I fell in love with this song when I have started to discover the musical work of the talented Icelandic artist called Ásgeir Trausti. He is a young artist singer-writer who, over the last six years, has showcased his mix of electronic-folk to an enthusiastic and ever-growing audience

Lyrics « Heimförin » of Ásgeir Trausti

Heim á leið, held ég nú
Hugurinn þar er
Hugurinn þar.

Ljós um nótt, lætur þú
Loga handa mér
Loga handa.
Það er þyngsta raun þetta úfna hraun.
Er þyngsta raun þetta úfna hraun
Þetta úfna hraun
Þetta úfna hraunGlitrar dögg, gárast lón
Gnæfa fjöllin blá
Gnæfa fjöllin.

Einn ég geng, einni bón
Aldrei gleyma má
Aldrei gleyma.
Löng er för, lýist ég lít samt fram á veg
Lít samt fram á veg
Lít samt fram á veg
Lít samt fram á veg
Lít samt fram á veg

Heim á leið, held ég nú
Hugurinn þar er
Hugurinn þar.

Ljós um nótt, lætur þú
Loga handa mér
Loga handa.
Það er þyngsta raun þetta úfna hraun.
Er þyngsta raun þetta úfna hraun
Þetta úfna hraun
Þetta úfna hraun

Translation in English of « Heimförin » of Ásgeir Trausti

Homeward Journey

Homeward bound, I’m going now
The thoughts are there,
Thoughts there.
Light in the night, you search for it
Fire for me,
Fire for.
It is the heaviest trial, this uneven lava.
The heaviest trial, this uneven lava.
This uneven lava
This uneven lava
Glimmering dew, ripple the lake
Raise the mountains blue
Raise the mountains.
I walk alone, lonely prayer
Never forget it
Never forget.
The travel is long, tired I shuffle forward on the road anyway
Forward on the road anyway
Forward on the road anyway
Forward on the road anyway
Forward on the road anyway
Homeward bound, I’m going now
The thoughts are there,
Thoughts there.
Light in the night, you search for it
Fire for me,
Fire for.
It is the heaviest trial, this uneven lava.
The heaviest trial, this uneven lava.
This uneven lava
This uneven lava
