I love our language and of course it would be fun to have it in Icelandic. But Svala originally wrote it in English and it was always meant to be in English. But because of the rules of the national final that the songs have to be in Icelandic she got Stefán Hilmarsson (Icelandic singer/ESC 1991) to write the Icelandic lyrics. She has explained that the song is about dealing with difficulties and struggles in life whatever they may be. She has been very open about her battle with anxiety and it's about the relationship she has with herself, not a romantic one. Everyone interprets music differently though, that's the beauty of it.
.please send the Icelandic version... It's way better... but sadly, they'll not listen and will still send the English version...when will they ever learn..
after reading your comm i was searching for the version in icelandic because i liked the english much and wanted to see how it sounded in icelandic, and you're right, the icelandic version is great . i'd have enjoyed it in the great ukrainian semi-finals' stage here it is: https ://youtu. be/J_vBrOeTfj0 iceland didn't pass and i was disappointed, because it was among my favorites

Love this song so much and the staging, but the Icelandic version is so stunning and mystical. Still, Iceland is in my top 10 once again

I hope one day...every country will send a song in their own language only....and believe me UK (or Australia) will not wins every year 😆
too bad she didn't pass to finals, 12 points from Croatia !
very good song :) me From Poland end me vote that song :)
I love this song. she should sing it in your language, not in english
The English version is not a translation. They need a better lyricist that speaks both languages. The Icelandic version is much better.
Loved it as well, but she should have gone full "Call Your Girlfriend" on that stage.
she looks like greta salome
i love the song, but her dance reminds me of Donny Montel last year...
Við komust ekki áfram im so sorry iceland :(
svala átu hima í Rykavik

The song is okay, but she makes it better because she has an interesting and recognizable voice
English or not. It'll definitely go through to the final. Really catchy n well sung. Hopefully the staging will be more impressive on the night tho
Erna was better :/ 😢
I'm getting sick of english versions pffffffffff
Trying to imitate Jamala?
