Brosandi Hendumst í hringi Höldumst í hendur Allur heimurinn óskýr nema þú stendur Rennblautur Allur rennvotur Engin gúmmístígvél Hlaupandi í okkur ? Vill springa út úr skel Vindur í og útilykt ? af hárinu þínu Ég lamdi eins fast og ég get með nefinu mínu Hoppa í poll Í engum stígvélum Allur rennvotur(rennblautur) Í engum stígvélum Og ég fæ blóðnasir En ég stend alltaf upp (Hopelandish) Og ég fæ blóðnasir En ég stend alltaf upp (Hopelandish)
