| STÖNDUM SAMAN STELPUR | LET'S STAND UP TOGETHER, GIRLS |
| Þær voru vanar að þræla | They were used to being slaves |
| þegjandi unnu bæði nótt og dag | They worked hard night and day |
| sá um sína karla | They looked after their men |
| sofa fengu varla | And could hardly sleep at all |
| þeim algjörlega sama var um þeirra hag | The guys were totally indifferent |
| nú er úti um friðinn | And now peace is over, |
| karlatíminn er liðinn | The time of males is over. |
| Stelpur, stelpur | Let's go, girls, girls |
| stelpur,stelpur | Let's go, girls, girls, |
| stöndum saman stelpur. | Let's stand up together, girls. |
| Stöndum saman stelpur | Let's stand up together, girls. |
| núna segjast þeir vera | Now, the guys are said to be |
| voðalega stoltir af sjálfum sér | So awfully proud of themselves |
| gleymdu ekki góði eins og Ari fróði | But you guy, you who are good like Ari the Wise [1], |
| að þöglar konur voru Íslands hulduher | Don't forget that Iceland's women have been a quiet army. |
| nú er úti um friðinn | And now peace is over, |
| karlatíminn er liðinn | The time of males is over. |
| Stelpur, stelpur | Let's go, girls, girls |
| stelpur, stelpur | Let's go, girls, girls, |
| stöndum saman stelpur. | Let's stand up together, girls. |
| Ef þú vilt bjartari framtíð | If you want brighter future |
| komdu þá í liðið með okkur hér | Join us in this host. |
| veröldinni breytum | Let's change the world |
| þanga | From here. |
| nú er úti um friðinn | And now peace is over, |
| karlatíminn er liðinn | The time of males is over. |
| Stelpur, stelpur | Let's go, girls, girls |
| stelpur, stelpur | Let's go, girls, girls, |
| stöndum saman stelpur! | Let's stand up together, girls! |
