  • An old Icelandic folksong, lyrics by "Vatnsenda Rósa", she loved him so so so much. Björk performs this perfectly.

  • hector zazou rules !!!!!!!!

  • One of the best songs!

  • or oboe?

  • Omg, so incredibly beautiful, and so fitting. My Mother died in my arms four days ago and I "happened" to find this song. I miss her, my dear, best friend, and I always will. Thank you a thousand times Mrdresden for the translation! Thank you Bjork for your beautiful and touching rendition.. . . . .xoxoxox and, thank you whoever for the haunting clarinet in the beginning.

  • @snowcbearfun clarinet is Renaud Pion if I well remember... another great musician!

  • @Uushi2010 Augun mín og augun þín. Ó þá fögru steina. Mitt er þitt og þitt er mitt, þú veist hvað ég meina. Langt er síðan sá ég hann sannlega fríður var hann. Allt sem prýða má einn mann, mest af lýðum bar hann. Þig ég trega manna mest, mædd af tára flóði. Ó, að við hefðum aldrei sést elsku vinurinn góði.

  • @Uushi2010 And here is a very rough English translation; My eyes and your eyes O those beautiful stones. Mine is yours, and yours is mine you know what I mean. Its been long since I last saw him truly fair was he. With everything good that a single man can be he rose above the rest. You, I miss most of all sadden with tears. O, if only we had never met my dear friend Good luck in August
  • This is such an awsome cover. I loooove this song. So awsome standing in a choir and just having gosebumps while singing it!

  • Uit de tijd dat Bjork nog iets magisch had...ik vind haar nu voornamelijk een beetje eng... :)

  • jaaay im visitor number 20.000 :D

  • I found myself in her music.

  • @SGFawkes This is not her music, she only sings in this one, the music is from a french man : Hecto Zazou…

  • @tchouzebra this is a  traditional Icelandic song with hector zazou's touch .

  • this is truly amazing

  • Can someone upload the NewTone remix? Because it is *really* great!

  • One of my favourite pieces of music ever. Hauntingly beautiful. Superb arrangement, amazing clarinet solo and vocals by an artist at the top of her game. What more could one ask for.

  • Bjork has made a live image of an horrible sorrow under melancholic smile of a woman who sails alone on the ice (as I imagine), broken inside, dignified outside, letting the man she loves go to other woman - which he made pregnant.... Rósa Guðmundsdóttir, fate of that wonderful Icelandic poet from 19th century....

  • Björk in her prime. Perfect.

  • i love this her voice is angelic

  • oh oh! thankyou so much for posting this, she takes my breath away!

    ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
