Hoppípolla Lyrics
Brosandi
Hendumst à hringi
Höldumst à hendur
Allur heimurinn óskýr
nema þú stendur
Rennblautur
Allur rennvotur
Engin gúmmÃstÃgvél
Hlaupandi à okkur ?
Vill springa út úr skel
Vindur Ã
og útilykt ? af hárinu þÃnu
Ég lamdi eins fast og ég get
með nefinu mÃnu
Hoppa à poll
à engum stÃgvélum
Allur rennvotur (rennblautur)
à engum stÃgvélum
Og ég fæ blóðnasir
En ég stend alltaf upp
(Hopelandic)
Og ég fæ blóðnasir
En ég stend alltaf upp
(Hopelandic)
Translation:
"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...
'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.=)

@crookedbrain it's not icelandic; the language is Hopelandic which is a completely made up language designed to imitate both English and Icelandic.

this song brings me to tears of happiness. it's soo amazing. really really much, hope inside.
It'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...
This is probably the happiest song in the universe
Omg.. I went on a concert with them yesterday (thei're touring around Iceland and every concert is free) I't was so awsome listening to them play this song! I'm still in shock :D
The 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.
im walking down the aisle to this song on october 25
When 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. ;]

that makes so much sense :)
and your comment is great lanesra, some true stuff ! :)
the 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.
