This song is about a lost seafarer or fisherman. Its a morbid song detailing the feeling of a close knit fishing culture and the dangers and pain that the life of a seafarer can have.
The song was released in America in August 2005 as the first single from Takk… before the record’s release.
Þú, ert refur
Þú, þú hefur - á lofti

Á loft
Á lofti, já
Þú, líður
Ó, ó friður
Ó nei
Ó nei, já
Ó nei
Ó nei já
