From:
Blá nótt yfir himininn
blá nótt yfir mér
horf-inn út um gluggann
minn međ hendur faldar undir kinn
hugsum daginn minn
í dag og í gćr
blá náttfötin klćđa mig í
beint upp í rúm
breiđi mjúku sćngina
loka augunum
ég fel hausinn minn undir sćng
starir á mig lítill álfur
hleypur ađ mér
en hreyfist ekki
úr stađ
sjálfur
starálfur
opna augun
stírurnar úr
teygi mig og tel
hvort ég sé ekki
kominn aftur
og alltalltílć
samt vantar eitthvađ
eins og alla vegginna.

Staring Elf
Blue night over the sky
Blue night over me
Disappeared out of the window
Me with hands
Hidden under my cheek
I think about my day
Today and yesterday
I put on my blue nighties
Go straight to bed
I pull the soft covers over
Close my eyes
I hide my head under the covers
A little elf stares at me
Runs towards me but doesn't move
From place - himself
A staring elf
I open my eyes
Take the crusts out
Stretch myself and check (If I haven't)
Returned again and everything is okay
Still there is something missing
Like all the walls
