Á silfur á
Lýsir allan heiminn og augun blá
Skera stjörnuhiminn
Ég óska mér og loka nú augunum
Já, gerðu það, nú rætist það
Ó nei
Á stjörnuhraða
Inni í hjarta springur, flugvélarbrak
Ofan í jörðu syngur
Ég óska mér, og loka nú augunum
Já, gerðu það, lágfara dans
Allt gleymist í smá smá stund og rætist það
Opna augun
Ó nei
Minn besti vinur, hverju sem dynur
Ég kyngi tári og anda hári
Illum látum, í faðmi grátum
Þegar að við hittumst
Þegar að við kyssumst
Varirnar brenndu, höldumst í hendur
Ég sé þig vakinn
Ég sé þig nakinn
Inní mér syngur vitleysingur
Alltaf þið vaða, við hlaupum hraðar
Allt verður smærra, ég öskra hærra
Er erfiðara, í burtu fara
Minn besti vinur, hverju sem dynur
Illum látum, í faðmi grátum
Ég kyngi tári og anda hári
Þegar að við hittumst
Þegar að við kyssumst
Varirnar brenndu, höldumst í hendur
Ég sé þig vakinn
Ég sé þig nakinn
Inní mér syngur vitleysingur
[English Translation:]
On a silver river
Illuminating the whole world, and the blue eyes
Cut the starry sky
I make a wish and now close my eyes
Yes, do that, now it comes true
Oh no
At the speed of the stars
Inside the heart explodes, an air plane wreck
Sings inside the earth
I make a wish and now close my eyes
Yes, do that, a subtle dance
Everything is forgotten for a little while and comes true
Open the eyes
Oh no
My best friend, whatever happens
I swallow a tear, and breathe hair
Misbehaving, we cry in each other's arms
When we meet
When we kiss
Burn the lips, let's hold hands
I see you awaken
I see you naked
Inside of me a fool sings
Always you wade, we run faster
Everything becomes smaller, I scream louder
It's more difficult, going away
My best friend, whatever happens
Misbehaving, we cry in each other's arms
I swallow a tear and breathe hair
When we meet
When we kiss
Burn the lips, let's hold hands
I see you awaken
I see you naked
Within me a fool sings

Nekkid Icelandics on the album cover! A rare sight, or are they visiting Majorca?
By the way, I was good friends with an Icelandic couple in college many (many, many) years ago. They had different last names, and when I asked, they said her name was "Andresdottir" because she was the daughter of Andres. His name was "Mendelsson" because ... well you get it.

what language does jónsi sing in?
on von, ágætis byrjun and takk, jónsi sang most songs in icelandic but a few of the songs were sung in 'hopelandic'. all of the vocals ( ) are however in hopelandic. hopelandic (vonlenska in icelandic) is the 'invented language' in which jónsi sings before lyrics are written to the vocals. it's of course not an actual language by definition (no vocabulary, grammar, etc.), it's rather a form of gibberish vocals that fits to the music and acts as another instrument. jónsi likens it with what singers sometimes do when they've decided on the melody but haven't written the lyrics yet. many languages were considered to be used on ( ), including english, but they decided on hopelandic. hopelandic (vonlenska) got its name from first song which jónsi sang it on, hope (von). tracks 7-9 on takk are in hopelandic.

where can i find sigur rós lyrics and translations?
the lyrics to ágætis byrjun can be found in the lyrics section and (very rough) unofficial translations of them can be found in our elsewhere section. some lyrics to takk can be found on the takk section. you won't be able to find lyrics and translations from ( ) because the vocals don't contain lyrics

They used to use a made-up language they called "Hopelandic" in the spirit of using the voice as an instrument. For me this didn't hurt any, as I'm not exactly fluent in Icelandic, so I wouldn't be connecting with the lyrics anyway. I think they've recently changed to actual Icelandic, though I'm not sure with which album they made the change—not like I'd know the difference of course!
With really good music, I find I don't need lyrics to really "connect." There are even some songs where I can fully understand the incredibly lame lyrics within, but I like the song anyway (like just about everything by Lenny Kravitz).
My daughter tells me these guys have invited their own language and that what they are singing. I don't recognize the language so can't confirm. If this is true I can't think of a stranger thing to do and why a band would do this. Isn't part of song composition about connecting with the lyrics. knowlittlemeaboutthis.

This song is in Icelandic, but some of their earlier albums are sung in 'Hopelandic' (or 'Vonlenska'), their invented language.
I'd rate this a solid 0, if I could. Most annoying music on this station.

Bravo! I'm glad somebody said something. I thought us americans were suppose to be the crudest jerks on the planet - I don't know many that demonstrate their ugliness quite like that guy did.
I think a lot of people are confused when on Sigur Ros's site they talk about this made up language, but we are all somehow considered morons for actually believing it.
I don't know, next time I feel an urge to learn a new language or embrace a new culture - that one has fallen way down the list for me - too confusing!

Anyway, it doesn't matter to me where this group is from, or what language they're singing in, this music does nothing for me. In fact it's annoying. It sounds like it should be the soundtrack for The Wiggles Movie or an episode of Barney.

Powerful and moving. Sigur Ros brings a refreshing genius to the music scene. I love it that they sing in their native Icelandic (and Hopelandic) instead of kow-towing to the 'English Only' demands of the corporate music industry.
I just watched a program on Sundance Channel last night about Sigur Ros. Beautifully and brilliantly done, worth seeing if you get the chance.

For those who like Sigur Rós (as obviously there are some who don't): Have you heard the song "Starálfur" from the album "Agaetis Byrjun" Album? For me, it's simply the best Sigur Rós song. And even better: the live version on "Heim". Dream on...

Heh... best song title ever.
I'm not sure I'll ever really enjoy Sigur Ros, but at the very least, I'll always appreciate the originality.

Excelsior, I believe you get something out of bashing this. Alright, you made your point, you're entitled to, but I do believe that someone who uses something he despises to draw attention to himself finally discredits both the message and the messenger, and your incessant rants do just that. Your spider-sense should tell you that. It's probable I would not cross swords with you if I didn't like Sigur Ros, but it's not that I take it as a personal offence. It's just that I use this board to share info with fellow listeners that enhance my musical experience and your incessant puke flooding is simply killing the board.

This gets my vote for most annoying song this week.....make that this month.
Sounds good. Look forward to receiving the CD in the mail from amazon.ca any day now.
I see the usual band of narrow-minded knuckle-draggers are contributing.
Owsley would have been proud! More sigur ros!

I have my reservations about the whole Coldplay/Death Cab/Sigur Ros orbit, but given the rather strong reactions to this one song, it's probably a good time to mention again that I still have never heard a bad song on Radio Paradise. Chill, people. It's just rock'n'roll.

Well, I almost believe that is a translation of Hopelandic. The kind of lyrics from a band that can compose but don't know what to say!

Já gerðu það, nú rætist saga

Inni í hjarta springur, flugvélarbrak

Já gerðu það, lágfara dans
Allt gleymist í smásmá stund og rætist samt

Minn besti vinur hverju sem dynur
Ég kyngi tári og anda hári
Illum látum, í faðmi grátum
Þegar að við hittumst
Þegar að við kyssumst
Varirnar brenndu, höldumst í hendur
Ég sé þig vakinn
Ég sé þig nakinn
Inní mér syngur vitleysingur
Alltaf þið vaða, við hlaupum hraðar
Allt verður smærra
Ég öskra hærra

Here's a translation of the lyrics. Pretty cool.
Inside me a lunatic sings
On a silver river
You illuminate the whole world and blue eyes
Cut the starry sky
I make a wish and close my eyes
Yes do that, now begins the story
Oh no
At lightspeed
Inside a heart explodes, an airplane crash
Down on the earth sings
I make a wish and close my eyes
Yes do that, a silly dance
All is forgotten in very little time and yet begins
Open eyes
Oh no
My best friend no matter whatever happens
I swallow tears and breathe hair
A bad break, we cry in each other arms
When we meet
When we kiss
The lips burning, we hold hands
I see you wake
I see you naked
Inside me a lunatic sings
Always rushing, we run quickly
Everything becomes smaller
I scream louder
I'm with a shell, going away
My best friend no matter whatever happens
A bad break, we cry in each others arms
I swallow tears and breathe hair
When we meet
When we kiss
The lips burning, we hold hands
I see you wake
I see you naked

For those who like Sigur Rós (as obviously there are some who don't): Have you heard the song "Starálfur" from the album "Agaetis Byrjun" Album? For me, it's simply the best Sigur Rós song. And even better: the live version on "Heim". Dream on...

I always think that the test of a good band is weather you get a real buzz from a gig when you are not familiar with any of the music. I only knew a couple of tracks and I thought they were superb.
was at latitude and decided not to watch them, but this song is pretty good, so maybe I should have stayed to see them.

Far from loving these guys, but this track is much more listenable than their hopelandish stuff.
Hipsters be damned. It's a 4 from the Uppsala Jury ;)
Half of this song consists of him whining the same crappy 3-note, 4-bar sequence over and over and over again.

They can sing in whatever language they want, more power to them. However, I'm pointing out that most of the critical acclaim from hipster doofuses is due to the fact that it isn't English (bonus points for it being a relatively "obscure" language). The made-up language, however, is just a gimmick, albeit one that works 10x better than the real language. The more obscure and strange the band is, the more hipster street cred you get for liking them.
If this band was singing the exact same songs in English, they would never cross the trendsetters' collective radar, and you'd find their CDs sitting where they belong - gathering dust at the bottom of the $2 "bargain buy" bin.

But because they're singing half-Icelandic, half-made-up-Hopelandic, it's trendy to like them.

I went to Iceland expecting to hear bands like this on the radio. Instead I heard folks like Tom Waits and David Gray. Go figure.
