   • Á Sprengisandi (“On Sprengisandur”) by Grímur Thomsen

     Þey þey! þey þey! þaut í holti tófa,

     eða líka einhver var að hóa

     undarlega digrum karlaróm;

     útilegumenn í Ódáðahraun

     eru kannske að smala fé á laun.

     Hush, hush, hush, hush,

     a vixen dashed in the hillock,

     wanting to quench his thirst with blood.

     Or - is it someone calling,

     strangely, with a harsh male voice?

     Outlawed men, in the vast waste land

     are secretly guarding their stolen sheep.
