Ekki vanmeta

Don’t underestimate…




All four of the Ákadóttir sisters had a part in the creation of this surrealistic video from 2010.

Hann setti á sig húfuna
og hélt heim á leið
það er enginn stígur
þar sem hann gengur

öll orkan sem umlykur hann
er vopn í myrkrinu
fuglinn leiðir hann
aftur til baka

hann á heima nær en þú heldur
ekki vanmeta fjarlægðina

takturinn tekur hann
og leiðir hann heim
hann setur á sig húfuna
og heldur heim á leið.

hann á heima nær en þú heldur
ekki vanmeta fjarlægðina

he put the cap on
and walked home
there is no lane
where he goes

all the energy that surrounds him
is a weapon in the dark
the bird leads him
back again

he lives closer than you think
don’t underestimate the distance

rhythm takes him
and leads him home
he puts the cap on
and walks home

he lives closer than you think
don’t underestimate the distance
