Here are the lyrics translated by me to English, with some of the words I didnt know exactly which one to pick out of the translation, so I keep all of them until I know better :)
Iceland is your country
Iceland is your country, and always you keep
Iceland on your mind, wherever you go.
Iceland is the country, which at young you dream,
Iceland in the light of hope that you see,
Iceland in the summers all green decoration,
Iceland with glittering northern lights fringe.
Iceland to the fathers accomplishments nursed,
Iceland is the land, that gave you the life.
((please note that in these "Icelandic..." lines, there is only one that is actually talking about the Icelandic language))
Icelandic is the nation that keeps your heritage
Icelandic is your tongue, pure like gold.
Icelandic is the (spring/source), which streams through your vains.
Icelandic is the hope, filled with optimism.
Icelandic is the night of spring,all bright as day,
Icelandic is the temperament, with prowess courage.
Icelandic is the quatrain, the Icelandic (atmosphere, tone, character)
Icelandic is the believe in freedom's spring.
Iceland is your country, that shall never be forgotten,
to Iceland you dedicate strength and work
Icelandic nation, you are meant to keep,
Icelandic tongue, the most valuable heritage
Iceland be blessed, through series of centuries,
The Icelandic earth, that gave you the life
Iceland (be given to you/be yours), eternal father
Iceland be free, while sun gilds ocean.
Here are the Icelandic lyrics
Ísland er land þitt
Ísland er land þitt, og ávallt þú geymir
Ísland í huga þér, hvar sem þú ferð.
Ísland er landið sem ungan þig dreymir,
Ísland í vonanna birtu þú sérð,
Ísland í sumarsins algræna skrúði,
Ísland með blikandi norðljósa traf.
Ísland að feðranna afrekum hlúði,
Ísland er foldin, sem lífið þér gaf.
Íslensk er þjóðin sem arfinn þinn geymir
Íslensk er tunga þín skír eins og gull.
Íslensk er sú lind,sem um æðar þér streymir.
Íslensk er vonin, af bjartsýni full.
Íslensk er vornóttin, albjört sem dagur,
Íslensk er lundin með karlmennskuþor.
Íslensk er vísan, hinn íslenski bragur.
Íslensk er trúin á frelsisins vor.
Ísland er land þitt, því aldrei skal gleyma
Íslandi helgar þú krafta og starf
Íslenska þjóð, þér er ætlað að geyma
íslenska tungu, hinn dýrasta arf.
Ísland sé blessað um aldanna raðir,
íslenska moldin, er lífið þér gaf.
Ísland sé falið þér, eilífi faðir.
Ísland sé frjálst, meðan sól gyllir haf.
Magnús Þór Sigmundsson / Margrét
the majority of Icelanders eat chicken, pork and beef. traditional foods were fish, lamb and horse but those are on the decline.
whale meat is eaten on rare occasions, and is usually done in some lame attempt to show national pride.
