The song is great, I think you should release more remixes, because that way there's a better chance it will get into the clubs.

sangurin er super, eg haldi tú skuldi givið meira remix út, tí so er møguleikin betur at tað kemur í diskutekini

People meet at the square every Monday and reflect on the week that has passed.

Á torginum hittast fólk hvønn mánadag og hugleiða um vikuna ið fór.
Besides being marked by Christmas cheer, the past week has also been marked by various societal issues. For example, the Economic Council has published an economic report, the report on the 80s has been discussed in parliament, competition has arrived on the Faroese telecom market, and likewise tax cuts, the pension sy...

Umframt at hava verið merkt av jólahýri hevur undanfarna vika eisini verið merkt av ymiskum samfelagsligum málum. Eitt nú hevur Búskaparráðið útgivið eina búskaparfrágreiðing, frágreiðingin um 80'ini hevur verið viðgjørd á tingi, kapping er komin á føroyska telemarknaðin og somuleiðis hava skattalætti, eftirlønarskipan...
Now that the year is drawing to a close and a new year lies ahead, it is pleasing to be able to confirm that the Faroese economy is doing well.
BLARK_translated
Nú árið er við at halla og eitt nýtt ár stendur fyri framman er gleðiligt at kunna staðfesta, at føroyski búskapurin er væl fyri.
Seen from an economic perspective, 1999 was a very good year. The Faroe Islands had a surplus on the balance of payments, wage growth, good fishing and high export prices, and thereby greater export value and likewise less foreign debt, etc. These are good developments, no doubt about it.
BLARK_translated
Sæð við búskaparligum eygum varð árið 1999 eitt sera gott ár. Føroyar høvdu yvirskot á gjaldsjavnanum, lønarvøkstur, góðan fiskiskap og høgar útflutningsprísir og harvið størri útflutningsvirði og somuleiðis minni uttanlandsskuld v.m. Hetta eru góð tíðindi eingin ivi um tað.
Even better news, however, is that it is estimated that economic growth will continue.
BLARK_translated
Enn betur tíðindi eru tó tey, at mett verður, at búskaparvøksturin fer at halda áfram.
Especially for a small and vulnerable economy like the Faroese one, it is absolutely necessary, among other things, that economic and industrial policy is adapted with the future in mind. After the economic crisis in the early ’90s, Faroese society needs large investments, wage increases, etc. — there is no doubt about...
BLARK_translated
Serstakliga fyri ein lítlan og viðbreknan búskap, sum tann føroyska, er alneyðugt, at m.a. búskapar- og vinnulívspolitikkurin verður tillagaður við framtíðini í huga. Eftir búskaparkreppuna fyrst í 90'inum hevur føroyska samfelagið brúk fyri stórum íløgum, lønarhækkingum v.m. eingin ivi um tað men neyðugt er, at farið ...
Although the political term lasts only 4 years, this does not mean that the economic cycle lasts 4 years — the economic cycle is and will be endless. The decisions taken today that affect the Faroese economy will have consequences many years into the future.
BLARK_translated
Hóast politiska valskeiðið bert telur 4 ár, merkir hetta ikki, at búskaparliga skeiðið telur 4 ár búskaparliga skeiðið er og verður óendaligt. Tær avgerðir, ið verða tiknar í dag, ið ávirka føroyska búskapin, fáa avleiðingar nógv ár framyvir.
As in many other countries, it has almost become customary in Faroese politics that the Christmas splurge in the economic field becomes very large in the last year of a four-year term. This has often resulted in consequences that the next government and the people of the Faroe Islands will have to pay for over a long t...
BLARK_translated
Eins og í nógvum øðrum londum hevur tað nærum verið siður í føroyskum politikki, at jólahýrurin á búskaparliga økinum gjørdist sera stórur seinasta árið av 4-ára valskeiðnum. Hetta hevur mangan viðført árin, ið komandi landsstýrið og Føroya fólk hava skula goldið fyri í langa tíð.
The current government has, however, pursued a fairly sensible policy so far. Despite the economic progress, the fiscal policy has been reasonably prudent and fairly restrained. This has, among other things, been reflected in the public sector’s annual surplus. Now that a hole will soon be put in the last year of this ...

Núverandi landsstýrið hevur tó ført ein rímuliga skilagóðan politikk higartil. Hóast búskaparligu framgongdina hevur fíggjarpolitikkurin verið rímuliga skilagóður og rættuliga afturhaldandi. Hetta hevur m.a. víst seg í árliga yvirskotinum hjá tí almenna. Nú hol skjótt verður sett á seinasta árið í hesum valskeiðnum er ...
The news last week has also been marked by the new pension scheme and the tax relief. Changes in the pension area are necessary, but the problem is that while there is talk of reducing state support, large tax cuts are now being implemented. It would be nice if this is done in connection with a new pension scheme, but ...

Tíðindini í undanfarnu viku hava eisini verið merkt av nýggju eftirlønarskipanini og skattalættanum. Neyðugt er við broytingum á pensiónsøkinum, men trupuleikin er, at samstundis sum tosað verður um, at minka ríkisstuðulin verða nú lætnir stórir skattalættar. Gaman í at hetta verður gjørt í samband við eina nýggja efti...
During this Christmas season it should, however, hopefully be kept in mind that the political Christmas mood at Christiansborg in Denmark is anything but good and the Faroe Islands should by no means expect to receive any Christmas present from there. The best Christmas present the Faroese politicians can give themselv...
BLARK_translated
Í hesum jólatíðum verður tó vónandi havt í huga, at politiski jólahýrurin á Christiansborg í Danmark er alt annað enn góður og Føroyar skal als ikki vænta at fáa nakra jólagávu hagani. Besta jólagávan føroysku politikararnir kunnu geva sær sjálvum og føroysku tjóðini er ein gáva, ið tryggjar, at vit skipa egna skiftist...
The report on the 1980s was discussed in the parliament last week and the debate was very tame; the 80s, on the other hand, were not. We all know the consequences of the policies pursued in the 70s and 80s, and we will be making up for this for many years to come.
BLARK_translated
Frágreiðingin um 1980'ini varð viðgjørd á tingi í undanfarnu viku og var orðaskiftið sera tamt tað vóru 80'ini hinvegin ikki. Øll kenna vit avleiðingarnar av førda politikkinum í 70' og 80'inum og koma vit at bøta fyri hetta nógv ár framyvir.
Much has happened since the economic crisis and the governance system has now been changed. We also have a Statistics Office that monitors economic developments and likewise a Faroese economic council and soon a Faroese stock market, among other things. The ability to manage Faroese society, including reading economic ...

Nógv er tó hent síðan búskaparkreppuna og er eitt nú stýrisskipanin broytt.

Another good example that the Faroese business sector is developing is the new Tele F, which began its operations last week. In addition, at least one more company offering similar services is on its way. We have finally gotten competition in the telecom sector, and this is of course something to be pleased about. This...

Eitt annað gott dømi um, at føroyska vinnulívið mennir seg er nýggja Tele F, ið byrjaði sítt virksemi í undanfarnu viku. Hartil kemur, at minst eitt felag afturat er á veg við líknandi tænastum. Vit hava nú umsíðir fingið kapping á teleøkinum og er hetta sjálvsagt at frøðast um. Hetta merkir eitt nú lægri prísir og bet...
We have it pretty good as it is, so why change anything? These words have been on many lips for years and days. The result of this has also been that Faroese independence has largely not been on the political agenda for many years. But progress is being made in this area as well. The Faroese people have in particular i...
