"Pongáio" was the name my Aunt Mona gave to a long, green, cool room where we gathered at her home —
replete with comfy chairs, a rocker, sewing machine, sewing goods, beautiful beads, shelves, books, bibelots, photographs, odds'n'ends, mementos of a life, treasures —
a gathering of all the useful & 'useless' things that so make life a pleasure.

Eivør Pálsdóttir



Eivør Pálsdóttir, from the Faroe Islands

Loose translation of the lyrics (added 17.05.2017)

 "Spellbound

  Spellbound I am, I am
  The wizard has enchanted me, enchanted me
  Spellbound deep in my soul, in my soul
  In my heart burns a sizzling bonfire, a sizzling bonfire

  Spellbound I am, I am
  The wizard has enchanted me, enchanted me
  Spellbound in my heart's root, my heart's root
  My eyes gaze spellbound to where the wizard stood"

Perhaps joik, of the Saami people?

Here in a newer official version with lyrics... and more serene, if that be the word.
