there
Alta Mira - is the adventure land
Alta Mira - my mind carries me there
[Outro]
Hey - Alta Mira - lalalalala-lala
