  • ultimate foot tapping song!!!

  • I accidently downloaded this song and it's the best accident ever

  • I'm pretty sure this song sums up joy in itself.

  • Sigur Ros <3

  • They sample the last verse of this song for "year of silence" by crystal castles and it is also amazing but in a much darker way.

  • this is by far one of my favorite songs in the whole world!

  • @TheBig_Sam sent me here.

  • 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

  • JAWS SENT ME HERE

  • is this french?

  • @jejegirlxx it's icelandic

  • I thought the close your eyes annotation was so that I should close my eyes while listening, doy :3

  • @thejellyfisha and It works !

  • Forgetting about this song was the worst thing I ever did. Rediscovering it was the best!

  • Crystal Castles made a song from this, Arcade Fire made a career from it

  • @epli09

    so the song is about you?

  • @epli09 so just because jonsi is gay you make a stupid comment like that, utter mug.

  • Hey why doesn't this song have a LOVE button?!?!?!

  • Shivers down my spine the entire song!

  • THIS IS GENIUS

  • I love this band, they're so amazing. :)

  • Those violins during the bridge are amazing!

  • i think these guys are on another level their music seems deep and meaningful, even though i cant understand what they are saying

  • Music is the language of the universe :)

  • My lover made me listen to this song and every time I listen to it I cry....

  • i thought there were no lyrics to sigur ros songs

  • @estebanjulian111 It varies, on some he sings in Icelandic, in others a made up language

  • 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. :')

  • @MegatronElectro Boys don't cry.

  • @ploothable

    Yes they do

    What on Earth are you talking about?

  • @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.

    Apparently I was unsuccessful. I apologize.

  • @UntilAltaAllows Hell yea man

  • Now I love it even more

    

  • hell yeah son

  • Pure music :D

  • this is what i call happiness!

  • Crystal Castles lead me to some really friggen cool songs

  • I hate it when searching for "inni m" and inni minni of justin bieber comes before this song.

  • weirded lyrics I just realized haha.

  • Ást á Ísland og Sigur Rós

  • This song makes my heart fly. I feel like I can do anything when I'm listening to this *dreamy smile*

  • Comment removed

  • love 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.

  • Icelandic = epic beautiful language

  • WOW 3:33 is the best feeling in the world!

  • þetta er brjálað lag maður sæll

    

  • @crazygaur þetta lag er svo best!

  • ROGER FEDERER

  • sigur rós..... undiscribeable

    

  • sigurrós + smyrliefni + blaut tuska = gott kvöld

  • BEST SONG EVER !

  • 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

  • @inqueling, mmmm, lamb and tuna fish...

  • @geekymarianne lamb and tuna fish? what spaghetti and meatball? you more comfterable with that analogy?

  • It makes me shiver...

  • best porn on youtube right here.

    :D

  • @Panzi10 What's that suppose to indicate...?

  • I love Sigur Ros. 

  • inspiring music :D

    i allways listen too it before a football/soccer game.

  • @ElvarK1 heey! we do that too... in my team xD

  • @emeliag11

    XD

  • @ElvarK1 fyrir reyup, vorum við að naugða því líka! :)

  • Where is this band from and what language do they sing/talk in?

  • @FatNinjaProduction1 Icelandic and Hopelandic

  • @FatNinjaProduction1 Icland! Iceelandic/Hopelandic!

  • OMFG!! CRYSTAL CASTLES IS AMAZING!!! THEY KEEP EXPANDING MY MUSIC GENRE SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @jando2489

    what? lol, i like crystal castles too, but why you talking about them on a sigur rós video? haha

  • @xXxDaNgErMouSE93xXx

  • This is the song of me and my fiancee. She is gone now

    and I cant do anything else but cry

    I dont want to live anymore.

    I dont even know what im doing now... seeking comfort in someone else's reply. the remembrance of a stranger.

    this magic depicted in this song. I lived.

    I hope everyone gets to live it. I desire no one to loose it as I did.

  • 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!

  • @tjungg mine to it´s just something to it :)

  • @tjungg A smile that is to large for a face of a human being.

  • @tjungg I want to cum on your chin

  • i heard icelandish is a pretty damn hard language to learn.

  • It's called Icelandic. Yes, it's hard to learn for those who don't know a German or Scandinavian language before.

  • And even for those it isn't easy ;D

  • naa.. i learned it when i was like 1 years old , svo fokkaðu þér bara mjééllaa

  • Yeah, it's easy to be bilingual at a young age. But learning a new language when your older is difficult.

  • ........ wow...

    just wow

  • This band is amazing

  • best country in the world

    best band in the country

    best song by the band

    best song eva'

    and at 2:28 when it says we cried out loud on each other's arms

    it actually says we cried out loud "its so f*cking cold"

    I know, i speak some icelandic because i speak norwegian

  • why are you guys voting negative, hes right.

  • lyrics are heartbreaking for me

  • beautiful song

  • Iceland is the best country in the world.

    I'm not joking.

    True story.

    Worship us.

  • *Bows down and worships*

  • Icelandic

  • okay, maybe I'm stupid, but in witch language are they singing?

  • I think it's iclandic.

  • it is

  • 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

  • They are singing in Icelandic... im from iceland so i know that ;)

  • I'm a fan of the band.. and the country of Iceland. Hehe :D I want to visit Reykjavik soon

  • who doesnt?

  • I went there last year. It was incredible. I actually got to go to a Sigur Ros concert which was freaking insane. They're amazing live :D

  • 예-

  • Thank you to everyone who translates these lyrics, even if some differ in opinions I very much appreciate all of you.

  • LO MEJOR EN MUCHO TIEMPO

  • ahuevo :D si supieramos Islandes estaria mejor no? jaja

  • jajaja si, XD

  • pero bastante mejor, o por lo menos que fuera lengua romance para entender los sonidos... jajaja

  • Es como el inglés... que es sajona... que era francés... que era romance. No te preocupes, hay canciones que ni en español les entiendo.

  • SIMPLEMENTE LO MEJOR EN MUCHO TIEMPO

  • its not a lunatic

  • this is heartbreaking lyrics.

  • 'whithin me a lunatic sings' is a better translate

  • 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

  • great! it's wonderful to be able to understand this song! thank you

  • i hope i didnt sound too pretentious, the translation was really good!

  • 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..

    the rest is really good!

  • 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
  • Minn besti vinur hverju sem dynur

    Illum látum, í faðmi grátum

    Ég kyngi tári og anda hári

    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

  • Wow

  • I cryed like a baby!

  • Yes, we get it, but still lovely and just mind trip, thank you!.
