Myrkrið gleypir allt. The darkness|swallows|everything A escuridão engole tudo. The darkness swallows everything.

En undir snjó með rammri kaldri ró |sous||||| But|under|snow|with|strong|cold|calm Mas sob a neve com uma moldura de calma fria But under the snow with a strong cold calm

Rumskar janúar, Rumskar|January Rumskar janeiro, January stirs,

Rymur hljótt og gyrðir sig í brók Rymur|quietly|and|girds|himself|in|trousers Rum calmamente e se cinge com um brocado It quietly rumbles and wraps itself in trousers.

Ýfða yglir brá, the wolf|howls|suddenly Muitas corujas, The yowl of the owl,

Augu pírð í átt að kaldri sól. Eyes|squint|in|direction|towards|cold|sun Eyes squinting towards the cold sun.

"Þessi fjandi dugar skammt! This|damn|lasts|long "This damn thing won't last long!

Hún liggur flöt en skal á loft!" She|lies|flat|but|shall|in|air It lies flat but shall rise!"

Ó janúar, sem enginn ann. O|January|as|no one|another Oh January, like no other.

Hve dýrðlegt er þitt vanþakkláta starf? How|glorious|is|your|ungrateful|job How glorious is your ungrateful job?

Sólin rís með hægð, The sun|rises|with|slowness The sun rises slowly,

En bak við tjöldin böðlast Janúar. But|behind|the|curtains|struggles|January But behind the curtains, January struggles.

Eins og rótari As|and|rooter Like a rooter

Eða ruslakall á mánudagsmorgni. Or|garbage man|on|Monday morning Or a garbage man on a Monday morning.

Ó janúar, sem enginn ann. O|January|as|no one|another Oh January, like no other.

Hve dýrðlegt er þitt vanþakkláta starf? How|glorious|is|your|ungrateful|work How glorious is your thankless work?

Og eftir allt, sem hann gaf. And|after|everything|that|he|gave And after all that he gave.

Janúar skríður aftur undir feld. January|creeps|again|under|fur January crawls back under the fur.

Þar til skyldan kallar enn á ný, Until|the|duty|calls|again|upon|new Until duty calls once again,

Eins og snæviþakinn Batman. Like|and|snow-covered|Batman Like the snow-covered Batman.

Ó janúar, sem enginn ann. Oh|January|as|no one|other Oh January, like no other.

Hve dýrðlegt er þitt vanþakkláta starf How|glorious|is|your|ungrateful|work How glorious is your ungrateful work.

Ég sé þig janúar. I|see|you|January I see you January.

Ég man þig janúar. I|remember|you|January I remember you January.

Sólin rís með hægð í janúar. The sun|rises|with||in|January The sun rises slowly in January.

Myrkrið gleypir allt í janúar. The darkness|swallows|everything|in|January The darkness swallows everything in January.

Eins og snæviþakinn Batman. Like|and|snow-covered|Batman Like a snow-covered Batman.
