It isn't really "sad" per se, a lot of their songs are really gentle and soft, but that song has a sad feel. If you mean the lyrics, here is the translation :
My little friend I lull to rest
But outside, a face looms at the window
When the mighty mountains
Fill your chest with burning desire,
I will play the langspil
and soothe your mind
My little friend I lull to rest
But outside, a face looms at the window
When the cruel storms rage
and the dark blizzard crouches above,
I shall light five candles
and drive away the winter shadows
the first 2 lines haven't been translated but those are most of the lyrics. I know it's also used in Iceland as a sort of lullaby
