17th June – Our National Day

The lone Valkyrie recited the poem 'My Fjord' by Egil Thorsson when she took to the stage at Thorsplan earlier today on our national day, 17th June. Björk Jakobsdóttir, the actress, director, playwright and stand-up comedian, stepped into the role of the Valkyrie this year.

My fjord

PThe earth is always fmy family;
fA jallkonu's nest is a sun. you shines,
bto open one's arms to ba moment of self-reflection,
bSo rosy, that our mother swells with pride.

Here live áelves and yWonderful children,
having fun by the stream and pond,
I want to shelter them with vprotective vwing
which vthat they were wrapped in a warm blanket.

LThe vibrant town situated in the countryside
of lif he fidgets on every square,
í pWe've given a lot of thought and discussion to our tent and campsite.,
Fairness for the general public on the platform.

The lava is fcucumber and fvaried in colour
fLet's put it this way: it ran through meadows and fat,
daily vafter that vA strange shelter,
vOne could scarcely imagine a more beautiful breast.

The harbour is nounique and aa magnificent display
ito take every place,
still is lagfært and lto pick up from that
that lThe ships are moored here in a pen.

UThe pppland serves as úGood, good.,
with noThere, the Lake of Hvaler brews like a cauldron,
Sometimes he goes there. fThe crowd is small fride,
fA people enclosed by a variety of customs.

We are bthe sheep that bA new one here in the countryside,
bIn our hearts, we have hopes of a field.
from cradle to gelectrons that gshall we have,
gDraw on experience and then leave on good terms.

PThe earth is always fmy family;
fA jallkonu's nest is a sun. I want shines,
bto open one's arms to ba moment of self-reflection,
bSo rosy, that our mother swells with pride.
