Oddur Jónsson
Karl bjó og átti sér meri mórauða,
A man lived there and had a red mare,
möttul stuttan, hatt og litla húfu græna,
a short cloak, a hat and a green little cap,
brækur bláröndóttar og bröndótta skó,
blue striped trousers and two coloured shoes,
stakk skakkstrendrenndan,
crookedly zipped raincoat,
stutta kápu og hann bjó.
a short jacket and he lived there.
