Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp / Aladdn og Dsamlegi Lampinn

Once upon a time there lived a poor tailor

Einu sinni bjó fátækur klæskeri

this poor tailor had a son called Aladdin

essi vesalings klæskeri átti son sem hét Aladdín

Aladdin was a careless, idle boy who did nothing

Aladdin var kærulaus, ageralaus drengur sem geri ekkert

although, he did like to play ball all day long

ó, honum fannst gaman a spila bolta allan daginn

this he did in the streets with other little idle boys

etta geri hann á götum úti me örum litlum ageralausum strákum

This so grieved the father that he died

etta hryggi föurinn svo a hann dó

his mother cried and prayed, but nothing helped

móir hans grét og ba, en ekkert hjálpai

despite her pleading, Aladdin did not mend his ways

rátt fyrir a bija hana, lagai Aladdín ekki breytni sína
