I hope this helps a little to understand one of their songs. ;-)

ég elska þetta lag... ég er að læra íslensku fyrir því, og fyrir Sigur Rós. og því íslenska er mjöööög falleg :). (hvernig er íslenska mín? ég veit enginn sem talar íslensku... svo það er erfitt að læra henni. Takk!)

@MaskFaceDude ok, I had to translate that lol! like I said, sadly I don't speak icelandic myself, I wish I could! I took the lyrics from wikilyrics ;-) one day I'll learn icelandic as well, thanks for your comment!

[NeonFoxLetsPlays]

very nice but just a minor correction.

on the line "Í votu grasinu geng þangað til", "til" alone doesn't men "until".

"til" alone means "to" or "towards". "þangað til" means "until" if used as a conjunction.

@NeonFoxLetsPlays Thank you for your correction, but like I said before, I took the translation from Wikilyrics. I wish I knew icelandic, one day I'll take a course and learn at least the basics :-)

[chillinrunner]

I think this is one of their most beautiful songs

[RazorCutProductions]

5/5 I've looked everywhere with lyrics of such beauty translated to english of their music. Thank you so much!

Would you mind maybe doing a few others? Such as my absolute Vaka? :D

[TTMichael18]

@RazorCutProductions Vaka is in Hopelandic. So, basically, what I'm saying is... It's in gibberish. It doesn't have discernable lyrics. You make your own meaning.

I love how there's only good and positive comments in sigur ros videos maybe if the world would listen to them rather then some mainstream crap, the world would be a better place.

[AuRoRiSBkN09]

@whitenotetheband will search your band and give it a listen :-)

no, I don't record any of my singing, ehmmm, kind of shy lol I think I'd get ripped off by crappy comments if I'd ever upload a video of me singing here to youtube lol ;-)

[whitenotetheband]

@AuRoRiSBkN09 Great ! Can we listen to you somewhere ? Hey check my band White Note, I think you would enjoy it since it's influenced by Sigur Ros and Radiohead :)

[AuRoRiSBkN09]

@whitenotetheband you don't need my permission but Sigur Ros's! lol

happy you liked the translation, although, like I've said earlier, I didn't do it myself but instead took the translations from wikkilyrics ;-)

good luck with your gig! I also play drums and sing :-)

[whitenotetheband]

Hi AuRoRiSBkN09,

I want you to know that I'm greatful for this translation, and with your permission I will cover it in english next sunday night, during an acoustic gig of my band White Note.

Thank you again
