Sofðu unga ástin mín,
- úti regnið grætur.
Mamma geymir gullin þín,
gamla leggi og völuskrín.
Við skulum ekki vaka um dimmar nætur.

Það er margt, sem myrkrið veit,
- minn er hugur þungur.
Oft ég svartan sandinn leit
svíða grænan engireit.
Í jöklinum búa dauða djupar sprungur.

Sofðu lengi, sofðu rótt,
- seint mun best að vakna.
Mæðan kenna mun þér fljótt,
meðan hallar degi skjótt.
Að mennirnir elska, missa, gráta og sakna.

Sleep my young love.... Outside the rain cries
Mommy keeps your gold... old leg bones and chest of stones*“
We shall not be awake on dark nights...
The darkness knows so plenty...
-My mind is heavy
Often black sands I gazed at
Hurting green fields
In the glacier lives dead deep cracks...

Sleep well, sleep tight
-Better to wake up later
Mother will teach you sooner
'til the sun reaches the horizon
That men love, lose, cry and long for.

She was married to a man, a wanted thief, an outlaw.
He promised her that they would have a happy ending with their toddler, she believed him.
So she followed him wherever they went.

Poor they were so he performed a petty crime to give her a meal.
Thought he was saved by the corner, too bad he didn‘t check twice before heading home.
Their home was in the wilderness far from any nearby towns.
There they were safe in a hill, near a glacier.
He brought his starving wife her meal, who was putting their child to sleep.
Behind the door were shouts of confront, they knew he was there.
Afraid, the mother held tight unto the crying baby.
Father took out his iron sword, refusing going down without a battle.
He shouted at his lover to escape.
They were both ready for this day, she crawled with her toddler outside through the hidden backdoor.
She stood their bare-feet on cold black sand, although the roar of the waterfall was great, the crying of the child could still be heard.
She hushed the child, hoping it didn‘t catch any attention... but it kept crying
So she sang a lullaby.
It slept in her arms.
She knew the tragic future for the baby if they would be caught by them.
The baby slept all peacefully without knowing anything what was going on...
Too save her child from that future, she had to ended it here.
She walked towards the edge of the waterfall.
Hesitating, looking at the child's face.
Her husband shouts of perish ended when the sound of an axe swung down to his flesh.

Tears running down her cold cheeks.
She threw her child in the waterfall.
Collapsed down to her knees, heart aching.
The men weren't long finding her.
She got the torturious treatment she deserved for being a criminal‘s wife.
