Original lyrics
Verð Mín (At the Heart of a Selkie)
Fríða náttin er ein eimur
Stjørnugrús, nú vaknar heimur
Nakin standi eg
Eina her.
Maður vakur men so styggur
Nærkast varisliga, hyggur
Taradimt er hár
Tinnuhúð.
Verð mín
Verð mín
Verð mín
Verð mín.
Telji tína trá og dreymar
Móti kroppi mínum streymar
Eygnabragdið læst
Heldur fast.
Undan fert tú eftir hæli
Bangin, stundar eftir sælu
Tøld eg fylgi tær
Verð hjá mær.
Verð mín
Verð mín
Verð mín
Verð mín.
Skrínið læsti, lykil fjaldi
Signaði ímóti galdri
Maður er mítt hav
Nátt er av.
Tokkabundin hann meg fevnir
Nevnir meg ein eydnulut
Farin eru øll
Einsamøll.

Be Mine/My World
The lovely night is an ember
A star cluster, now the world awakens
I stand naked
Here alone.
A beautiful man but so timid
Cautiously approaches, watching
His hair is dark as seaweed
Crystal skin
Be mine,
My world
Be mine,
My world
I count your longings and dreams
Pouring against my body
Gaze locked
Holding on.
Anxious you back away
Fearful, yearning for bliss
Enchanted I follow you
Stay with me.
Be mine,
My world
Be mine,
My world
I locked the box and hid the key
Blessed it against sorcery
The man is my ocean,
The night is gone.
Spellbound he embraces me
Calls me a good luck charm
Everyone is gone,
All alone.

This version from the album At the Heart of a Selkie has a slightly different second verse than the version that's on Slør, and does not include an extended repetition of the phrase "Verð mín" at the ending or the lines "Mín ham mítt hylki, Eg sakni tað ikki, Ein ham eitt hylki, Eg gloymi tað ikki".
