I tried my hand at personalising the song:
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 heim-abærinn minn
You want the world (want the world)
All the neon lights and billboards
To be seen and to be heard
And I followed you (oh-ooh)
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
Vera með þér (vera með þér)
Með þér (vera með þér)
Í Húsavík við Skjálfanda
My home, my hometown
We feel alone
With this great big past behind us
But it all was somewhere else
We've tried and tried again
To find out just where our hearts are
To find the truth and not get hurt
All we needed was to get away
Just to realize that we are meant to stay
Where the valleys sing with sounds of thunder
Where we all can live 'cause we're gentle people
In my hometown, my hometown
Does this make it clear, do I have to say it?
It was always here, you just didn't see it
All we need is you to be in your home
Suid Afrika, ons liewe land
Jy het al so seergekry
maar jy bly ons tuisland
[akho apho sivela khona]
All across the world (across the world)
All our people have new houses
To feel safe and not see hurt
If I followed you (oh-ooh)
I don’t think I would be happy
And I can tell you feel it too
Where the valleys sing with sounds of thunder
Where we all can live 'cause we're gentle people
In my hometown, my hometown
Where the sunset skies burst out with colours
and the people learn to stand together
Jy is die plek waar ons harte hoort, jy is
Suid Afrika (Suid Afrika)
ons liewe land (ons liewe land)
daar is ‘n plek waar ons harte hoort
[kukho indawo apho iintliziyo zethu zikhoyo]
My home, my hometown
