ég er kominn aftur
inn í þig það er svo gott að vera (hér) en stoppa stutt við ég flýt um í neðarsjávar hýði (á hóteli) beintengdur við rafmagnstöfluna (og nærist) tjú, tjú, tjú tjú, tjú, tjú en biðin gerir mig (leiðan) brot (hættan) sparka frá mér (og kall á) verð að fara (hjálp) tjú, tjú, tjú tjú, tjú, tjú tjú, tjú, tjú tjú, tjú, tjú, tjú ég spring út og friðurinn í loft upp (baðaður nýju ljósi ég græt og ég græt, aftengdur) ónýttur heili settur á brjóst og mataður af svefn-g-englum tjú, tjú, tjú tjú, tjú, tjú tjú |

2 posts | rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal This is a song that comes along and lasts forever in a moment of your imagination, easily taking you away to another point in time, a past memory or feeling you once had, very moving and rich in sound! I love it! |

6 posts | rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal I always used to say this song sounded like flying... and then a friend told me the translated name of it. Beautiful... this is the kind of song you could just melt away out of existence to and it would not hurt in the slightest... |

5 posts | rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal A question to the icelandic people. what does tjú mean? I understand much of the text because I'm from Iceland, but I stopped talking icelandic when i moved to Denmark. (; |

154 posts | rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal eep.. lol sorry wat am i saying? i just thought sigur ros' songs were all sung in 'hopelandic' im sorry, i am wrong =] saw the film clip for svefn-g-englar, untitled#1 and vidrar vel til loftarasa the other nite... pretty brilliant videos man =] ive seen their other 2 videos last year wen they first came out. talk about atmospheric! this video is strange in a beautiful way, and i agree with the person who said 'sigur ros' music isnt about understanding, its about interpretation' i think thats so true, well at least, for a non-icelandic speaking person. |

10 posts | i'm from iceland(and speak icelandic) and i understand this song.. it is in icelandic. i think only some of theyr songs are sung in a made up language.. |

3 posts | rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal no they sing in icelandic most of the time.. i speak icelandic and i understand every word in this song |

154 posts | actually, this isnt sung in icelandic.
it is sung in a made up language that sounds similar to icelandic, which of course wud be very hard to tell, considering the amount of people in here who probly dont speak icelandic. but this song is not actually sung in icelandic, none of their songs are. the title 'svefn-g-englar' is actually a play on words in icelandic. btw... their latest song 'glosoli'... if you know the meaning of 'glosoli' or 'glosoalia' it in fact means 'a faux language created similarly to an existing language to sound like this language, when in fact it is not that language' so theres some interesting information. |
