Kisa mín
Icelandic source: Anon.

Kisa mín, kisa mín, hvaðan ber þig að?
-Og ég kem nú frá London,
þeim mikla og fræga stað.
Kisa mín, kisa mín, hvað gerðirðu þar?
-Og ég var að veiða mýsnar
í höllu drottningar.

My Cat
English translation © Oddur Jónsson

My cat, my cat, where are you coming from?
-I am coming from London,
that great and renowned place.
My cat, my cat, what did you do there?
-I was hunting mice
at the Queen’s palace.
