Vökuró Lyrics
[Söngtextar fyrir "Vökuró"]
[Vísa 1]
Bærinn minn
Bærinn minn og þinn
Sefur sæll í kyrrð
Fellur mjöll
Hljótt í húmi á jörð
Grasið mitt
Grasið mitt og þitt
Geymir mold til vors
[Vísa 2]
Hjúfrar lind
Leynt við brekkurót
Vakir eins og við
Lífi trútt
Kyrrlátt kalda vermsl
Augum djúps
Utí himinfyrrð
Starir stillt um nótt
[Vísa 3]
Langt í burt
Vakir veröld stór
Grimmum töfrum tryllt
Eirðarlaus
Ottast nótt og dag
Augu þín
Ottalaus og hrein
Brosa við mér björt
[Vísa 4]
Vonin mín
Blessað brosið þitt
Vekur ljóð úr værð
Hvílist jörð
Hljóð í örmum snæs
Liljuhvít
Lokar augum blám
Litla stúlkan mín

What did Björk say about "Vökuró"?
Vökuro was composed by Jórunn Viðar, and the lyrics are a poem by Jakobína Sigurðardóttir. The song was originally planned for Vespertine with a music box arrangement, but due to the amount of time it takes to create the copper discs, the song didn’t make it on Vespertine.
Several years go by, and...
Vökuró means Calm of being awake
Partly right. Vökuro translates to Vigil, which means “a period of keeping awake during the time usually spent asleep, especially to keep watch or pray”.
