[AvantiRold]

Thank you for uploading it!

[TheLinkmaster12345]

The true magic of this song is that it tells a story. The story of the human race and our existence. The beginnings, the rise and fall, the triumphs and defeats and the end. God works in mysterious ways. Blessing this gifted band with the idea to write this heavenly song. Its too bad that the human race had to wait until 2005 to hear the song that wud define our existence so beautifully.

[amzyangel92]

A song which has the ability to to silence any crowd, in any country.. with a score so powerful it needs no words <3 truly incredible <3 x

[Karalhovski]

They say they sing just completely random! never knew that random could be always beautifull, but it is.

[dianaellen7]

@Karalhovski

the lyrics in this song are actually all icelandic, and they are beautiful..well if you understand them... but its true that in many of their songs there are madeup lyrics :)

[blogbugboyz]

@dianaellen7 i think its obvius that its not in english

sos about spelling

[dianaellen7]

@blogbugboyz

obviously they are not in engilsh, there was someone talking about the lyrics being only made-up words, and I was saying that they are not made up, but icelandic. ..and I know my spelling is probably very bad, english is not my first language, but I am learning ;)

[elfman5150]

@dianaellen7 If you look up the interview about this song, you will find that this song's lyrics are a combination of icelandic and a language created by jónsi. Either way, it's beautiful, elegant, and most of all, euphoric and inspirational. 

[dianaellen7]

@elfman5150

Yes the song is incredibly beautiful :) But I am icelandic, and I can understand every single word, so I dont think his language is in this song..but if it said so in the interview...

[BeautyNorway]

Mitt nafn er Åsmund, og ég er norsku.

Ég elska þetta lag!

Ég elska líka Island, sem nær er norska;)

[bends1231]

im pretty sure most of their songs is just a language in itself. i heard that when u buy the albums where the lyrics are usually in that little booklet, theres just lines under the songs, so u can just write what u feel it is to u.

[DubyaDubyaE]

For those who don't know, most of Sigur Ros' songs aren't even in Icelandic. They literally just make up sounds to express how they feel because sometimes words can't get feelings across. So they just let their mouths open and whatever comes out comes out. I'm not even joking. Google it, do some research if you don't believe me.

[brittybabi08]

@DubyaDubyaE tis truee. its called hopelandic :] jonsi says so himself

[mcca99]

In all honesty i DONT want to know what the words mean.. When i listen to Sigur Ros the melody just tales my mind somewere else and i almost make up the lyrics myself!

[waspii]

This song is briliant :-))))))

[Sneaklemming]

Not understand the lyrics means that the voice is simply another instrument; for you to assaign your own meaning to

[Resteraunt69]

I think for those who don't speak Icelandic the impact is greater. Mainly because if you don't know what he's singing about, the words could mean anything you want them to.

I looked up the lyrical translation for "Ny batteri" (New batteries) and I found that some of the words are somewhat suicidal...? I might be wrong. But my point is that I would have had no idea from listening to the song without knowing the language.

[drarr45]

@Resteraunt69 I agree

I dont speak Icelandic but Sigur Rós is just as powerful..

I think that the emotion that they show in their songs translates as well if not better, than language itself...

It's beautiful

[jegovernor]

the thing about not knowing the lyrics, if you only know english...when i listen to them i understand them in english..sounds weird, but its amazing!

[mikerstudios]

i feel the exact same :) amazing song.

[fluffybunnyshoez]

To have the ability to create a musical composition so powerful that the words are completely irrelavant........ Awe inspiring

[TheWrighty1]

@fluffybunnyshoez i listen to sigur ros at work and everyone says how shit it is because you dnt know what they are singing about , every time i tell them the beauity of there music is you can relate to every song, because you can deside for yourself what the song is about, to some people this song ( hoppopolla) might make them cry bring back sad memorys , and to some like me it puts the bigst smile on my face no other band in the world can do that with every song on every album simply amazing !

[gingerpezdude]

Its strange... in not having an understanding of the lyrics this should completely disconnect me from this song, but the sheer power of the music ensures this song means more to me than most. Just a beautiful piece of music.

[myusernameiskendra]

i want to learn iceland langue .

[olimpia776]

Las melodias de las canciones vienen del cielo !!!!!!!

[DiestUno]

Esta banda es única en el mundo y de verdad mueve almas como dijo alguien por ahí! (Y)

[monopog]

must be epic to see this song live

[BuddyWillis]

It is, massive waves of serotonin :]

[TheWrighty1]

@monopog i saw them in london, they had a snow machine inside when this song came on it started to snow !

[arsenal30liverpool]

I NEED to see these live.

[jhpb93]

This band is untouchable.

[schnad]

I couldn't have said it any better, my friend.

[AndreXieL]

Sigur Ros es especial. La musica mueve almas.

[freakyobsessed]

the number of emotions this song conveys is unbelievable. its a strange mix of sadness, joy, loneliness, love, emptiness & most of all hope. incredibly beautiful

[IloveFrusciante]

this is just so beautiful.

Makes me cry everytime i hear it.

[egisama]

[YamakiKohai94]

[Kmux93]

[livigirl93]

SIGUR ROS is amazing!!!! their music makes me cry! its SO beautiful!!

[berrysanders123]

i like this song even though i have no idea what its saying

[lee65800]

absolutely brilliant so different from everything else and it works, best song ive ever heard

[georgexkr]

Hoppipolla in Icelandic is a sort of compressed translation of the english: Hopping in Puddles

[MrMagicMushroom]

Isn't it splashing puddles?

[Collette191107]

Jumpin' Puddles

[birkir32]

Brosandi=Smiling. Hendumst í hringi= spinning round and round Höldumst í hendur=holding hands.  Allur heimurinn óskír= the whole world's a blur./ Nema þú stendur= but you are standing./ Rennblautur= soaked/ allur rennblautur= completely drenched/ Engin gúmístígvél=no rubber boots./ Hlaupandi inní okkur= runing in side of us./ Vill springa út úr skel=want to erupt from a shell./ vindurinn= the vind.

[ananasai]

fantastika:>

[nbhd11]

This is the song which make me love sigur ros.

[MrMagicMushroom]

I think this is the song that made everyone love Sigur Ros! :)

[ya2121]

yes this song is icelandinc, because in every video he sings in the words are the same.

[gunwee]

All of the lyrics on ( ) are sung in Vonlenska, also known as Hopelandic, a constructed language of nonsense syllables which resembles the phonology of the Icelandic language. It has also been said that the listener is supposed to interpret their own meanings of the lyrics which can then be written in the blank pages in the album booklet.

"Hoppípolla" (Icelandic for "Jumping into puddles")

The lyrics for Hoppipolla are mainly in Icelandic, with some lines sung in Vonlenska ("Hopelandic")

[tathya7]

ur explanation is intriguing specially when u said 'a constructed language of nonsense syllables', is that even possible? it's very interesting. and since i don't speak icelandic, can u tell me what's the whole song mean? it's ok if u wanna share ur interpretation cuz i just need to know what it means, it's a beautiful song.

[sppartacus]

Vonlenska isn't a language, it's just chanting, it has absolutely no meaning.

[danilorex91]

this kind of songs make you feel the depth of emotion

[Darkmattercs69]

dumbass, this was one of the only songs on the album that they sang in icelandic. The rest is that made up language they use. But this song IS icelandic.

[kingsmountainview]

ok here goes. yes hoppipolla means hopping puddles but that's not "really" what the song is about. The song is about overcoming adversity, ie not letting a rainy day get you down. the last lines "eg fae blodnasir, en eg stend alltaf upp" (i get a bloody nose, but i always get/stand up.) as for vonlenska/hopelandic it's not a fuckin language, those require actual words and grammar. humming notes to vocalize with the melody is far from that.

[aebsi]

the first word in this song is brosandi = smiling, next phrase höldumst í hringi = hold hand in hand in a circle, next phrase höldumst í hendur = hold hand in hand......I can go through the whole song word for word translating from Icelandic to English but because of the 500 limit I can't and I won't, it's already been said that this song is sang in Icelandic not partly but completely, I don't even understand why you people are arguing with native Icelanders on this hopelandic subject

[Kassanaomi]

No I'm fairly sure it's about hoping in puddles. Go watch the music video. The guy literally gets a bloody nose.

[Coordinator03]

How do you know it's not Icelandic? Are you fluent in that particular language, or are you trying to sound smart?

[42LightYears]

Wooooopp! Love this so much :)

[willingvirginia]

isnt this really just space music or mood music. if they sung in english would you really actually like them

[mattc867]

why do you have to be a bitch?

[Majikfish]

Not really as I know what most of the lyrics mean in English. Not that we'd expect you to understand anything about other cultures.

[bibulous]

These songs couldn't be sung in English because there's nothing to translate. The vast majority of what he's singing is just made up words, not icelandic. Different people hear different words, each listener has a different interpretation.

Also, Majikfish you are a complete tit. You can't be elitist if you don't know absolutely basic and crucial details about the band. If you know what the 'lyrics' mean in english maybe you should let Sigur Ros know because you know more than them.

[bibulous]

Worth noting that Hoppipolla is mostly icelandic, but most of the other songs aren't.

[Majikfish]

so in other words, you went mental for what reason exactly?

It's a great tune, as far as i was aware this song had something to do with jumping in puddles. But who cares, calm down!

[birkir32]

ectualy he is singin in icelandic.... couse i understand every word he says

[tathya7]

what's hoppipolla mean?

[Ofurstinn]

It means like "Jump in small pools".

Kinda hard to translate, you know when like little kids jump in small pools

:o

[tathya7]

o wait nevermind

[2Feet1Wheel]
