To the previous "basic translation" comment that the name of this song means "Fuck as the Devil" - not cool!! Just like in English, many Icelandic words have double meaning, and in this particular case the words of the song "Ridum sem fjandinn" mean "Let's ride as the Devil" - ( not "fuck as the devil" ). It's actually a beautiful rallying song, sung by a group of horsemen on an outing in the Icelandic wilderness. Very positive lyrics, nothing to do with fucking, OK?
This reminds me of the horse trekking I did back in '02. What an unforgettable experience that was. It sure made me appreciate where my gelding came from as he was born there. You haven't experience Iceland truly until you ride with experienced horsemen like these guys and sing the folk songs in the high country amongst glacier fed streams. I dream of someday going back and doing it again.
@kirstenmc68 Ik zie al een heel koppeltje door de berm heen hobbelen in mijn hoofd...het zou wel een beetje misplaatst zijn hier in Nederland, jammer genoeg...Weer een goed excuus om "gewoon" even naar IJsland af te reizen ;)
Icelandic horse board says English would be: Ride like hell Ride, ride, drive (the herd) over the sand Ride like hell Whack that horse That's how we'll have some fun. Ride, ride, drive (the herd) over the sand Ride like hell Don't slow the horse down This is a great party There's still lots of moonshine in the bottle And flatbread in the saddle bag And there's some embers glowing in the ash We will come home very drunk! (Love this video!!!)
Icelandic horse board says lyrics are: RÍÐUM SEM FJANDINN Ríðum, ríðum, rekum yfir sandinn, ríðum sem fjandinn skellum í gandinn svona skemmtir sér landinn. Hæ! Ríðum, ríðum, rekum yfir sandinn, ríðum sem fjandinn stillum ei gandinn þetta er stórkostlegt geim. Það er fullt af bruggi í flöskunni og flatbrauðsneið í töskunni og glóð er enn í öskunni við komum öskufullir heim.
I used to work on an icelandic horse farm in Canada.... I miss the spunky things! It has been years since I have ridden one, but I will never forget the experience!
I've watched this at least 10 times:) But these horses are so wonderful.

This is completely wrong translation. The right one would be "Ride s the Devil" which is of course has very different meanings

for those non icelandic, the basic translation for the title of this song is "Fuck as the Devil"
