    Just for context: it's about man, riding across the Icelandic highlands in the middle of the country. He's paranoid from all the shades and animals, so he just want to reach the Kiðagil (place near the Mývatn lake, or somewhere here). In the middle ages it was normal, that the local groundsmans met up once a year in Alþing. So they had to ride sometimes across the whole island to arrive at Alþing.

    rennur sól á bak við Arnarfell,
    hér á reiki er margur óhreinn andinn,
    úr því fer að skyggja á jökulsvell;

    drjúgur verður síðasti áfanginn.
    Drottinn leiði drösulinn minn,
    drjúgur verður síðasti áfanginn.

    Þey þey! þey þey! þaut í holti tófa,
    þurran vill hún blóði væta góm,
    eða líka einhver var að hóa
    undarlega digrum karlaróm;
    útilegumenn í Ódáðahraun
    eru kannske að smala fé á laun.
    útilegumenn í Ódáðahraun
    eru kannske að smala fé á laun.

    Ríðum, ríðum, rekum yfir sandinn,
    rökkrið er að síða á Herðubreið,
    álfadrottning er að beisla gandinn,
    ekki er gott að verða á hennar leið;
    vænsta klárinn vildi ég gefa til
    að vera kominn ofan í Kiðagil

    Small correction:
    "eru kannski að smala fé á laun" means "are maybe gathering/herding sheep in secret", meaning they have stolen the sheep from somebody, you know, since they are outlaws, they are not doing for 'wages'.

    Laun can mean wages but in this context it means in secret. Great video though and keep up the good work.

  • @landkonnudur

    Song by Sigvaldi Kaldalóns (1881-1946) and poem by Grímur Thomsen (1820-1896). Song is about 100 years old, the poem was published in 1861. Not a folk song in the sense most people would define folk songs, there isn't even really any reference to folklore.
    And note: "smala fé á laun" = "herding sheep secretly", not "herding sheep for wages". A more nuanced translation would be that they are herding sheep so they can steal them for themselves and they are trying not to be found out.
