Hi pia
Uff..  I'm not so poetic, but you are pia
If I would translate the first verse, I would do it like this:
The mind enchanted by
the strait, heath and pass;
the passage of hope is chosen
westward Breiðafjörðinn.
it seems to be the same as your translation |

Everything is carried away, grime
from the grooves and mountains,
because the spring blooms with flowers
spread in all traces.
My English is not one of the best, so there may be some errors to correct. |

The day tilt "daypearls"
scattered all over the field vegetation;
the mountain flower grow around
the blessed mountain river.

Run out of mercy at this place,
then the crowd will be divided,
because the gate is open to
the wide ocean water.

piasAnzahl der Beiträge: 8113 |  Thank you for the kind words Ernst... but it seems I’ve misunderstood much. Sorry! I waited a long time before I decided to give this request a try, guess I should have left it for a native to do. Lilian, if it’s easier to reject my translation and let someone else try, please do that!
