Episode description

Download the full haunting Icelandic lullaby which also duals as our Eerie Iceland Podcast theme song! Name: "Sofðu Unga Ástin Mín" (Sleep My Little Love). The song is sung by Co-Host: Vanessa Terrazas.

It's an Icelandic lullaby that has pretty morbid undertones. Here's the translation for those interested:

  • Sofðu unga ástin mín (Sleep my little love)
  • Úti regnið grætur (Outside the rain is crying)
  • Mamma geymir gullin þín (Mommy keeps your gold)
  • Gamla leggi og völuskrín (Your old bone legs and treasure chest)
  • Við skulum ekki vaka um dimmar nætur (Let's not stay awake on dark nights)

  • Það er margt sem myrkrið veit (There are many things the darkness knows)
  • Minn er hugur þungur (My mind is heavy)
  • Oft ég svarta sandinn leit (I've often seen the black sand)
  • Svíða grænan engireit (Scorching green meadows)
  • Í jöklinum hljóða dauðadjúpar sprungur (In the glacier deathly deep crevasses sound).

  • Sofðu lengi, sofðu rótt (Sleep long, sleep soundly)
  • Seint mun best að vakna (It's best to wake up late)
  • Mæðan kenna mun þér fljótt (The pain will teach you soon)
  • Meðan hallar degi skjótt (While the day falls quickly into night)
  • Að mennirnir elska, missa, gráta og sakna (That the people love, lose, cry and mourn)
