Margrét Eir - Heiðin há

[GPO16KateBush78]

Great cover of the greatest song ever wrote, takk

[ReesesPieces625]

WHERE has this been my entire life? This is fantastic! I love Icelandic!

[Yozzo]

It's funny how the knowledge of Swedish helps me understand some parts of this song. I never thought the languages would sound at all the same.

[korkur999]

i'm from iceland, and reading all these comments brings a smile upon my face......and then i start laughing

[IsobelBjork]

@fannsafrog WOW, you've got to be kidding me.... you named like Sykur and skipped Björk?

Nothing against Sykur though, I know them, they're great, but you skipped KK, Björk AND Ragga Gísla? What's up with THAT?

[inspireradavstatyer]

What does "Heiðin há" mean? I understood a couple of words - some parts are quite alike Swedish :)

[StBoffers]

@inspireradavstatyer

It is the icelandic version of 'Wuthering Heights' so I think "Heiðin há" means 'Wuthering Heights'

[Lonpon]

@inspireradavstatyer According to an online dictionary "heiðin" means "heath/moorland" like the area where the story takes place and "há" means "high" like the "heights" part of the original title. It's not literally "Wuthering Heights" but it makes sense.

wow thank you

[joshspice88]

Where can I find an MP3 of this?

[GesturErnir]

Just google "free youtube to mp3 converter" and download that program. Very easy to use

[scar89]

I love that bad cut scene 0:47 - 0:49

[dynamics36]

0:47 - 0:57

[reaper2ooX]

hey icelandic peoples, do you guys have any music recommendations? things to check out from iceland? i prefer if it was sung in icelandic but any band from iceland is fine, ANYTHING...metal, rock, black metal xP, solo artists, hip hop, blues, jazz whatever. thank you :)

[starryshaman]

better than kate bush.touch of nightwish.if they could only mix this....miss olzen......

[Elmocelmo]

shé sings it as good as Kate Bush I think, but I like the English lyrics better...

[monkey0alejandro]

She's great! but I would love to see Bjork do this cover in English.

[joshspice88]

I second that!

[littlemisskatie]

I can't even understand this and somehow it manages to be even better than the English version.

[agnesjons]

þetta er svo geggjað!:)

lagið sjálf, svo er hún bara snillingur!

[Oljanna]

Do you have the lyrics? Searched the web but couldn´t find them....

[katierc304]

First verse:

Uppi á heiði hittumst við

Í grasi veltumst við

Í þér bjó ofsinn afbrýðin í mér of heit of ák öf

Því fórstu frá mér? þegar þörfin var mest á þér

Ég hata þig og elska þig

Dóu draumar þá

Mér var sagt mér hefði orðið á

yrði að kveðja heiðina heiðina heiðina há

[katierc304]

Chorus:

Heathcliff það var ég,

ég Kata komdu heim því mér er svo kalt

Hleyptu mér inn um gluggann ó-ó.

Heathcliff það var ég,

ég Kata komdu heim því mér er svo kalt

Hleyptu mér inn um gluggann ó-ó.

[katierc304]

Second verse:

Hér er svo dimmt og drunginn ríkir

Allt svo dapurlegt án þín

Það kúgar mig og þrúgar mig að þú sért ekki

Því kem ég aftur æ Heathcliff

minn draumur minn drottinn ertu

Á nætur alein á stjá

til þín stefni ég þá, skal þér ná

Ætla að leggja á heiðina heiðina heiðina há

[katierc304]

After second chorus:

Ó - sálina í þér hana skal ég handsama

Ó - sálina í þér hana skal ég handsama

Þú þekkir mig ég Kata

[louielogs]

Hey Katier304 Takk!! I'm tring to learn a bit of icelandic and I waqs really hoping to find the lyrics somewhere. I had decyphered the chorus and little bits here and there but not really so much overall. This is really appreciated

[imustbekaro]

hún er snillingur!

Þvílík rödd sem hún er með, og frábært lag! :)

[Oljanna]

Takk!!!

[dictabird]

Þetta er eitt flottasta cover sem ég hef heyrt, og svo sannarlega ekki á auðveldu tónverki. Sýnir enn og aftur hvað við Íslendingar eigum að geyma mikið af hæfileikaríku listafólki sem við getum verið stolt af! Bankakerfi hvað!?

[jamesdemann]

eg elska margret!!!

[kjotboll]

hún er bara snillingur

[hay1lin]

Good, I like pretty much every version of the song

[kajika22]

I like it very much although I don't understand a word of it ;)

[hay1lin]

I understand one word, "heathcliff"

Does that count?

[kajika22]

I don't think so ;)

[thescreamingid]

heathcliff and catherine from Wuthering Heights?

[JourneyOfABook]

I got that bit too lmao

[Aubrieanna]

Not bad at all :)

[tuffpuppy1]

:-) Very good, xx
