All that I had In which I took delight Out of sight All that of which I dreamt All that I was longing for Now lost somewhere in time Hidden in a heathen rhyme Dreams that hold a nation Dreams that hold a nation Time comes to turn Misfortunes back around Gaining ground Time will return for dreams Time for what we're longing for By law we built this land
Would that it forever stand Dreams that hold a nation Dreams that hold a nation Allt, sem þjóðin átti og naut Allt, sem hana dreymur Allt, sem hún þráði og aldrei hlaut Alþýðustakan geymir! Dreams that hold a nation Dreams that hold a nation Allt, sem þjóðin átti og naut Allt, sem hana dreymur Allt, sem hún þráði og aldrei hlaut Alþýðustakan geymir!
