This is one of the best live sets I have ever seen on youtube, and I don't understand a word they are saying.

[@giorgiogiardini7665]

hahaha I agree with you

[@hearthisproductions7209]

I agree

[@jonv2911]

They are praying to the Lord Almighty.

[@hemis21112]

I regularly come back to this, not understanding a word

[@oddursb]

You don't have to understand the lyrics to enjoy the music.

[@badgervacuum]

who on earth knew Icelandic reggae was so powerful and unique?

[@ivarmarkusson382]

Hjalmar is one of my favorite bands! Discovered them thru their documentary making an album in Jamaica... I have no idea what they are saying but it really is beautiful music.

[@pablofg813]

[@RonaldKrux]

hace 10 años escuche esto y en 2022 sigue igual de brutal, maestros!

[@lightintheart]

At the end of the first song, it cracks me up when he says "thank you" and I mean it in a kind way! I think it's great cause it sounds so genuine with the fusion of his accent

[@MartinZinck]

Hjálmar a reggae band that knows how to make you dance, seen them twice. first time here in Nuuk in October 2012, and then at Airwaves '12

[@iamexistance2860]

[@chonches]

3:49 wicked... sounds like rico...

[@moonwalker4696]

so how do i pronounce their name is it as written Hjalmar or is the j silent or smthn? according to google translate its jelmarrr is that correct?

[@hroi]

"He-owl-mar"

[@ivarmarkusson382]

it means helmets.. :)

[@judworthh]

whats name of first song?

[@MartinZinck]

+Lukas Kubicina hljóðlega af stað is the name of the first song :-)

[@TheJeromyKedavra]

What's the name of the song in 11:11?

[@ganezg]

Til þín (Til thin); translation is For you

[@ellertingvi]

More like (to you) til þín

[@eadamic17]

@smellycat389 The "á" corresponds to the English sound "ow" as in "how", and all "j"s in Icelandic are pronounced as the "y" at the front of the English "yes". The band's name is therefore pronounced roughly "hyowlmar", with the emphasis on the first syllable.

[@ZeferinOregano]

@TheChrisCorgan Is there any other icelandic reggae band??? :)

[@chanctonbury63]

How many are there ??

[@brendadecora1719]

translate?

[@Jsntheory]

nice what a sweet contradiction. Wish I had translationsmellycat I kinda get yours but not regardless nice.

[@smellycat389]

can someone phonetically spell out the band's name? I've no idea how to say it.

[@durisrob]

what's the name of the first song?

[@jcmf10]

[@eyglo89]

[@hopemillington3842]
