Þú dregur mig nær svo ég heyri í dropunum óma um mig.
Nærmynd af tíma og stað sem ég tilheyri ekki.
Ég finn ylinn af nærveru þinni, jafnvel langt eftir að þú ert ekki lengur hér.
Í fjarska heyri ég enn í þér, bergmál dropanna sem hvísla enn að mér.
Ég flý kuldann sem umlykur rýmið þar sem þú varst eitt sinn, ég hverf inn í tímaskekkju þar sem staður og stund verða að engu.
You draw me in so I can hear the drops.
Close up from a time and space where I don´t belong.
I can sense the warmth from your presence, even long after you´ve gone.
From a distance I can still hear you in the echo.
I flee the cold that surrounds the space where you once were.
