"You've been flirting again."
All that she said was true.
All that she said was true.
Give her some time,
Give her some space,
All that she said was true.
All that she meant was good.
All that she meant was good.
Give her some time,
Give her some space,
All that she meant was good.
How you reacted was right.
How you reacted was right.
Give her some time,
Give her some space,
How you reacted was right.
"Aftur efur þú verið að daðra"
Allt sem hún sagði var satt.
Allt sem hún sagði var satt.
Gefðu henni tíma,
Gefðu henni rúm,
Allt sem hún sagði var satt.
Allt sem hún vildi var gott.
Allt sem hún vildi var gott.
Gefðu henni tíma,
Gefðu henni rúm,
Allt sem hún vildi var gott.
Hvernig þú brást við var rétt.
Hvernig þú brást við var rétt.
Gefðu henni tíma,
Gefðu henni rúm,
Hvernig þú brást við var rétt.
The nice thing about translating Bjork is that she rarely regards rhyme or
meter at all. Her music is very free form, rather like liquid. And it's a
good thing, since I'm not nearly the poet that Nick is.
