Lyrics
Gaman er fyrir hin gódu börn
Ad ganga med pabba út ad tjörn
Sjá thar lítinn bra-bra-bra
Og börnin skemmta sér, ha-ha-ha
Gefa honum braud ad bíta í
Börnin hafa svo gaman af thví
Saddur verdur bra-bra-bra
Og börnin skemmta sér, ha-ha-ha
Úti í hólma á sér ból
Ungunum sínum veitir skjól
Allir eiga their sömu sæng
Sofa undir mömmu væng
Fara ad reyna ad fleyta sér
Fús ad kenna theim mamma er
Hún er theirra víta vörn
Verndar og fædir sín litlu börn
Eitt sinn lítinn unga ég sá
Auminginn villtist mömmu frá
Sífellt í hring hann synti thar
Og sá hana ekki neins stadar
Mamma vissi vel um thad
Og á vængjunum sínum kom thar ad
Ósköp gladur vard unginn thá
Og öruggur sinni mömmu hjá
Ef ad tjörnin okkar frys
Uti er gaman ad sleda á ís
Thá er oftast úti svalt
Og aumingja bra-bra thá svo kalt
Med kalda fætur á köldum ís
Króknar stundum, deyr og frys
Börnin harma bra-bra sinn
Og búinn er söguthátturinn
Translation:
The children by the pond
It's fun for the good children
To walk with daddy to the pond
See a little quack-quack-quack
And the children enjoy themselves, ha-ha-ha!
Give it some bread to bite
The children enjoy this so much
Quack-quack-quack is full now
And the children enjoy themselves, ha-ha-ha!
In the islet she has a nest
Sheltering her ducklings
They all share the same blanket
Sleeping under mother's wing
They try and learn to swim themselves
Mother is happy to teach them
She shelters them from danger
Shelters and feeds her babies
Once I saw a little duckling
The poor thing had gotten lost from it's mother
It kept swimming in circles
And could not find her anywhere
Mother knew all about this
And her wings brought her there
The duckling was terribly glad
To be safe with his momma
If our pond freezes
It's fun to sled on the ice
It is usually cold out then
And poor quack-quack is so cold
With cold feet on cold ice
He sometimes freezes and dies
The children mourn their quack-quack
And so our story ends
