But I am Norwegian, so about half the words are very similar to some of ours. With a bit of imagination, and a little help of google translate, I came up with this. It's a very literal translation, and I have no idea how the grammar is supposed to be, but it seems rather meaningful to change from past tense after the first two verses. And the word on the end is improvised, because Jonsi sings something other than what is written. (I couldn't make it out.) Hope you like it, and greetings from Norway :)
Steered away from Sigur Rós for a few years after I discovered M83 and other 80's New Retro Wave artists. Thanks Spotify for reintroducing me to this magical and surreal band. Sigur Rós will be one of my favorites and will always have a special place in my heart.
Everytime I listen to this song I get such a strong feeling of happiness. I don’t understand how or why but everything in this song is beautiful yet eerie. No matter how many times I listen to this song I will always love it
This music (as most of their rest work) could easily be, mankind's message to any extra-terestial civilazation, possibly living out there, for "what is this thing, we call Music"...Biggest band ever lived on our "pale blue dot" in this vast universe ! Thank you for another Uniquely Unprecedented album ! Many thanks also, for releasing the LP yesterday, in Greece (it was a great and unexpected gift to hold the vinyl, earlier than awaited).Guð Blessi Sigur Rós! Takk Jónsi,Goggi,Orri &Kjarri, too!
I even don't know how can I describe the way how I love this song. The icelandic music is unique. And did you see the cover of the singel? Gosh... awsome... Icelandic perfection in 5:08 minutes!
You know who I am I know who you are We both knew that this would end You'll miss me I'll lose We will lose the ground beneath our feet Now we lie cream, blue, Shaking our bones, Half dead with cold Iceberg You never say anything You're an icicle Coated ice Keep silent and hide behind of an iceberg You never say anything You're an icicle Coated ice Keep silent and hide behind You you turn me I will turn on Now light a bonfire, burning sulfur Sparks fly me Sparks fly from you We let go of sparks, we become ashes Iceberg You never say anything You're an icicle Coated ice Keep silent and hide behind of an iceberg You never say anything You're an icicle Coated ice Keep silent and hide behind You never say anything You're an icicle Coated ice Keep silent and hide behind
***** Danish is probably the ugliest language in the world. Swedish and norwegian is not at all as beautiful as icelandic. Finnish doesn't sound anything like the other nordic languages, nor any other european as it's neither germanic nor latin language, though it sounds quite funny actually.
I discovered Sigur Ros about two years ago. I absolutely loved their unique sound that set them apart from anything I'd ever heard before. I love their older work, but this just blows my mind...there are no words... Sigur Ros never ceases to amaze me. So beautiful.
I'm speechless. When I saw Sigur Rós in Reykjavik last fall and I realized that Kjartan had left the band - I thought that the glory days of Sigur rós was over. I was not entirely convinced of the new single brennisteinn they played at the concert. But this song is absolutely mind blowing and I'm absolutely convinced that the new album will be totally incredible. I can't wait for the release! TAKK Sigur Rós! You have changed my life forever.
What I find great about Sigur Ros is that no matter how much they change around, they are always clearly Sigur Ros. I mean, Jonsi's distinct vocal style sorta helps that a lot, but even musically I feel that.
Thumbs up if you're avidly reading every single word even though you have no idea what they mean, because: Sigur Ros. I kind of like not knowing, though, it's part of the appeal,. You get to interptet it how ever you like. I especially like when the lyrics are in Hopelandic, because that gives the music an especially universal feel as no one really knows what what he sings in that made up language. Kind of like Michael Stipe did in R.E.M's earlier years.
I was in Maribor's MARS festival concerts, September 2012. Sigurs are blowing my mind since 2004. and I was completely trashed after seeing them alive... I have developed a whole new concept of loving my planet thanks to this music :)
I wish I could give your comment more than just one 'like' because you basically personified the very essence of how music impacts the soul. It goes well beyond what words can express. And I love you too. :)
Jonsi's voice sinks into a strong and colorful musicality. it does not put that sense of melancholy but still intimate, pure. One of the best songs of Sigur Ros in recent years. Dreaming. They always did this way. Something that can neither be reproduced nor copied.
I did that. Not exactly like that, but kind of. For 4 weeks I went to Iceland. I did some voluntary work in this isolated town to keep myself busy. This isolated town was 8 kilometres near the Arctic circle. But to get there we had to travel. We needed 3 days of travelling to the town from Reykjavik and 2 days to go back. I have seen so much, witnessed so many beautiful things. And I'm so happy I went to Iceland only because of this one song I once heard from Sigur Ros.
i complety igreed whit you and this song is great, im from Venezuela and is very dificult found music of sigur ros, thaks to youtube i can life one more day listing this great band
I like where they placed this song on the album, right after Hrafntinna, which always draws tears from my eyes when I hear it. Isjaki's lyrics aren't so joyful, but at least, it's beats cheer me up and ease me so I can listen to the rest of the album...which I absolutely love.
Amo esta cancion, es demasiado hermosa la letra. Que emocion de poder conocerlos, ya quisiera que llegue el dia que pueda verlos, hago todo lo posible por estar ahi ese dia. Es tan fascinante como sus canciones hasta las mas lentas puedan hacernos sentir bien, que esperabamos son Sigur Rós y ellos hacen arte con la música.
whats so nice is that every album sounds different,i cant understand people that want always the same album done over and over again....that cant be done,then the magic will be lost right away. those people are complete un-adventurous imo. this is yet another manifestation if sigur ros ......i love it and i make the journey with them!!!!!!!
This is just amazing. I'm stunned that they're still writing such perfectly beautiful music, so many years after starting. You'd think they'd run out of material
¡Encontré la letra en castellano! (spanish lyrics!) ÍSJAKI (ICEBERG) Tú sabías quién soy Yo sabía quién eres Los dos sabíamos que esto se acabaría Tú me vas a perder Yo te voy a perder Vamos a perder el suelo bajo nuestros pies Ahora yacemos helados, azules, Temblando nuestros huesos, Medio muertos de frío Iceberg Nunca dices nada Eres un témpano Recubierto de hielo Guardas silencio y te escondes detrás de un iceberg Nunca dices nada Eres un témpano Recubierto de hielo Guardas silencio y te escondes detrás Tú me enciendes Yo te enciendo Ahora encendemos una hoguera, arde el azufre Saltan chispas de mí Saltan chispas de ti Soltamos chispas, nos convertimos en cenizas Iceberg Nunca dices nada Eres un témpano Recubierto de hielo Guardas silencio y te escondes detrás de un iceberg Nunca dices nada Eres un témpano Recubierto de hielo Guardas silencio y te escondes detrás Nunca dices nada Eres un témpano Recubierto de hielo Guardas silencio y te escondes detrás
Ever since I started listening to Sigur Rós years ago, I've never "disliked" any of their music, but this feels like a return to the glory days and to what I love most about them. Great song!
I just cannot get enough of this. It completely takes me to another level..... Sigur Ros make me feel like anything is possible and that everything is magical........
jonsi is at peace with himself and it shows though his singing. he puts so much emotion in the songs and that kind of separates him from other singer and orri and goggi just complement that perfectly.
i love that this band is constantly trying new things. listening to this and valtari back to back, it barely sounds like the same band, but it's all still perfectly sigur ros.

////////////////////LYRICS/////////////////////////////
You knew of me,
I knew of you,
we always knew how this would end.
You missed me,
I missed you,
when we lost the ground beneath our feet.
Now we lie here,
all ice cold and blue,
bones shivering, half dead from cold.
(Iceberg)
You never say anything, you're an iceberg,
you are covered in ice,
you remain silent, hiding beneath.
(Iceberg)
You never say anything, you're an iceberg,
you are covered in ice,
you remain silent, hiding beneath.
You steer into me,
I steer into you,
Now we turn into (a) fire, alone and abandoned.
Sparks fly from me,
sparks fly from you,
sparks fly from us both,
burning until we become ashes.
(Iceberg)
You never say anything, you're an iceberg,
you are covered in ice,
you remain silent, hiding beneath.
(Iceberg)
You never say anything, you're an iceberg,
you are covered in ice,
you remain silent, hiding beneath.
You never say anything, you're an iceberg,
you are covered in ice,
you remain silent, always.

Thank uuu for lyrics ❤💙💚💛💜🖤
Tusen takk for oversetelsen din
Takk :)

You don't need to know what they're saying to think it's beautiful. That's what good music does.
good cause I have no clue what they are talking about
it's funny cause the lyrics are beautiful too
@@tactic2872 then please translate
@@williamsmith8041 Listen to Jamison Faulkner - Way Back When‼️‼️
.... or Cocteau Twins
I'm Polish and I really dont understand this Icelandic, but I feel on my skin, how beautiful this song is.
Same!
Ja też nie rozumiem ale moje serce, dusza i ciało rozumieją🥹🍀💚

If you look up the translation of these lyrics, you can see how beautiful their words are.
Hermoso, cuando voy a la universidad en el autobús me gusta escuchar esta canción y me levanta el ánimo de una manera extrañamente melancólica. :)

You know who I am
I know who you are
We both knew that this would end
You'll miss me
I'll lose
We will lose the ground beneath our feet
Now we lie cream, blue,
Shaking our bones,
Half dead with cold
Iceberg
You never say anything
You're an icicle
Coated ice
Keep silent and hide behind
of an iceberg
You never say anything
You're an icicle
Coated ice
Keep silent and hide behind
You you turn me
I will turn on
Now light a bonfire, burning sulfur
Sparks fly me
Sparks fly from you
We let go of sparks, we become ashes
Iceberg
You never say anything
You're an icicle
Coated ice
Keep silent and hide behind
of an iceberg
You never say anything
You're an icicle
Coated ice
Keep silent and hide behind
You never say anything
You're an icicle
Coated ice
Keep silent and hide behind
No disrespect but where does this translation come from, It really needs some work
I did not make it, I found it and copied it. I am sorry if it is wrong. Do you speak Icelandic?
Gunnar Örn Heiðdal I'd also appreciate a better translation if you have one.
Jonsi's lower range is just incredible as his high range. Simply stunning.
This was great winter music. I suspect it should also be great spring music.
Beautiful, dreamy music made of Gods tears. My fav band since watching Vanilla Sky in 2001.
Joshua Scott , one of my favs since Slumdog Millionaire!
Such a great song. Can´t stop listening to it.
i love them so much it hurts.
Used to listen to this every single night. Definitely a habit I should get back into..
This song takes me to another world.. A very good one!
Whatever they say in their songs, i don't care!
I just wanna hear the sound of beautiful music!
Sigur Ros is making my life full of meaning!
Icelandic is probably one of the most beautiful languages. Really want to learn it, I don't care how difficult it can be. Now, the question is, where?
read the old sagas
Just as well as Swedish and Norwegian and Dannish and Finnish.
***** Danish is probably the ugliest language in the world. Swedish and norwegian is not at all as beautiful as icelandic. Finnish doesn't sound anything like the other nordic languages, nor any other european as it's neither germanic nor latin language, though it sounds quite funny actually.
I find swedish and norwegian very lovely. A dannish is so looked like the previous two!!
There's a channel on TH-cam called CoolIcelandicLessons, I'd recommend you check them out.
I discovered Sigur Ros about two years ago. I absolutely loved their unique sound that set them apart from anything I'd ever heard before. I love their older work, but this just blows my mind...there are no words... Sigur Ros never ceases to amaze me. So beautiful.

Came back here after hearing it on the Iceland world cup episode in This Is Football series, forgot how much I loved this song 😭
Yes!!! I am literally here because of that. I was going to ask who else has come from that series
Yea that’s so cool. Nope, not here from that “series”
When I hear Isjaki, I always smile. It's the most happy sound ever made.
Really, when they make songs like Isjaki, no one can touch them. They are out in their own universe.
What I find great about Sigur Ros is that no matter how much they change around, they are always clearly Sigur Ros. I mean, Jonsi's distinct vocal style sorta helps that a lot, but even musically I feel that.
La voce di jonsi è incredibile, li ho visti in concerto a Jesolo, e sono grandiosi. Cantiamo tutti in islandese !!!
Thumbs up if you're avidly reading every single word even though you have no idea what they mean, because: Sigur Ros. I kind of like not knowing, though, it's part of the appeal,.

+kim bit This song is actually in Icelandic, though.
Great music arrangement. I guess when it comes to music, the language is no longer a barrier for us.

I wish I could give your comment more than just one 'like' because you basically personified the very essence of how music impacts the soul. It goes well beyond what words can express.
And I love you too. :)
I totally agree! Part of the experience is interpreting the song your own way.
A big hug from Dominican Republic!
Brennisteinn was that balance between chaos and order, Isjaki is haunting. So far, so good, I think we're in for a treat!
Jonsi's voice sinks into a strong and colorful musicality. it does not put that sense of melancholy but still intimate, pure. One of the best songs of Sigur Ros in recent years.
Dreaming. They always did this way. Something that can neither be reproduced nor copied.
This song is like a magic, like a dream. Cant stop listening to it.
Soy fan desde hace 10 años y nunca los he visto en vivo. Aún sigo esperando el día en que pueda hacerlo 😭 ya vengan pues!
de donde eres? porque a México han venido por lo.menos dos veces en.los.ultimos años
de donde eres amiga? de sudamerica?
ROSE J. si, sudamerica, Perú! :(
Ohhh :( entiendo :(
❤❤❤❤❤this band is HEART and SOUL DEEP
Every time I listen to it, it gets better.
Jonsi's voice is literally the best instrument ever created.
I don't understand how people are saying "it is alright" its amazing how they can change their music to be different from their old songs.
I did that. Not exactly like that, but kind of. For 4 weeks I went to Iceland. I did some voluntary work in this isolated town to keep myself busy. This isolated town was 8 kilometres near the Arctic circle. But to get there we had to travel. We needed 3 days of travelling to the town from Reykjavik and 2 days to go back. I have seen so much, witnessed so many beautiful things. And I'm so happy I went to Iceland only because of this one song I once heard from Sigur Ros.
ummm, so yeah, this song made my heart EXPLODE with emotion. ......In front of my friends! Not fair! Damn you Sigur Ros!!!
: )
To me "tak" is the best album of all time................it's always good to hear this band
the lyrics made me cry...so beautiful
I cannot stop listening to this!!
I really like the focus on the percussion and drum parts of the music.
i complety igreed whit you and this song is great, im from Venezuela and is very dificult found music of sigur ros, thaks to youtube i can life one more day listing this great band
fantastic...the favourite song of the album

Is there even a limit to how awesome Sigur Ros can be?!? I don't think so.

Thank you Sigur Rós, you guys changed my view on music.
this is a masterpiece....hands down
¡Encontré la letra en castellano! (spanish lyrics!)
ÍSJAKI (ICEBERG)
Tú sabías quién soy
Yo sabía quién eres
Los dos sabíamos que esto se acabaría
Tú me vas a perder
Yo te voy a perder
Vamos a perder el suelo bajo nuestros pies
Ahora yacemos helados, azules,
Temblando nuestros huesos,
Medio muertos de frío
Iceberg
Nunca dices nada
Eres un témpano
Recubierto de hielo
Guardas silencio y te escondes detrás
de un iceberg
Nunca dices nada
Eres un témpano
Recubierto de hielo
Guardas silencio y te escondes detrás
Tú me enciendes
Yo te enciendo
Ahora encendemos una hoguera, arde el azufre
Saltan chispas de mí
Saltan chispas de ti
Soltamos chispas, nos convertimos en cenizas
Iceberg
Nunca dices nada
Eres un témpano
Recubierto de hielo
Guardas silencio y te escondes detrás
de un iceberg
Nunca dices nada
Eres un témpano
Recubierto de hielo
Guardas silencio y te escondes detrás
Nunca dices nada
Eres un témpano
Recubierto de hielo
Guardas silencio y te escondes detrás
Graciaas :)
Gracias!!
5lulaa gracias !!
que bien gracias
Gracias
best band of all time. of all time.
Everyone is sad about no Kjartan (myself included). But the drummer in me is excited about how much more Orri there is in this album!!! So awesome!
Simply beautiful!
Agreed! And people say there is no good music anymore. There's a ton of it! You just have to look for it.
Ever since I started listening to Sigur Rós years ago, I've never "disliked" any of their music, but this feels like a return to the glory days and to what I love most about them. Great song!
Glad to see that Valtari was the calm before the storm. This record is shaping up to be one of their best!
In my next life, I wish to be born an Icelander.
Then you should move to Iceland in this life (:
frankly not everyone has the time or money to do that
So do I
Peter Wexler me too 🙋🏻♂️
Why wait. Just move there
I cannot stop listening to this.
Beautiful.
Not only is their music absolutely beautiful, but NOBODY puts on a better live show.
I'm in love. Thanks Sigur Ros.
From italy a big up for sigur ros! Amazing guys... this piece is so good
Ah yes- a lyrics video, which now makes everything they sing perfectly clear! ; )
MY GOD!! I LOVEED THEM!!!
I just cannot get enough of this. It completely takes me to another level..... Sigur Ros make me feel like anything is possible and that everything is magical........
So much talent!!!
I just don't know what to say. They, once again, blew my mind. I can't even describe the feeling I'm having right now.
I can't hear a thing they create without breaking out in chills. Seeing them in concert is an experience not to be missed if you ever get the chance!
dude yes, after the 1st play, I instantly hit replay. Too beautiful to reject another round.
I was there for the concert too, I agree with you that they have changed many people's life, even me.I was crying for whole concert
I love their music so much!! I just always wish I knew what they said. But their music is still beautiful!
jonsi is at peace with himself and it shows though his singing. he puts so much emotion in the songs and that kind of separates him from other singer and orri and goggi just complement that perfectly.
I was listening to this on my way home one rainy night. It was indescribable. This song is just breathtaking.
omg.. unspeakably beautiful.. Sigur Rós will be with me for the rest of my life :')
Sigur Ros are absolute gods.
i love that this band is constantly trying new things. listening to this and valtari back to back, it barely sounds like the same band, but it's all still perfectly sigur ros.
Sigur Rós is definitely one of my favorite bands of 2013.
Breathtaking song!
I don't know why it took me so long to listen to this album, but I'm glad it exists. I'm deeply inspired everytime I listen to anything by Sigur Ros.
Did the exact same thing. Anything from them never ceases to amaze me. Been my favorite band for 8 years strong. To years and beyond.
I thought Brennisteinn was an incredible song, but this is something else entirely. So stoked on the new album.
Don't understand a word of this song but it gives me goosebumps every time I listen to it ...
er ekki verið að grínast.....þvílíkt meistaraverk!
Helvetin hyvä kappale. One hell of a song.
i literally think this might be the greatest album of all time
I think you're right. I will never doubt them again!
Awesome, awesome, awesome!!!!! Can't wait for the album!!!!
