I promised you then - English version lyrics
Forever and now you fill my mind,
still carry the heart you left behind.
Memories dusted and grey
like locked away pieces of art,
tears stream down my face
‘cause your love I cannot replace.
I promised you then,
I would promise you now,
I will love you the same
when you’re gone - I couldn’t make you stay.
Stare into the future
a shadow of my old self.
So lonely and scared,
so unprepared.
I thought our love would survive
through time and through pain,
nothing will ever mean the same.
I promised you then,
I would promise you now,
I will love you the same
when you’re gone - I couldn’t make you stay,
couldn’t make you stay
couldn’t make you stay
couldn’t make you stay.
I feel your breath on my skin
gently you hold me tight.
I open my eyes
you’re no longer by my side.
I promised you then,
I would promise you now,
I will love you the same
but you’re gone,
gone away,
couldn’t make you stay
couldn’t make you stay.
You’re gone, I couldn’t make you stay.
Hugur minn er - Icelandic version lyrics
Hann hugur minn er þegar hausta fer.
Hann hjartað mitt ber ennþá í brjósti sér.
Minningin munaður er, er máninn á himninum skín.
Fram streyma mín tár því ástin hún aldrei dvín.
Hann hugur minn er,
ástin kemur og fer.
Hve lengi ég beið,
en þú fórst þína leið.
Ég stari inn í tímann og sé þar ókomna tíð.
Ég einmana verð um ár og síð.
Ég trúði á elífa ást en vonin hún brást.
Enginn mér verður það sem þú varst.
Hún hugur minn er,
ástin kemur og fer.
Hve lengi ég beið,
en þú fórst þína leið,
ó þína leið
ó þína leið
ó þína leið.
Ég finn þú faðmar mig blítt,
hjartað slær ótt og títt.
Hve stutt er sú stund
er eigum við draumafund.
Hugur minn er
ástin kemur og fer.
Hve lengi ég beið,
en þú fórst þína leið,
ó þína leið,
ó þína leið
þú fórst þína leið.
