Mín Lethe ~ My Lethe

Mín trega rapul við vegur av vatnast,

og blóðig gráta niðast báði og mín føvningur.

Mín glæstri oygdur svíkja mín ektaður grunur,

for Í føla so dimmi, álvuligur.

Innan Í skjóla.

Og innan har, Í fella burt, sum um Í hava tær doyggja,

og fella, um enn sum a dreygur fella.

 

Tú bjarga meg frá sjálvur.

Innan mín dimmi dagur, tú kom for meg.

Mín lethe. Mín ást. Mín vindrongur.

Takkar.

 

~Translation~

 

My pain falls by way of tears of water from my eyes,

and ****** tears down both of my arms.

My shining eyes betray my true thoughts,

for I feel so dark, not very happy.

Inside I hide.

And in there, I swooned away, as if I had been dying,

and fell away, even as a dead body falls.

 

You save me from myself.

In my darkest days, you came for me.

My lethe. My love. My friend.

Thank you.

 

 

(Inspired by Turid Torkilsdottir by Tyr and also one small part taken from "Dante's Inferno" The Epic Poem.)
