Icelandic and Norwegian were the same language once but Norwegian change so they can't really read old stories as well as we Icelanders =)

I think it is sad that we swedes are so very poor as regards culture. In Sweden they do not show nothing from our neighbour countries. We do not know any artists in Norway, Denmark, Finland and Iceland. Neither they seldom show films from these countries and very few swedish TV-productions. Not even from Europe. We are only feeded with poor and stupid films from USA. We are very very poor culturally. I think the swedes are going to be a silly population.

How wonderful song! I haven't thought about learning Icelandic songs, but after that I must! Although, the most problem is the Icelandic pronunciation :,(
I really don't know how to pronounce some sound in that language... I find the Swedish-Norwegian-Finnish pronunciation simpler, I haven't got any problem with them for now, but Icelandic? Could anyone give me a hand with that?

Could you please publish the translation that you've got? this song is very interesting
Did Bergþóra Árnadóttir do any other recording? I've found very little about her in the web.

it is a fantastic poem - by one of Iceland´s greatest poets: Steinn Steinarr - i hope some day someone will translate his body of work to english.

thank you all for your comments
from the daughter of Bergþóra who passed away a couple of years ago - it is so great to see how many have taken the time to experience her music:)

fyrsta verk minningarsjóðs Bergþóru mun verða að láta setja öll lögin hennar á nótur svo sem flestir geti spilað þau:) ég á von á því að það verði áður en árið er úti. Þau munu verða aðgengileg í tónverkamiðstöðinni og víðar.
