LYRICS & TRANSLATION

Ég dái Debussy, ég dýrka Tjækovský
Og Einar Ben og Beethoven og Gunnar Thoroddsen
Ég tilbið Harold Lloyd, ég tilbið Sigmund Freud
Og John Wayne og Mark Twain og þig og Michael Caine
Syngjum öllum Sókrates, sálarinnar Herkúles
Um alla þá sem allir þrá
Og allir dýrka og dá
Ég syng um Kólumbus og Sólon Islandus
Og Mendelssohn og Paul og John
Og Jón Pál Sigmarsson
Syngjum öllum Sókrates, sálarinnar Herkúles
Um alla þá sem allir þrá
Og allir dýrka og dá
Hej… syngjum öllum Sókrates, sálarinnar Herkúles
Um þá sem ѕpá en einkum þá
Sem fallnir eru frá
Lalalala lalala… lalalala lalala…
Lalalala… lalalala…
Lalala lalala…
Dýrkа og dá
