lyrics

Með augunum stóru hann starði mig á
og vonaði þá eflaust að ég mynd'ekki sjá
hans oddhvössu eyru og hnífbeittu klær,
hnipraði sig saman, færðist fjær og fjær.

Hrömmunum hélt hann hræddur að sér
ótti og forvitni þá ólgað' í mér.
Ég færðist nær og nær, tók skref, tók skref.
Hann hreyfði við mér.

Í augun mín starði hann rjóður að sjá,
brosti sínu breiðasta og sagði þá:

„Dúmdara lara dara dara dúm dada – damdara lara dara dara dúra da“

Með hönd í hönd um hans undraheim
um loftin lékum og við svifum alein.

Yfir draumanna hindrun byggjum við brú.
