@h1zchan No, she said that just before she came to Iceland, she was heartbroken for about two days, after a love affair. In those two days, she wrote this song. The lyrics are in Faroese.
Controlled (but just barely) primal emotion. As only a primal nordic tongue could capture. In the long melodious harmonies I hear that voice of love calling out through a dark Yule season forest. Oh, ardor, satisfy my dark thoughts and may the dawn herald love from desire.
i want to learn icelandic but right now im busy with keeping my german and learning english and swedish. and im in ninth grade so in sweden i got exams right now
"One time when i was,,,,how old was i? about sixteen, maybe seventeen years old. it was right before i came to Iceland to live. at that time,,,what's called in icelandic? At that time I had some rather grave love problems, that lasted right about,,,two days. (laugh) And in this two days i wrote a song, that is called "Nú brennur tú í mær", now you are burning inside of me."
Can anyone please tell me what that sweet jug looking percussion instrument is? I want one but it's obviously inaccessible without knowing what it's called. Thanks.
I noticed that no one had posted the lyrics, so I thought I'd contribute. :P hahah. Beatiful, powerful song. Fantastic. Tá ið eg sá teg fúka framvið, Kendi mítt lítla hjarta ongan frið, Tín glóðheiti eldur brendi meg, Og aldri aftur skal eg kyssa teg. Nú brennur tú í mær Nú brennur tú í mær. Tá ið eg sá teg balla teg inn Í dúnmjúka, heita kropsskinn, Kyssa hennar vælangandi tár, Lata hana grøða tíni sár.
This is an amzing song! And no, she´s not icelandic, she´s from Faroe islands but visits Iceland alot. She learned icelandic and sings sometimes in icelandic. But she´s 100% from Faroe Islands
já, þetta er ekkert annað enn mjög góð færeysku hjá tér,, ;)
jú, eini sinni var eg í Íslandi tá ið eg var lítil,,, og eg má siga tað sama, eg varð púra skotin í teimum íslensku gentunum, tær vóru bara sooo elskiligar <3
tað er ræðuligt, at tey halda, at eivør er íslendsk! hon er føroysk! hon, teitur og the dreams eru tey størstu tónleikaranar úr føroyum, og tey skulu ikki halda at hon er íslendsk!
hello i ´m from iceland...i love her songs ... its so beutiful but this song " nu brennur tu i mer " is like Greece song ... i mean it ,,can you not think about greeks ,,,sparta ,troy or some :D !!! just think about it !!!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
thats mabey i have live in greece in 17 years you fucking fag and why do you reply ? mother fucker ,,, you think this song of your mommys sleeping story !! fuck off
Don't understand a word....but a great song...emotional....soulful...powerful.The woman has a great voice and looks stupendous. I would never hear this in Italy if it wasn't for You-Tube. Makes me want to visit Iceland!Thanks,Ms. Palsdottir.
@vastedda99@vastedda99 Yes she really is but she isn't Icelandic, she's from the Faroe Islands but lived in Iceland. Many Faroese musicians come to Iceland to work, fx. Jógvan Hansen.
@vastedda99 Another plus to the wonderful Internet and youtube ofc. Great to hear stuff from all over the world. Same as vastedda99, don't understand a word but I do enjoy it.
yes, that's right. it does mean "now you're burning in me" literally translated, it says "now burning you in me"
she is speaking Icelandic at the beggining, since she's in Iceland. But the song is in Faroese. She says the title in Faroese first, then translates it into Icelandic straight after.
Ihhh i'm love Eivør she sing just so good . And my mother have Desin the cover of the CD ther come after Krákan. She have desine/make it together whit Edward Fuglø :D Cool right :D. And i have been to a koncert whit her in Faroe Island, ofcours whit my mom :P.
ehm, what do you mean? I was just advertising my new video, which teaches basic Faroese phrases. I thought people watching this video might be interested. So once again, it's called "Faroese language lesson".
Cool heimspekingur! I thought all the same the reader might like to know that Eivør is speaking to languages Icelandic and Faroese in the video above.
@heimspekingur .you might know that she is also Icelandic her father is Icelandic but she grow up in Faroes Island and there was an Icelander that found out her great talent and got her on the map.
