in days to come, when Siddhartha would become a god, he would be there

á komandi dögum, egar Siddhartha myndi verða guð, myndi hann vera ar

when he would join the glorious, he would be there

egar hann myndi ganga til liðs við hina dýrðlegu, á v ri hann ar

Govinda wanted to follow him as his friend

Govinda vildi fylgja honum sem vinur hans

he was his companion and his servant

hann var förunautur hans og jónn hans

he was his spear-carrier and his shadow

hann var spjótberi hans og skuggi

Siddhartha was loved by everyone

Siddhartha var elskaður af öllum

He was a source of joy for everybody

Hann var gleðigjafi fyrir alla

he was a delight for them all

hann var eim öllum til yndisauka

But he, Siddhartha, was not a source of joy for himself

En hann, Siddhartha, var ekki uppspretta gleði fyrir sjálfan sig

he found no delight in himself

hann fann enga yndi í sjálfum sér
