its sung in 'Hopelandic' which im pretty sure is the lead singers made up language that he sometimes sings in. I thought it sounded so much like english i wrote down what i thought he was saying if he was singing in english and it came out like this:

You saw the whole You sighed oh no oh life You sighed all for You sighed oh no You sighed only should I- -I know I–love–you You saw no one for You don't know I would You… You don't love you You don't know, how could You don't know I would You… You don't know you

sweet, eh? kinda sums on the feeling of the song.

i don't know what he's saying...but this song is absolutly amazing.

my sis doesn't think so... but i think it sounds like he's saying "i love you" at least five times in the song. even though he's singing in hopelandic.

yup that's totally what it sounds like. my favorite part in the song is when it sounds like he's saying:

"i know... i--love--you..."

Andvari is a dwarf, I think, in Norse myth, who forges a cursed ring.

the end of this song is one of my favorite pieces of music from any band. the way the melody sweeps back and forth until it finally stops. it's a beautiful sound, it makes me think of rocking slowly to a peaceful sleep after a long, sorrow-filled day.

The song is beautiful. Like sortilequs it's the type of song to listen to after a long hard day, and you just drift to sleep with it.

Snogger's description is kind of cool. Makes you almost wish that is what was really sung.

Oh music, how I love thee

andvari also means zephyr

Yeah, Google Translate said it meant "breeze".

Snogger...

the ending of this song has got to have some of the most wonderful use of strings ever.. it totally envelopes me.
