[@Guddis123]

I'll give it a try :): ////////////////////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. /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Now, it has to be said that I don't know a word Icelandic. 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.

[@ZorroPlateado0]

If you look up the translation of these lyrics, you can see how beautiful their words are.

[@clay-pixels]

Beautiful, dreamy music made of Gods tears. My fav band since watching Vanilla Sky in 2001.

[@micro_my_blood]

Joshua Scott , one of my favs since Slumdog Millionaire!

[@gudgavormerlesson7312]

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 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.

[@SatanicJamnic]

When I hear Isjaki, I always smile. It's the most happy sound ever made.

[@dawidsc6267]

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!

[@johnnieuser]

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.

[@Petalflipper]

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.

[@prwexler]

In my next life, I wish to be born an Icelander.

[@SUPERWSXQAZ]

Then you should move to Iceland in this life (:

[@steffburton]

Why wait. Just move there

[@davidsolisbishop4969]

This song takes me to another world.. A very good one!

[@seriously0001]

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.

[@helenkeller93083]

I totally agree! Part of the experience is interpreting the song your own way.

[@JohnnyBoj89]

Sorry guys I am not that often online cause of work and family but i will upload lyrics tomorrow that is a promise :)

[@duncanwcraig9668]

Really, when they make songs like Isjaki, no one can touch them. They are out in their own universe.

Came back here after hearing it on the Iceland world cup episode in This Is Football series, forgot how much I loved this song 😭

[@reneprieto7564]

Yes!!! I am literally here because of that. I was going to ask who else has come from that series

[@Oh_I_Will]

Yea that’s so cool. Nope, not here from that “series”

This was great winter music. I suspect it should also be great spring music.

[@TheWizardYeof]

[@kieranprice167]

Jonsi's voice is literally the best instrument ever created.

[@RhiannonEiree]

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 :)

[@tinkythegreat]

Every time I listen to it, it gets better.

[@armandosantos4402]

the lyrics made me cry...so beautiful

[@Brecconable]

When I play this song I imagine a small ship leaving port and heading out across an angry yet glimmering sea

[@ABFellows]

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!

[@esracandarl2953]

This song is like a magic, like a dream. Cant stop listening to it.

[@gridhacker]

Brennisteinn was that balance between chaos and order, Isjaki is haunting. So far, so good, I think we're in for a treat!

[@qtip4ever]

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.

[@RunicDragons]

+kim bit This song is actually in Icelandic, though.

[@EuroFighter59]

fantastic...the favourite song of the album

[@joseelupien1835]

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.

[@ChrisAndAllThat]

[@sianiwarner81]

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.

[@cameeeel]

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?

[@mrSnotyify]

read the old sagas

[@crushthyflowerss]

Just as well as Swedish and Norwegian and Dannish and Finnish.

[@abbyvilayne]

***** 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.

[@crushthyflowerss]

I find swedish and norwegian very lovely. A dannish is so looked like the previous two!!

[@TheMrawesomesauce95]

There's a channel on KZbin called CoolIcelandicLessons, I'd recommend you check them out.

[@alisonomalley7934]

So much talent!!!

[@jordanslannan]

Agreed! And people say there is no good music anymore. There's a ton of it! You just have to look for it.

[@girigirisafe77777]

iceland, someone please take me there

[@neve1971]

Take me with you

[@MrHegemony]

Not only is their music absolutely beautiful, but NOBODY puts on a better live show.

[@ThatOneGuy7550]

I NEED ANOTHER ALBUM.

[@ClimaTermic]

You knew me I knew you We knew this all would end You lost me I lost you We lost our footing Now we lie along the river all ice-cold and blue trembling to our bones half-dead from the cold Iceberg You never say anything You’re an iceberg you’re frosted over you’re as quiet as the grave and you hide yourself behind an iceberg I kindled a fire within me I kindled a fire within you now we light a fire, sulfur, flame it sparks within me it sparks within you our sparks burn us up to ash iceberg

[@sjoerdvankampen484]

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.

[@bessykarin2467]

¡Magnífico!

[@southernhussy]

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!

[@ROSEJACKSONALICEA]

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.

[@FemcelFurio]

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

[@saylonee]

Best. Song. Ever.

[@corda93bg]

Simply beautiful!

[@evavillanueva9865]

this is a masterpiece....hands down

[@idkyetdou]

I think you're right. I will never doubt them again!

[@bluefoz]

That's the whole idea with their gibberish language "hopelandic" that they've implemented in a lot of their songs, but for the most of us (who don't speak Icelandic) the songs with an actual meaning has the same effect as the ones who feature Hopelandic. It also helps that Icelandic is an endlessly beautiful and dreamy language.

[@tindal65]

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!!!!!!!

[@ElijahTebbetts]

Glad to see that Valtari was the calm before the storm. This record is shaping up to be one of their best!

¡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

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.

[@nominonner]

No one creates music like they do. I'm amazed at how much ground this band covers, yet it always still sounds, quintessentially, like Sigur Ros. Just looking at the past 4 albums (including this one), Med Sud was so much different than Takk, then we got the beautifully restrained Valtari, and now this Kveikur, which seems to be Valtari's antithesis. I'm in love.
