Björk - Luktar-Gvendur (english Translation): Gvendur The Lamplighter Songtext

He shed his light wherever he went
Around the town each night
Lamplighter-Gvendur of time long past
Known by his gray head
Light shining off his hair
Lamplighter-Gvendur of time long past

He could be heard walking quietly
Each street at night
His wounded heart would yet smile
If he spied a young couple
He would not light his lamp
Leaving them in the shade of darkness

And he reminisced about his youth
Looking back on his sweet love
Hugging tight his sweet young girl
He shed his light wherever he went
Around the town each night
Lamplighter-Gvendur of time long past

He could be heard walking quietly
Each street at night
His wounded heart would yet smile
If he spied a young couple
He would not light his lamp
Leaving them in the shade of darkness

And he reminisced about his youth
Looking back on his sweet love
Hugging tight his sweet young girl
He shed his light wherever he went
Around the town each night
Lamplighter-Gvendur of time long past
Lamplighter-Gvendur of time long past
