Song Meaning of “Sofðu unga ástin mín” by Hafdís Huld
‘Sofðu unga ástin mín’ by Hafdís Huld is a song about loving somebody deeply and fully, even when they are far away. In the song, the narrator is offering their unconditional love to this special person and begging them to return the feeling, regardless of the distance that separates them.
The narrator speaks of the emotion of love like it is something that can only be comprehended between two people, and wishes for this bond to sustain through anything: “And time will hold us, just time and warmth/Even when no words remain.” The narrator acknowledges the power of love and its strong capacity to heal even the deepest wounds, as seen in the line “er það gaman að hugsa að því er þú vissir að ef þú segir það sem hjartað þitt þarfnast þá er gaman að hugsa að það getur það að botna branda.”
Ultimately, the narrator’s hope is that the person on the other end will recognize their love and share the same simple emotion that has been given so freely: “Sofðu unga ástin mín, segðu mér það, sem hjartað þitt þarfnast”.
