just wanted to point out that in the second verse it should be: I open my eyes again, not: oh no, its á ný not ó nei, but I can see how it´s easy for a non Icelander to miss that one
I literally bursed into tears listening to this song, around 3:00, I am a grown up man at 21 years, madly in love with my girlfriend, and I thought of her while reading the lyrics and listening.. It was an beautifull thing, thank you Sigur Ros, I know what you felt making this song. :')
@gatheringleaves I was pointing out an absurdity that seems to subtly have manifested itself into the subconscious of our culture. While still advocating the idea, officially it's deemed to be untrue, and I was pointing to the cognitive dissonance of this with a satirical remark that was designed to make you question it's validity by allowing you to reflect on the notion that boys are in fact not human and therefore should not behave as such.
Does anyone know where can I find the music sheet for this song? I'm going to tattoo: 'Inní mér syngur vitleysingur' on my forearm with the musical notes of it.
If anyone can help me out I would really appreciate it.
I love this, Crystal Castles sampled this and took out the happy part, lol… The song that sampled this is called "Year of Silence" by Crystal Castles.
OK, I checked out the Crystal Castles song on so many ppls recommendations here, ugh. I love CC and SR, but not together! Sigur Ros, to me, seems to be spinning the soundtrack to a gloriously perfect childhood--you know, the one that only exists in the minds of adults. Crystal Castles makes me want to do dirty things to others and be punished double in return (and yes, it makes me really, really wanna dance, too). So, WHY would they go good together?? It's like lamb and tuna fish :B
@inqueling I think that's kinda the point, like showing a darkside to the subject matter of this song, it's werid that all it takes is a change of tone and suddenly the song's lyrics can be viewed from a totaly diffrent angle
dont feel so bad about yourself or life.. there is always time for everything to happen in this earth, time to begin and a time to end, believe there is a meaning.... and of coz, now is the time for us to hope again.. and live on.. we all support u!
This was AMAZING to hear live. The whole place was jumping up and down as one body, thousands of us clapping along, making music with this amazing band. Pure happiness. <3 forever!!! <3 <3 <3 <3!!!!!
well technically irish is called gaelic... im not from ireland but both my grandparents are and they both speak it (gaelic) but this is in icelandic anyways
thank you for translating it, because this is what you get when you put the first 2 lines in a translate program: RIVER silverware - river Train oil allan tímann authorize and augun blá
There are some small problems with the english translations of the text below...
ég óska mér og loka nú augunum is I make a wish and close the eyes now (not close YOUR eyes)...
flugvélarbrak ofaní jördu syngur... ofaní is like "above" or something like that, it's a preposition. so there is no "cracking open" on that sentence..
Actually, ofan í means something like: In or into. For an example: Farðu ofan í pokann = Get into the bag.
Therefore "Ofan í jörðu syngur" means something like "Inside the earth, it sings"(That is, if the "Flugvélabrak"(Airplane wreckage or airplane creek/clatter) is doing the singing.)
Á silfur-á Lýsir allan heiminn og augun blá Skera stjörnuhiminn Ég óska mér og loka nú augunum Já, gerðu það, nú rætist það Ó nei Á stjörnuhraða Inni í hjarta springur, flugvélarbrak Ofaní jörðu syngur Ég óska mér og loka nú augunum Já, gerðu það, lágfara dans Allt gleymist í smásmá stund og rætist það Opna augun Ó nei
Minn besti vinur hverju sem dynur Ég kyngi tári og anda hári Illum látum, í faðmi grátum Þegar að við hittumst Þegar að við kyssumst Varirnar brenndu, höldumst í hendur Ég sé þig vakinn Ég sé þig nakinn Inní mér syngur vitleysingur Alltaf þið vaða, við hlaupum hraðar Allt verður smærra Ég öskra hærra Er er við aða, í burtu fara
