Original lyrics
Tá eg verði gamal
Tá eg verði gamal
og sólin fer í kav
góða vilt tú hjálpa mær
at sigla yvir hav
Eg skal vitja gamlar gøtur
gamlar vinir við
minnast aftur góðar løtur
og finna sálarfrið
Tá eg verði gamal
og hárið verður grátt
smíla tíni vøkru eygu
tú teskar "góða nátt"
Eg droymi meg í eydnuríkið
tú ert drotning her
næsta morgun vakni aftur
síggi at so er
Tá eg verði gamal
og dagur verður nátt
sálarfriðurin er komin
inn um duragátt,
tíni vøkru eygu spegla tína sál
tak so báðar mínar hendur
og fylg tú mær á mál.

When I Get Old
When I get old
and my sun is setting
will you help me, love,
to cross the sea
I will visit old streets
and old friends, too,
remembering the good times
and finding peace of the soul
When I get old
and my hair turns grey
will your beautiful eyes smile
as you whisper "good night"
I'll dream that I'm in heaven,
the queen here is you,
the next morning I wake
and see that it's true
When I get old
and day becomes night,
when peace has come
through the doorway,
your beautiful eyes reflect your soul,
so take both my hands,
and follow me to the grail.

Russia is waging a disgraceful war on Ukraine. Stand With Ukraine!
