Lyrics

Árbakkinn

Áin í hrauninu

Í bláum draumi

Hún unir ein

Með ærslum leikur

Á strengi og flúðir

Og glettin skvettir

Á gráan stein

Í hyl og lygnu

Er hægt á ferð

Með hæverskum þokka

Áin niðar

Sí-endurfædd

Og undraverð

Hún fremur þá list

Sem fegurst er

Úr fornum eldi

Er hljómbotn gerður

Ég heyri óminn

Í hjarta mér

Ég heyri óminn

Í hjarta mér
