Eurovision 1997 Iceland:
Paul Oscar - "Minn Hinsti Dans"
Minn hinsti dans
London, París, Róm – urðu orðin tóm
Gekk þann gyllta breiða, blindaður af ást
Falskir kunningjar, snerust um mig einan
Fékk mér kavíar, núna er allt um seinan
Því ég stíg minn hinsta dans
Og ég kveð mitt líf með glans
En ég iðrast aldrei neins, iðrast aldrei
Kristals kampavín, perlur postulín
Demantar í matinn, ást í eftirrétt
Ef ég elsk' í dag, blöðin birta á morgun
Fæ mér freyðibað, drekki mínum sorgum
Og ég stíg minn hinsta dans
Og þannig kveð mitt líf með glans
En ég iðrast ég aldrei neins, iðrast aldrei
Allt sem ég fæ í dag, farið burt á morgun
Svo ég stíg minn hinsta dans
Og þannig kveð mitt líf með glans
En ég iðrast ég aldrei neins, iðraѕt аldrei
My final dance
London, Paris, Rome, became empty words
I walked the wide and golden road, blinded by love
False acquaintances, revolved around me alone
I had some caviar, it's all too late now
For I take my final dance
And bid my life farewell in style
Yet I never regret a thing, never regret
Crystal champagne, pearls, porcelain
Diamonds for dinner, love for dessert
If I love today, it will be in the papers tomorrow
I take a bubblebath, drown my sorrows
And I take my final dance
And that's how I bid my life farewell in style
Yet I never regret a thing, never reget
All that I get today, has gone away tomorrow
So I take my final dance
And that's how I bid my life farewell in ѕtyle
Yet I never regret а thing, never regret
