Ísjaki Lyrics

ÃžÃº vissir af mÃ©r
Ã‰g vissi af Ã¾Ã©r
ViÃ° vissum alltaf aÃ° Ã¾etta myndi enda
Ãžu missir af mÃ©r,
Ã‰g missi af Ã¾Ã©r
Missum bÃ¡Ã°a fÃ¦tur undan okkur
NÃº liggjum viÃ° Ã¡
Ã–ll ÃskÃ¶ld og blÃ¡
SkjÃ¡lfandi Ã¡ beinum, hÃ¡lfdauÃ°ir Ãºr kulda
Ãsjaki

ÃžÃº segir aldrei neitt, Ã¾Ãº ert Ãsjaki
ÃžÃº ert ÃsilagÃ°ur
ÃžÃº Ã¾egir Ã¾unnu hljÃ³Ã°i og felur Ã¾ig bakviÃ°
Ãsjaki

ÃžÃº segir aldrei neitt, Ã¾Ãº ert Ãsjaki
ÃžÃº ert ÃsilagÃ°ur
ÃžÃº Ã¾egir Ã¾unnu hljÃ³Ã°i og felur Ã¾ig bakviÃ°

ÃžÃº kveikir Ã mÃ©r,
Ã‰g kveiki Ã Ã¾Ã©r
NÃº kveikjum viÃ° bÃ¡l, brennisteinar
Loga
ÃžaÃ° neistar af mÃ©r,
ÃžaÃ° neistar af Ã¾Ã©r
Neistar af okkur, brennum upp til
Ã–sku

Ãsjaki

ÃžÃº segir aldrei neitt, Ã¾Ãº ert Ãsjaki
ÃžÃº ert ÃsilagÃ°ur
ÃžÃº Ã¾egir Ã¾unnu hljÃ³Ã°i og felur Ã¾ig bakviÃ°
Ãsjaki

ÃžÃº segir aldrei neitt, Ã¾Ãº ert Ãsjaki
ÃžÃº ert ÃsilagÃ°ur
ÃžÃº Ã¾egir Ã¾unnu hljÃ³Ã°i og felur Ã¾ig bakviÃ°

ÃžÃº segir aldrei neitt, Ã¾Ãº ert Ãsjaki
ÃžÃº ert ÃsilagÃ°ur
ÃžÃº Ã¾egir Ã¾unnu hljÃ³Ã°i og felur Ã¾ig bakviÃ°

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Cover art for Ísjaki lyrics by Sigur Rós

by L4atjuh

12y ago

You knew me I knew you We knew this all would end You missed me (note: in the way you missï»¿ a bus) I missed you We lost our footing Now we lie along the river all ice-cold and blue trembling to our bones half-dead from the cold Isjaki (iceberg)

Chorus:

You never say anything You're an iceberg you're frosted over you're as quiet as the grave and you hide yourself behind an iceberg x2

I kindled a fire within me I kindled a fire within you now we light a fire, sulfur, flame it sparks within me it sparks within you our sparks burn us up to ash

Ãsjaki iceberg

You never say anything You're an iceberg you're frosted over you're as quiet as the grave and you hide yourself behind an iceberg x2

(plucked together from youtube comments translating the lyric video on the Sigur RÃ³s channel)
