This is one of the most beautifully haunting songs I've ever heard!!! Even though I don't understand enough Icelandic to understand what the song is about nor appreciate the rhymes. There is something ancient inside these old songs I think. Part of what makes it beautiful like the country and people from which it came.

BRINGS UP MEMORIES OF MY GRANDFATHER WHO USED TO SING CHANTS IN AN ORTHODOX CHURCH IN GREECE (IPIROS) FOR NEARLY 80 YEARS.

The music:
Á ferð til Breiðafjarðar vorið 1922;
translating to
On route to 'Broadfirth' in the spring of 1922.
Non-literal translation.
And yes, the singer is called Steindór Andersen.
It is indeed a rímur, an Icelandic, and possibly originating in the Scandinavian homelands, rhyming epic poetry. Ye can chack Wikipedia for more information on that.
Minn Heima means... Mine Home ?
Have a jolly good time indeed. Indeedly indeed.
Goo-byze!

I don't know, it's a version of a "rimur" (icelandic folk) arranged by Sigur Ros. You can watch the video in Heima's dvd.
