Performed by: Sjonni Brink's friends
Lyrics by: Þórunn Erna Clausen
Composed by: Sigurjón Brink
Language: Icelandic


Sagt er að ég sé algjört flón
Ég hugsa með mér hvað það var sem gerðist
En ekkert grænna grasið er
Annarsstaðar en hjá þér, það veit ég vel
En ó, ó, ó, þá finn ég ró
Nú kem ég, nú kem ég heim

Því að lífið mín bíður
komdu með í ferðalag, saman sjá munum bjartan dag
Tíminn hann líður hratt
ég vil bara komast aftur heim
Sagt er að ég sé dáldið flón
flýti mér til þín og þrái að heyra
hlátrarsköllin þín á ný, er ég aftur til þín sný
þú ert mér allt

En ó, ó, ó, þá finn ég ró
Nú kem ég, nú kem ég heim

Því að lífið mín bíður
komdu með í ferðalag, saman sjá munum bjartan dag
Tíminn hann líður hratt
ég vil bara komast aftur heim
Já enginn veit hvað koma skal
en tíminn stendur ekki í stað
og við getum enduruppgötvað
þá gömlu þrá
Lífið mín bíður
komdu með í ferðalag, saman sjá munum bjartan dag
Tíminn hann líður hratt
ég vil bara komast aftur heim

Því að lífið mín bíður
komdu með í ferðalag, saman sjá munum bjartan dag
Já, tíminn hann líður hratt
ég vil bara komast aftur heim
Já aftur heim

Re: ÍSLAND - Iceland 2011

Icelandic television broadcaster RÚV has already announced changes to Söngvakeppnin 2011.
In a letter to the Association of Icelandic songwriters; Páll Magnússon, the managing director of Icelandic television broadcaster RÚV has announced that all entries to Söngvakeppnin 2011 shall be performed entirely in Icelandic - claiming that it's an Icelandic song contest intended for the entertainment of Icelandic television viewers.

The statement has recieved mixed feelings amongst the Icelandic public, who for the most part support and prefer the Icelandic Eurovision entires to be performed in English.

To the relief of many, the letter goes on to say;

"However, while Söngvakeppnin is still the method for choosing the nation's representative for the Eurovision Song Contest, RÚV will remain true to it's obligations by providing financial support towards the translation of the entry - should that be the wish of the chosen entrant."

Whether 2011 will see Iceland performing in its native Icelandic for the first time since Paul Oscar's 1997 entry Minn hinnsti Dans remains a mistery for now.

Re: ÍSLAND - Iceland 2011

Sure..I mean why not try a song in Icelandic in 2011! :D

Still depends on the song if Icelandic works, but would be cool to hear it! :)

I agree for Regina Osk. But i want Birgitta Haukdal to compete most. Especially it would be great if Írafár re-united for Eurovision xcrossed

Re: ÍSLAND - Iceland 2011

I think it's great that the rules said it should be performed in Icelandic.

The more native languages the better... i'm personally bored to death with English in every song. So boring, so souless. EUROvision or ANGLOvision?

Re: ÍSLAND - Iceland 2011

Yes but they will sing in icelandic when they choose the song but will they translate it later in english for Eurovision? I hope not! They ruin the songs when they translate them!
Examples, Sweden 1999 (they won but the song in swedish is better), 2000, 2001, 2004, 2006...
