It's sung in a made up language. Lots of the Sigur Ros songs are.

For you people who know the song, could you tell me if there's an english version of it?


Most of the dong is sung Icelandic althoough some parts are sung in a made up language (Hopelandic)

The lyrics in english are:

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

Aand 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



I hope that helps.

Hoppipolla is in Icelandic, not their made up language.

Brosandi Smiling
Hendumst í hringi Spinning round and round
Höldumst í hendur Holding hands
Allur heimurinn óskýr The whole world a blur
nema þú stendur But you are standing

Rennblautur Soaked
Allur rennvotur Completely drenched
Engin gúmmístígvél No rubber boots
Hlaupandi í okkur Running in us
Vill springa út úr skel Want to erupt from a shell

Vindurinn Wind in
og útilykt af hárinu þínu An outdoor smell of your hair
Ég lamdi eins fast og ég get I hit as fast as I could
með nefinu mínu with my nose

Hoppípolla Jump into puddles
engum stígvélum) (comepletely drenched)
(Allur rennvotur) (With no boots)
Rennblautur Soaked
engum stígvélum) (completely drenched)

Og ég blóðnasir And I get a nosebleed
En ég stend alltaf upp but I always get up

Við sjáumst tvö We see each other
Í sjálfum mér In myself

Og ég blóðnasir And I get a nosebleed
En ég stend alltaf upp but I always get up

Við sjáumst tvö We see each other
Hoppípolla Jump into puddles
If anyone can be bothered id be interested to find out what staralfur is about
