Some say I’m a bit of a fool
Sitting on a hill and counting raindrops
Keep thinking I just wanna go
To the peaceful place I know that I call home
But oh oh oh it’s time to go
I’ll see you, I’ll see you soon
‘Cause I can’t wait for tomorrow
To say the things I wanna say
Your smile will always lead my way
I can’t wait, I’m coming soon
I just wanna see your face again
Some say I’m a bit of a fool
Driving down the road I stop to listen
I hear your laughter in the trees
Your whisper in the breeze: “My love is you”
But oh oh oh it’s time to go
I’ll see you, I’ll see you soon
‘Cause I can’t wait for tomorrow
To say the things I wanna say
Your smile will always lead my way
I can’t wait, I’m coming soon
I just wanna see your face again
‘Cause no one knows his where or when
When my time on earth comes to an end
Then I’ll find you
And I know that you will be my love again
I can’t wait for tomorrow
To say the things I wanna say
Your smile will always lead my way
I can’t wait, I’m coming soon
I just wanna see your face again
‘Cause I can’t wait for tomorrow
To say the things I wanna say
Your smile will always lead my way
I can’t wait, I’m coming home to you
I just wanna see your face again
I’m coming home
Icelandic Version
Sigurjón’s Friends – Aftur heim
Sagt er að ég sé algjört flón
Ég hugsa með mér hvað það var sem gerðist
En ekkert grænna grasið er
Annarsstaðar en hjá þér, það veit ég vel
En ó ó ó, þá finn ég ró
Nú kem ég, nú kem ég heim
Því að lífið mín bíður
Komdu með í ferðalag, saman sjá munum bjartan dag
Tíminn hann líður hratt
Ég vil bara komast aftur heim
Sagt er að ég sé dáldið flón
Flýti mér til þín og þrái að heyra
Hlátrarsköllin þín á ný, er ég aftur til þín sný
Þú ert mér allt
En ó, ó, ó, þá finn ég ró
Nú kem ég, nú kem ég heim
Því að lífið mín bíður
Komdu með í ferðalag, saman sjá munum bjartan dag
Tíminn hann líður hratt
Ég vil bara komast aftur heim
Já enginn veit hvað koma skal
En tíminn stendur ekki í stað
Og við getum enduruppgötvað
Þá gömlu þrá
Lífið mín bíður
Komdu með í ferðalag, saman sjá munum bjartan dag
Tíminn hann líður hratt
Ég vil bara komast aftur heim
Því að lífið mín bíður
Komdu með í ferðalag, saman sjá munum bjartan dag
Já, tíminn hann líður hratt
Ég vil bara komast aftur heim
Já aftur heim
English Translation
Back Home
They say I’m a complete fool
I think about what it was that happened
But the grass is not greener
Anywere but with you, I know that well
But oh oh oh, then I find peace
I’m coming home, I’m coming home
Because life is waiting for me
Come join the journey, together we’ll see a bright day
Time flies
I just want to get back home
They say I’m being foolish
Running to you and longing to hear
Your laughter once again, as I come back to you
You are my everything
But oh oh oh, then I find peace
I’m coming home, I’m coming home
Because life is waiting for me
Come join the journey, together we’ll see a bright day
Time flies
I just want to get back home
Yes, no one knows what the future brings
But time does not stand still
And we can rediscover
That old passion
Life is waiting for me
Come join the journey, together we’ll see a bright day
Time flies
I just want to get back home
Because life is waiting for me
Come join the journey, together we’ll see a bright day
Yes, time flies
I just want to get back home
Yes, back home
My favourite this year, it’s a shame they didn’t do better in the contest, but it’s still a beautiful song (and has a sad extra meaning considering the song’s background).
Too lame, Iceland usually prepares for the ESC better.
