It was quite a delay
when my mother had me
for she was such a slender sort


The doctor was fetched
and finally her daughter was born

and none sweeter than me was ever seen

My father spent usually

his time at sea half-drunk
but he could not deny me


At first he was rather shocked
but then he said, relieved
that none sweeter than me can be seen


Sweeter than me
Sweeter than me

no none sweeter than me can be seen

Before I would know it

every boy would stare at me
the way girls do at forget-me-nots


They would shiver
and say to themselves:
she is hard to get

but very secure - I would think
and none sweeter than me can be seen


I learned while in childshoes
to speak proper English
and my songvoice was "sweet and gay"


But westwards in the country
I stumbled into marriage

it was sad for a nice girl like me

He had put into habit

to love all Americana
so I kissed him and said "okay"


Then I discovered deceit
when he spoke in his sleep
and I found out, he was very Icelandic after all


Just Icelandic
Just Icelandic

who wanted an Icelandic me

But now things are different

I go dancing merrily at night
and they call me Forget-me-not


And the boys all shiver
they say to themselves:
no, you sending me currents of love - what luck!

'cause none sweeter than me can be seen
