Sofðu unga ástin mín (Sleep my little love) in Sönghellir by Snæfellsjökull glacier

Your Friend in Reykjavik singing the classic Icelandic lullaby: Sofðu unga ástin mín (Sleep, my little love) in Sönghellir by Snæfellsjökull glacier. The perfect location for this song is in a cave called Sönghellir (The cave of singing) by the Snæfellsnesjökull glacier. This song is written by Jóhann Sigurjónsson for a play he wrote about the famous outlaw Fjalla-Eyvindur in 1911. Today it's a very popular lullaby in Iceland, which is ironic because of the dark nature of the story behind the song. Halla, the woman of outlaw Fjalla Eyvindur's life, is singing their baby to sleep, after which she throws the child into a waterfall. The reason was that the sheriff and their men were close to catching the outlaws, and Halla did not want her child to be taken from her. Lovely tragic lullaby, right. The walls of the cave are covered in names, runes, and even signs of sorcery, and some say that Bárður Snæfellsás (The Guardian of Snæfellsnes) sometimes used it for shelter. The lyrics English = Sleep my little love, Outside, the rain is weeping. Mother watches over your gold, old leg bones and a little treasure chest. We shall not stay awake on dark nights. There is much that darkness knows, My mind is heavy. Often I've seen the black sand. Scorching green meadows. In the glacier rumbles, deadly-deep cracks. Sleep well, sleep tight, it's best to wake up late. Hardship will teach you soon, While the day turns into night, That people love, lose, cry, and mourn. Icelandic = Sofðu unga ástin mín. Úti regnið grætur. Mamma geymir gullin þín, gamla leggi og völuskrín. Við skulum ekki vaka um dimmar nætur. Það er margt sem myrkrið veit, minn er hugur þungur. Oft ég svarta sandinn leit svíða grænan engireit. Í jöklinum hljóða dauðadjúpar sprungur. Sofðu lengi, sofðu rótt, seint mun best að vakna. Mæðan kenna mun þér fljótt, meðan hallar degi skjótt, að mennirnir elska, missa, gráta og sakna. To find the cave follow road no. 574 leading to Arnarstapi and then follow no. 570 leading up the Snaefellsjokull glacier. It's a narrow, winding gravel road. There are a couple of signs saying Sönghellir on the way, but after a few kilometers of slow driving, the road will take you to a small parking spot. From there, it's a short walk up to the cave. The entrance is marked with a little sign making it easier to find. It's a pretty small opening into a chamber that maybe 15-20 people could fit into.
