Year of Silence

This has lyrics! - it's from the last verse of Inní Múr Syngur Vitleysingur by Sigur Rós.

In the original it is

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 er við aða, í burtu fara

but I think the general slowed down repeated bit cuts out most of it so it's just:

Illum látum, í faðmi grátum Þegar að við hittumst Þegar að við kyssumst

with other bits layered on top.

Translation:

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 waking 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

I love Sigur Ros! Noticed that right away

hahah same i knew it was sigur ros but i feel so much better now that i know for sure! i think this is really cool, i never thought about how sigur ros would sound remixed.

I KNEW THIS WAS FROM SIGUR ROS. Ugh I feel so relieved now knowing this has been verified haha. It was killing me.

What an odd mix.

I love this song - its so primal. Thanks for the translation - cool lyrics too!!

There's a short story by Kevin Brockmeier called The Year of Silence. Most likely unrelated, but just a tidbit of information I thought I'd share.
