A note from an Icelandic folklorist. To clarify, this is a traditional Icelandic folk dance, but the song is a more modern version of the song. It's called "Á Sprengisandi" and is a old traditional song from Iceland. I recommend Árni Johsens version on Spotify, it is the closest that we sing it today. Also, the costumes worn in the video are not Icelandic, they are probably from Buenos Aires as the dancers seem to be.
This is a version by Icelandic band Ríó Tríó, it's from the 70's I think, they wear rather popular in Iceland around that time. If you want a more traditional version of the song I recommend Árni Johnsens version on Spotify, he sings it as most people do today (this is a popular kids song in Iceland).
