Written as a love letter to Iceland, “Forget-Me-Not” on Laufey’s third album, A Matter of Time finds the singer reflecting on her relationship with her homeland, and the bittersweet emotions of leaving it to pursue her dreams over gentle piano and warm strings.

[Verse 1]
Hold up your chin, deep breath in, it's alright
Here I begin missing him, it's my plight
Nothing worth having has come to me easily
I've sacrificed you, all of you, completely
[Chorus]
Love you forever, don't let go of me
I left my own homeland to chase reverie

Gleymdu mér aldrei, elskan mín
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

I'll die if I wither in your memory

Gleymdu mér aldrei elskan mín
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

The Icelandic lyrics are just, “Don’t forget me, even though I’m leaving. I love you. I’ll love you forever.” It...
