Pocahontas (Icelandic) Colors of the Wind

Pocahontas belongs to DISNEY!!!
-------------------------------
This was a request ^^

Translating this song was quite the challange, so I got galacticChicken to help me, and we did it together. I think it turned out pretty good :)

I want to say that the lyrics are good, but after hearing the perfect Arabic version, then it's so hard to say!! But, I think though that the lyrics give the message and therefore keep the original intention.

I think that Valgerður's voice fits well for Pocahontas. It's deep, but bright and she therefore doesn't sound ingorant.

I apologise for these two words my fellow Europeans :(

I live in Denmark, but my parents are Faroese, so i speak Faroese and i understand this fairly well :)

It's beautiful in Icelandic! I have noticed that scandic/nordic languages tend to sound very beautifull when sung. (like norwegian, icelandic, faroese and swedish)

[theJrLinguist]

Wow, I like the sound of this language. I alwayus heard that Icelandic had dental fricatives, but now I'm hearing it for the first time and its amazing

[gudrunbirtagunnarsd]

I am Icelandic, and i have always loved Pocahontas and The Little Mermaid :) Icelandic is a very beautiful language, and Valgerður Guðnadóttir has a beautiful voice. i recently went to a concert with her and bunch of other singers :) It was soooo beautiful ! You may recognize Frostrósir? Valgerður Guðnadóttir is a singer in that group ;)

[kipkayify]

It's kind of weird how when you hear a song in languages you don't understand, it sounds so beautiful. I speak Greek and pretty decent French, so when I hear their versions of disney songs it doesn't sound special, but when I hear them in Icelandic or Cantonese it sounds epic!

[TekilaCocktailSuRi]

Nordic languages rock *-*

....Now I want to learn icelandic T____T .....

[tHen135]
