Sigur Rós – Hoppípolla

General CommentTranslation:

"Jumping in Puddles"

Smiling
Spinning 'round and 'round
Holding hands
The whole world a blur
But you are standing
Soaked
Completely drenched
No rubber boots
Running in us
Want to erupt from a shell

Wind in
An outdoor smell of your hair
I hit as fast as I could
With my nose

Hopping into puddles
Completely drenched
Soaked
With no boots on

And I get nosebleed
But I always get up
(Hopelandic)

And I get nosebleed
But I always get up
(Hopelandic)





i really like this song... it's really pretty... it's one of those songs that'll make you happy when you want to be happy and sad when you want to be sad... if that makes any sense at all...

  I agree with you! I don't understand Icelandic, but this is probably the most beautiful band I've ever listened to. Thanks for the lyrics.=)

General CommentIt's funny because I don't understand a word he's saying, but i feel like i know the meaning of the song. The way the song is built. It's in the movie Children of Men which I can wait to see. It's probably a little bit because of the song...

General CommentThe lyrics translated to english sounds a bit funny, but if you watch the music video they make perfect sense.
The song is beautiful, with an equally beautiful music video.
I'm majoring in gerontology (caring for the elderly)
and the video for this song almost brought me to tears...seeing the elderly run around like young children again, regaining their youthful vigor and grace....absolutely beautiful.

Song MeaningWhen I hear this song all I picture, in terms of its meaning, is two lovers standing, oblivious to all the negativity that they are surrounded by - all they know is that as long as they have each other they can get through anything and everything life throws at them. This song is full of so much positivity and hope and everytime I hear it I'm filled with optimism and I burst into tears. I'll definately be walking down the aisle to this song...

"Brosandi
Hendumst I hringi
Holdumst I hendur....."

I think I'm gonna cry....

  Oh wow, I'm walking down the aisle to this song too! I'm so excited about it... my whole wedding pretty much revolves around this song... not that I'm even getting married anytime soon, haha. But still, I have it all planned out. ;]

General Commentthe lyrics translated sound a bit goofy but this song has so much hope embedded in it and it just makes me so happy every time i listen. Saw them do this one live and Jonsi played a semi-hollow bass so we had a 2-bass song and it was pretty fantastic.
