A song in the ocean of people. Poem by Jón frá Pálmholt.
Final song
We who stand outside the vortex.
What would our lives be like if we had been born as minks?
or foxes and raised in a cage for their fur?
We are blessed to have been born as humans.
(If we don't get turned into mink or foxes).
We who stand outside the vortex.
What would life in the world be like without us?
For others, we break new ground and awaken
their ideas of the slumber of the vain.
Now men are taught to smile with their asses.
We who stand outside the vortex
we want to point out to you the face. On the value of the face
of the eyes and the tongue and on the creation of the mind.
Machines are convenient, but they don't create.
(May I be a flower with a raindrop made of straw.)
We who stand aside. Let's tame
the restless forces and guide them
who have no meaning in life.
