Lyrics:

[Icelandic: Verse 1]
Dag eftir dag
Einsamall á hól
Náunginn undarlegi
þar sem hannin gól

[Chorus 1]
Enginn vill um hann vita
Og þeir benda hvar kjánnin fer
Han þraukar samt áfram sjálfur

[Verse 2]
Veizt um álf ut á hól
Hann sér dýrðlega sól
Og hans augu sjá meir
þau sjá heim, falinn þeim

Bidd'ann um hjálp
þá kemur han fljótt
Hann sem á þúsund raddir
Hvislar sannleikan hljótt

[Verse 3]
Enginn vill hlusta á hann
Eða hljóðin í leyndum söng
Hann virðist samt ekki vita

[Chorus 2]
Veizt um álf ut á hól[?]

[Chorus 1]
Enginn vil líta til hans
Í kofanum suður með sjó
Han þraukar samt áfram sjálfur

[Chorus 2]

[Chorus 1]
Enginn vill hlusta á hann
Og þeir benda hvar kjáninn fer
Han þraukar samt áfram sjálfur

[Chorus 2]


[English (The Fool on the Hill): Verse 1]
Day after day
Alone on a hill
The strange guy
Where the rooster crowed

[Chorus 1]
No one wants to know about him
And they point where he goes
He still holds out alone

[Verse 2]
Do you know about a fool on a hill
He can see a precious sun
And his eyes see more
They see a world, a hidden world

Ask him for help
He comes quickly
He that has thousand voices
Whisper the truth quickly

[Verse 3]
No one wants to listen to him
Or the sound in a secret song
Which he doesn't know at all

[Chorus 2]
Do you know about a fool on a hill[?]

[Chorus 1]
No one wants to see him
In the hut in the south with a lake
He still holds out alone

[Chorus 2]

[Chorus 1]
No one wants to listen to him
And they point where he goes
He still holds out alone

[Chorus 2]
