útvarpið sendir eitt tilvildarligt lag
sum sveimar ígjøgnum eitt vindeyga
úr einum húsi sum sigur
"vit hava tað gott!"
Havnin er ein lítil bygd
klaverini tey standa still
ímeðan fólk fara í býin
so seint gongur tíðin
onkunstaðni spælir mítt yndisorkestur
í einum høli har ung eru samlaði saman
men eg vil ikki droyma, eg vil bara kenna
bíði eftir bussinum
bara eg og mínar vónir
eg havi hendur í lumma
og sjeytan krónur
Havnin er ein lítil bygd
ein viti mítt í havinum
nú fari eg at vitja
ein góðan vin
skip sigla út til fremmand lond
eg síggi meg sita á eini heitari strond
tí her hendir svarta onki
hesin forbannaði bussurin kemur ikki
Havnin er ein lítil bygd
her er so trongligt, men eisini so trygt
eg vil bara gloyma at tað finst nakað annað

Tórshavn is a little town
the radio broadcasts some random song
which floats through a window
of a house that says
"We have it good!"
Tórshavn is a little village
the pianos stand still
while people go downtown
so slowly the time passes
somewhere my favourite band is playing
in a venue where the youngsters are gathered
but I don't want to dream, I just want to feel
waiting for the bus
only me and my aspirations
have my hands in my pocket
and seventeen Kroner
Tórshavn is a little village
my lighthouse in the middle of the ocean
now I am going to visit
A good friend
ships sail away to foreign lands
I see myself sitting on a hot beach
'Cause nothing b***** happens
This d*** bus doesn't come
Tórshavn is a little village
it's so confining here, but also so secure
I just want to forget that there exists something else
