Eilíf sjálfsfróun - Klár strákur - transcript/translation

The band "Eilíf Sjálfsfróun" (Endless Masturbation) has released a parody of "Klámstrákur" known as "Klár strákur" (Smart Boy). Here's a transcript and translation with notes on how it works with the original lyrics!

Icelandic transcript

STUDENT:

(Klár strákur)

Ég læri og læri meira

Ég les og les meira

Ég nötra og skelf allur meira og meira og meira

Ég þreytist og þreytist meira

Ég glósa og glósa meira

Skil ekki hvað þessir kennarar eru að segja

Ég held ég sé að deyja

Veikt sjálfstraust

Lærði ekkert í haust

Lesblindur

Af lærdómi er orðinn

þreyttur og grályndur

Er alltaf drukknandi í móral

þótt að ég læri allar nætur

Gref í hárinu fingur

Ég er kvíðasjúklingur

Ælandi, skælandi, vælandi

Heyrið mig kalla:

ég mun skítfalla

Ég er búinn að gleyma öllu sem að ég lærði

TEACHER:

Þú ert klár strákur!

STUDENT:

Er ég klár strákur?

TEACHER:

Þú ert klár strákur!

STUDENT:

Ég er klár strákur

TEACHER:

Fyrirmyndarnemandi!

STUDENT:

Stundum er að lesa

Stundum er að glósa

Binda niður fróðleikinn, illa leikinn

Ég er klár strákur

Metnaðarfullur námsmaður

Stundum fæ ég góða einkunn,

stundum fæ ég vonda

Stundum veit ég svarið,

stundum er það farið

Stundum ligg ég einsamall,

algjörlega einmana,

af áhyggjum ligg andvaka,

stressaður drengur

TEACHER:

Þú ert klár strákur!

STUDENT:

(Klár strákur)

Klár strákur!

Landsbyggðardrengur!

Þú ert klár strákur!

Ég hef trú á þér!

STUDENT:

Sterkt sjálfstraust

Lærði helling í haust

Lesblindur

Gult blað, hljóðbók, vongóður og glaðlyndur

Veit ég geri mitt besta

því að ég læri allar nætur

Gref í hárinu fingur,

ennþá kvíðasjúklingur

Þrælandi, pælandi, hlæjandi

Heyrið mig kalla:

ég mun ei falla!

Næ að kalla fram langflest það sem að ég lærði

Ótrúleg færni

TEACHER:

Þú ert klár strákur!

English translation

STUDENT:

(Klár strákur)

I study and study more

I read and read more

I tremble and shiver all over more and more and more

I tire and tire more

I write more and more notes

Don't understand what these teachers are saying

I think I am dying

Weak self-esteem

Learned nothing this fall

Dyslexic

The learning has made me

exhausted and dishonest

I'm always drowning in guilt

even though I study all night

Bury fingers in my hair

I'm an anxious wreck

Vomiting, crying, whining

Hear me yell:

I'll fucking fail

I've forgotten everything that I learned

TEACHER:

You're a smart boy!

STUDENT:

Am I a smart boy?

TEACHER:

You're a smart boy!

STUDENT:

I'm a smart boy

TEACHER:

A model student!

STUDENT:

Sometimes it's reading

Sometimes it's notes

Tying down the knowledge, mistreated

I'm a smart boy

An ambitious student

Sometimes I get good grades,

sometimes I get bad ones

Sometimes I knew the answer,

sometimes it's gone

Sometimes I lie alone,

utterly lonely,

insomniac with worry,

a stressed boy

TEACHER:

You're a smart boy!

STUDENT:

(Smart boy)

TEACHER:

You're a smart boy!

A diligent student!

STUDENT:

(Smart boy)

TEACHER:

Smart boy!

A rural kid!

You're a smart boy!

I believe in you!

STUDENT:

A strong self-esteem

Learned a bunch this fall

Dyslexic

Yellow paper, an audiobook, hopeful and joyful

Know I'll do my best

because I study all night

Bury fingers in my hair,

still an anxious wreck

Slaving, thinking, laughing

Hear me yell:

I will not fail!

Manage to recall most of what I learned

Incredible skill

TEACHER:

You're a smart boy!

STUDENT:

I'm a smart boy

TEACHER:

You're a smart boy!

STUDENT:

I'm a smart boy

TEACHER:

A model student!

Smart boy!

STUDENT:

I'm a smart boy

TEACHER:

You're a smart boy!

A diligent student!

STUDENT:

Smart boy

Notes

A lot of fun parallelism going on with the original lyrics here; they tend to go for words using the same sounds as in the original when possible, and also try to keep the rhyming structure. Obviously "Klár strákur" is only one letter away from "Klámstrákur", and it continues from there.

The teacher's bits are especially fun. "Fyrirmyndarnemandi" (a model student, much like the model country in "Spillingardans") replaces "Fyrirlitlegur", which shares "Fyrir" and the following vowel sounds i/y and then e. Later he says "Harðduglegur námsmaður" (A diligent student) instead of "Ógeðslegur karlmaður", which replaces a four-syllable word ending in -legur with another and a three-syllable word ending in -maður with another. The funniest is "Landsbyggðardrengur" (which specifically means a boy from outside the capital region; "rural" isn't quite right since he could be from a town outside the capital region, but Iceland's towns outside the capital region are generally quite small) which is clearly just because it happens to rhyme with "Andstyggðardrengur" but the fact it does is so good it makes it work. And finally, "Ég hef trú á þér" replaces "Mér býður við þér", both ending in "þér".

I like the message of this song, as it were, where the student ultimately ends up with a stronger self-esteem, in stark contrast to "Klámstrákur" where Klemens ends up just as lost as before.

CYBER - Mávar (Seagulls) - transcript/translation

Another fascinating CYBER song about wholesome lesbian family life involving the casual murder of seagulls. Not entirely sure what all of this one is on about but at least the transcribing went fine! Disturbing content including, obviously, the careless killing of animals.

Icelandic transcript

Förum út

að myrða máva

Fáum okkur kaffi fyrst

og svo út að myrða máva

Má ég fyrst stunda sjálfsfróun?

Æ, þú ert svo lengi að fá það

Götum eyrun með nöglunum

og svo út að myrða máva

Ég set vodka í sárið

Það blæðir úr puttanum

Þú greiðir á mér hárið

Smellur í steinum á glugganum

Það er maður í skugganum

Blaut þurrka á augunum

Dauður fugl í tætlum

við ætluðum

út að gefa öndunum

brauð með börn í vögnum

en í staðinn fórum við út að myrða máva

Ég gleymdi óvart hverjir ráða

Kaffikvörn(?) í botninum á bollanum,

er með kláða undir höndunum

Náðargáfa, byssukona, þú að fá það

Vonarstræti, morgunkorn og Tjörnin

Förum út að myrða máva

Klárum allt sem þarf að klára

Áður en við krullum hárið,

ræðum málin, verðum aftur eins og áðan

Settirðu hnetusmjör á báðar?

Æ, ég bað um sultu

Fokk it, förum

út að myrða máva

Fáum okkur kaffi fyrst

og svo út að myrða máva

Taktu kjúklingana úr frystinum

Ég ætla að elda þá báða

Kaupum rauðvín í sósuna

og svo út að myrða máva

Reyndu á það, reyndu á það

Reyndu á það, reyndu það

Reyndu að vera lengur,

ef þú getur vil ég gata okkur báðar

Títuprjónn í eyra

Af reynslu minni þarf að deyfa

áður en prjónninn fer í gegn

Einhver er að ónáða

því það er maður í skugganum

blaut þurrka á puttanum

Vodka í eyrunum

Í hreiðrinu er dauður fugl

því áðan fór ég út að myrða máva

Mig dreymdi að þú ættir eyna

þar sem Caprio var lögráða

Þú sauðst hákarl í súpuna

og fórst út að myrða máva

Þú settir blátt blóð í sósuna

og dróst stysta stráið

Þú settir vodka í sárið

og blóðið harðnaði við ströndina

Þú misstir landið svo þú gætir haldið áfram að myrða máva

Transcription notes

The one word I can't quite make out here is the coffee what in the bottom of the cup. In context it's almost definitely referring to coffee grounds but the best I can make out hearing there is "kaffikvörn", or a coffee grinder. Not sure if they're using some word I'm unfamiliar with or what.

English translation

Let's go out

to murder seagulls

Let's have coffee first

and then go out to murder seagulls

Can I masturbate first?

Ehh, you take so long to come

Let's pierce our ears with our fingernails

and then go out to murder seagulls

I put vodka in the wound

The finger's bleeding

You brush my hair

Stones click against the window

There's a man in the shadows

A wet rag over his eyes

A dead bird, torn apart

We were going

out to feed the ducks

bread with kids in strollers

but instead we went out to murder seagulls

I accidentally forgot who's in charge

Coffee grounds(?) in the bottom of the cop,

got an itch in my armpits

A gift, a gunwoman, you orgasming

Vonarstræti, breakfast cereal and Tjörnin

Let's go out to murder seagulls

Let's finish everything we have to finish

Before we curl our hair,

let's talk it over, let's be like earlier

Did you put peanut butter on both?

Aw, I asked for jam

Fuck it, let's go

out and murder seagulls

Let's have coffee first

and then go out and murder seagulls

Take the chickens out of the freezer

I'm going to cook them both

Let's buy red wine for the sauce

and then go out and murder seagulls

Give it a try, give it a try

Give it a try, try it

Try to stick aorund,

if you can I want to give us both piercings

A pin in your ear

In my experience you have to numb it

before the pin goes through

Someone's interrupting

because there's a man in the shadows

a wet rag on the finger

Vodka in the ears

In the nest there's a dead bird

because earlier I went out to murder seagulls

I dreamt that you owned the island

where Caprio was ruler(?)

You boiled shark for the soup

and then went out to murder seagulls

You put blue blood in the sauce

and drew the short straw

You put vodka in the wound

and the blood hardened on the beach

You lost the land so you could keep murdering seagulls

Translation notes

This song makes me think of a warped version of Tom Lehrer's "Poisoning Pigeons in the Park" and I love it for it.

They really are specifically talking about murdering seagulls, not just killing them: the word myrða, murder, is only usually used for the murder of humans.

The lyrics mention Vonarstræti and Tjörnin; Tjörnin is "The Pond", a large pond in downtown Reykjavík, while Vonarstræti is a street close to it. It's common, or at least used to be, to take small children to Tjörnin to feed the population of ducks and swans that live there, although in recent years people have been implored to stop this because bread isn't actually healthy for them and the practice also attracted a lot of seagulls.

My best guess as to the "island where Caprio was ruler" is that it's referring to Leonardo DiCaprio, who apparently bought a private island in 2009. However, I'm actually fudging a little with that translation, because the term used in the original is lögráða, or being a legal adult. It doesn't really make any sense to speak of the island where Caprio was a legal adult, and the word lögráða (literally "legal rule") could easily be construed as referring to being a ruler, so I'm just going to guess that's what they're going for, even though to my knowledge that's not actually a 'correct' use of the term. If you actually know exactly what they're talking about and it all makes sense, please tell me.
