Kata, Kбt med ljуsa lokka,
Lнfsglцd, hefur yndisthokka,
Kata, kann svo vel ad rokka rokk.
Alltaf, medan dansinn dun ar.
Djass-lynd Kata um gуlfid brunar,
Elskar meira en margan grunar rokk.
Hъn er smб, hyr б brб,
Horfid б - sъ er knб!
Allir thrб ad sjб thegar hъn tekur rъmbuna.
Hъn dansar thб Kata,
Med ljу lokka, lнfsglцd, hъn hefur yndisthokka.
Hъn kann svo vel ad rokka rokk...
Hъn er smб, hyr б brб,
Horfid б - sъ er knб! -
Allir thrб ad sjб thegar hъn tekur rъmbuna.
Hъn - thetta er hъn Kata - hъn, hъn dansar

Rokk rokk rokk rokk....

Dansar rokk, dansar rokk
Rokk rokk rokk rokk....
