All by myself With this great, big world before me But it's all for someone else
I've tried and tried again
To let you know just where my heart is To tell the truth and not pretend
All I needed was to get away
Just to realize that I was meant to stay
Where the mountains sing through the screams of seagulls
Where the whales can live 'cause they're gentle people In my hometown, my hometown Thought I made it clear, do I have to say it? It was always there, we just didn't see it All I need is you and me and my home
Vera með þér, með þér
Í Húsavík við Skjálfanda Í heimabær minn
You want the world
All the neon lights and billboards To be seen and to be heard
And I followed you
But now I know what makes me happy And I can tell you feel it too
Where the mountains sing through the screams of seagulls
Where the whales can live 'cause they're gentle people In my hometown, my hometown Where the northern lights burst out in colors And the magic nights surpass all others Það eina sem ég þrái er, að vera með þér, með þér Í Húsavík við Skjálfanda My home, my hometown Húsavík All by myself With this great, big world before me But it's all for someone else
