Sá aldrei feigðiná í augum þér
Sá aldrei ei dauðann, hann speglast í mér
Hann righeldur í mig og sleppir mér ekki
Hann torir
Ég sá hann aldrei fæðast í þér
Sá hann aldrei læðast að mér
Hann læðist að mér sem lyktarlaust gas
Hann læðist…
Æ, siðan er ég hræddur
Æ, siðan er ég flán
Æ, siðan er ég kvalinn
Lotningin fékk dóm
Æ, siðan ég varð maður
Æ, siðan óx mér þor
Hef stigið inn í óttann
Hef þegið dauðans boð
Fann aldrei veikina veikin í þer
Fann ekki andans hörgul hjá þér
Vitstola er, á mólinni ek út í tómið
Sá aldrei dauðann í augum þér
Sá aldrei feigðina fæðast í mér
Hun fegrast í mér, hún hæðist að mér
Ó, svo Lævis
Mig dreymdi svo oft úr rústum ég reis
Í fjörðinn ég hélt á ný
Við fjallanna rót, og við jökulsins bót
Og vakna í hinsta sinn
Sá aldrei feigðiná í augum þér
Sá aldrei ei dauðann, hann speglast í mér
Hann righeldur í mig og sleppir mér ekki
Hann torir.
English translation
Black Mountain
Never saw death coming in your eyes
Never saw anything but death, reflected on me
It holds tight to me and don't let me go
It keeps on
I never saw it born in you
Never saw it prowling to me
It crawled to me like a scentless gas
It crawled...
Oh, since I'm terrified
Oh, since I'm rash
Oh, since I'm tormented
Awe takes charge
Oh, since I became a man
Oh, since courage grew in me
I've pierced through the fear
I've silenced death's call
Never found sickness in you
Never found a lack of spirit in you
I'm crazy, driving on the gravel out into the emptiness
Never saw death coming in your eyes
Never saw anything but death, reflected on me
It's beautiful to me, it mocks me
Oh, so crafty
I dreamed so often of rising from the rust
In the fjord I beheld anew
By the root of the mountains, and by the cure of the glacier
And woke a second time
Never saw death coming in your eyes
Never saw anything but death, reflected on me
It holds tight to me and don't let me go
It keeps on
Bláfjall is about Aðalbjörn Tryggvason's hometown of Ísafjörður.
From a Noisey interview:
"Black Mountain," he translates. "That's about growing up in a town [where] you despise this place, you hate everything that it stands for and everyone in it. You think it was the worst thing that happened to you, that everybody treated you badly and you were the only victim in this town. You leave this apocalyptic home and something on your journey occurs that becomes an awakening or spiritual journey. You decide you're gonna go back to the town that you fucking hated and you realize it's the most beautiful, peaceful thing on the planet."
