d_o sings Björk's Vökuró

Hahah, I guess this is my grand debut in YouTube.
I love this song and I figured it would be easier to sing than any of Sigur's.
Anyways, I already know I'm a horrible singer so I really don't need any flame on that.
I'm more interested in my pronunciation than carrying a tune. So if any of you have tips for me on that subject, I would really appreciate a comment. :J

Here are the lyrics:

Bærinn minn
bærinn minn og þinn
sefur sæll í kyrrð
fellur mjöll
hljótt í húmi á jörð
grasið mitt
grasið mitt og þitt
geymir mold til vors

Hjúfrar lind
leynt við brekkurót
vakir eins og við
lífi trútt
kyrrlátt kalda vermsl
augum djúps
útí himinfyrrð
starir stillt um nótt

Langt í burt
vakir veröld stór
grimmum töfrum tryllt
eirðarlaus
óttast nótt og dag
augu þín
óttalaus og hrein
brosa við mér björt

Vonin mín
blessað brosið þitt
vekur ljóð úr værð
hvílist jörð
hljóð í örmum snæs
liljuhvít
lokar augum blám
litla stúlkan mín

Oh I like you! I'm actually from Kentucky but I do know a bit about Icelandic pronunciation. I'll put it like this.. if you have listened to the other cover versions of this song you will know that your pronunciation is far better than the others.

I realize you don't want advice on your vocals but I really want to tell you that you're not a wretched singer. You were concentrating on the language more and slurring some because of it but overall you hit more notes than you missed! A+

eiginlega ekki dæma ekki mjög vel en það sem skiptir máli er að minnsta kosti reynir... =P Good try..!!! n_n

[fnegrin]

you actually sing it really well. it is not an easy melody, with unexpected intervals. bravo!!!! I do not know if your icelandic is any good though!! lol lol By the way, the song is not by Björk . She just sings it.
