Starálfur

Blá nótt yfir himininn
Blá nótt yfir mér
Horf-inn út um gluggann
Minn með hendur
Faldar undir kinn
Hugsum daginn minn
Í dag og í gær
 
Blá náttfötin klæða mig í
Beint upp í rúm
Breiði mjúku sængina
Loka augunum
Ég fel hausinn minn undir sæng
 
Starir á mig lítill álfur
Breytir mér í, en hreyfist ekki
Úr stað – sjálfur
Starálfur
 
Opna augun
Stírurnar úr
Teygi mig og tel (Hvort ég sé ekki)
Kominn aftur og allt allt í lagi
Samt vantar eitthvað
Eins og alla veggina
 
(Starir á mig lítill álfur)
(Breytir mér í)
 
Úr stað – sjálfur
Ég er...
 
Translation

Staring Elf

Blue night across the sky
Blue night over me
Disappeared out my window
With hands
Folded under cheek
Thinking about my day
Today and yesterday
 
I dress in the blue pajamas
Straight into bed
Spread the soft covers
Close my eyes
I hide my head under covers
 
A little elf stares at me
Runs towards me, but doesn't move
From its place - itself
Staring elf
 
I open my eyes
Wipe the crusts out
Stretch and check (whether I haven't)
Come back and everything is alright
Still something is missing
Like all the walls
 
(A little elf stares at me)
(Runs towards me)
 
From its place - itself
I am...

Update: 'horfinn' is indeed the past participle of hverfa. I looked it up again. No idea why it's hyphenated? Anyway, I put it back the way I had it before, meaning disappeared. Sorry for any inconveniences.

It's actually horfa inn, he's looking out from his own window :) hence the hyphen. It also makes much more sense that way
