Original lyrics
Varúð
Þrjú lagst út
Og reitum til alls tiðna
Út allt, allt út
Og kveikjum bálkerti
Og vindur undan frá
Sem hverlir orðnar múrar
Allt, allt út um allt
Og nóg beini er kalt
Drepur allt
Varúð
Varúð
Útan liður í ísköld
Kveikjum varðeld, þá að komi kvöld
Og orðin bíðum bláköld
Við reisum aftur á sifurskjól
Og vindur undan frá
Sem hverlir orðnar múrar
Allt, allt út um allt
Þarna lá þúsund fall
Og dregur all
Varúð
Varúð
Varúð

Warning
Three laid out
And fields of everything melted
Out all, all out.
And let's light the bonfire-candles
And the winds from far away.
As ?who/might be something else? became brick walls
All, everywhere
And enough bones are cold
Kills everything
Warning
Warning
Outside, part of the icecold
Let's light a bonfire, when it's evening
And words wait bluecold
Let's build again a silver shelter
And winds from underneath
As ?who? became brick walls
All, everywhere
There laid a thousand falls
And draws everything

Actually, it makes far more sense than I would have assumed. But Germanic languages make sense to other Germanic languages.

"Og orðin bíðum bláköld" shouldn't it rather mean "and we wait, having turned blue from the cold"? Like, how could the word "words" be conjugated at the 1st person plural? To me, the word order is tricky (og við bíðum, orðin bláköld) but it would make more sense, in my humble opinion, considering the previous line is "við kveikjum varðeld"... Don't you think? :)

The original is quite abstract. Some of the words are a bit mixed up as well. But that's Sigur Rós. So don't be surprised if it doesn't make much sense to you.
