"Alta Mira" lyrics - BJORK

[Icelandic:]

Eitt sinn tok eg tali gamlan totralegan mann
Eg var a vappi ni?ri vi? hofn - a bryggjunni sto? hann

Hann sag?i mer fra landi einu, langt af lei? ?a? er
On nu er eins og eitthva? hafi brosti? inni mer

Alta Mira - ?vintyralani? er
Alta Mira - ?anga? hugurinn mig ber
Alta Mira - ?vintyralani? er
Alta Mira - ?anga? hugurinn mig ber

Sa gamli sag?i mer ?ar solin s?gr?n v?ri a lit
I sjonum spekingslegar syntu kyrnar ut a hli?

Hann seli sa i songleik i silfurtitum skom
Um torgin toltu tif?lur i kjolfotum me? blom

Alta Mira - ?vintyralani? er
Alta Mira - ?anga? hugurinn mig ber
Alta Mira - ?vintyralani? er
Alta Mira - ?anga? hugurinn mig ber

H? - Alta Mira - lalalalala-lala...

[English:]

One day I talked to old man in ragged clothes
I was walking near the harbour - he stood on the docks

He told me about the special country, far away it is
And now it's like something has burst inside me

Alta Mira - is the adventure land
Alta Mira - my mind carries me there
Alta Mira - is the adventure land
Alta Mira - my mind carries me there

The old man told me that the sun was seagreen over there
In the sea there were wise cows swimming on the side

A seal was in a musical in silvercoloured shoes
In the squares roamed centipedes in flowery tuxedos

Alta Mira - is the adventure land
Alta Mira - my mind carries me there
Alta Mira - is the adventure land
Alta Mira - my mind carries me there

Hey - Alta Mira - lalalalala-lala...
