  • [My Marianne]
    All by myself
    With this great big world before me
    But it's all for someone else
    I've tried?and?tried again
    To let?you know just where my heart?is
    To tell the truth and not pretend
    All I needed was to get away
    Just to realize that I was meant to stay

    Where the mountains sing through the screams of seagulls
    Where the whales can live 'cause they're gentle people
    In my hometown, my hometown
    Thought I made it clear, do I have to sing it?
    It was always there, we just didn't see it
    All I need is you and me and my home

    (Icelandic)

    [My Marianne, Will Ferrell]
    You want the world (Want the world)
    All the neon lights and billboards
    To be seen and to be heard (Heard)
    And I followed you (Oh-ooh)
    But now I know what makes me happy
    And I can tell you feel it too

    [My Marianne]
    Where the mountains sing through the screams of seagulls
    Where the whales can live 'cause they're gentle people
    In my hometown, my hometown
    Where the northern lights burst out in colors
    And the magic nights surpass all others
    (Icelandic)

    [My Marianne, Will Ferrell]
    (Icelandic)
    My home, my hometown Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
