Skalds didn't vanish with the end of Old Norse era. They still live on the island in the Atlantic Ocean. They are still there... And they make music and they paint beautiful landscapes with their words.
This is incredible *-* As I noticed, last time you make more songs in English, but, guys, please, don't stop to sing in Icelandic, this language is the most beautiful on this planet, it is ancient and magnificent, but there are so small number of native speakers, which become less with time (and these native speak more on English). It just makes me sad :(
Here is my--admittedly imperfect--translation. I'm not completely confident of the last two lines of the refrain, but the rest is pretty straightforward. [0:11] Meðan jörðin sefur, While the earth sleeps, öll umlukin kyrrð og ró. all enveloped in stillness and peace. Vakir einn en dreymir þó One is awake yet dreams starir upp i ský. gazes up into the sky. [0:33] Huga sínum vefur He weaves his thoughts þétt um hjartans instu þtrá, tightly round his heart‘s deepest yearning að han megi henni hjá that he may in her arms hvíla enn á ný. rest yet again. [0:56] Hverfa svefns of vöku skil The line twixt sleep and wake vanishes hugur saman reyrir the mind binds together það sem er og veitir yl that which is and gives warmth og hitt sem ekki heyrir til. with that (other) which does not belong. [1:35] Hugarflugi gefur He gives his imagination lausan tauminn, gleymir sér free rein, loses himself frestar því sem erfitt er lets go of all troubles svífur upp i ský. soars into the sky. [2:11] Hverfa svefns of vöku skil The line twixt sleep and wake vansishes ...
While the earth sleeps (Rough translation) While the earth sleeps all surrounded by peace and tranquility awake but one dream though staring into the cloud. Mind their web sealing of the inner heart craving he can be with her rest again. Disappear sleep and waking Delivery mind together cane it is and provides yl and one that does not belong to. Brainstorm gives Unleashed, forget the suspends the hard fly into the cloud. Disappear sleep and waking Delivery mind together cane it is and provides yl and one that does not belong to.
I'm glad this song is still getting views today. It's one of my favorite pieces of theirs (that I've heard). And, quite frankly, the "iamthemorning" rework of this song is breathtaking to me.
Dude, almost nobody speaks icelandic. Which is unfortunate, as that language sounds super awesome and smooth, but I can't really justify learning it... maybe someday...

Lol you're acting as if Icish is a dying tongue.
It's not.
Hina Khan But it could easily become one.

Meðan jörðin sefur, While the earth sleeps,
öll umlukin kyrrð og ró. all enveloped in stillness and peace.
Vakir einn en dreymir þó One is awake yet dreams
starir upp i ský. gazes up into the sky.
[0:33]
Huga sínum vefur He weaves his thoughts
þétt um hjartans instu þtrá, tightly round his heart‘s deepest yearning
að han megi henni hjá that he may in her arms
hvíla enn á ný. rest yet again.
[0:56]
Hverfa svefns of vöku skil The line twixt sleep and wake vanishes
hugur saman reyrir the mind binds together
það sem er og veitir yl that which is and gives warmth
og hitt sem ekki heyrir til. with that (other) which does not belong.
[1:35]
Hugarflugi gefur He gives his imagination
lausan tauminn, gleymir sér free rein, loses himself
frestar því sem erfitt er lets go of all troubles
svífur upp i ský. soars into the sky.
[2:11]
Hverfa svefns of vöku skil The line twixt sleep and wake vansishes

Thank you for the translating. Such a beautiful song
I can’t pronounce the name of your group or understand the lyrics of this beautiful song, but the music speaks to me. Thank you.
While the earth sleeps
(Rough translation)
While the earth sleeps
all surrounded by peace and tranquility
awake but one dream though
staring into the cloud.
Mind their web
sealing of the inner heart craving
he can be with her
rest again.
Disappear sleep and waking Delivery
mind together cane
it is and provides yl
and one that does not belong to.
Brainstorm gives
Unleashed, forget the
suspends the hard
fly into the cloud.
Disappear sleep and waking Delivery
mind together cane
it is and provides yl
and one that does not belong to.
Greetings from Greece, Amazing music !

I don't have to understand it to know that it's beautiful.
I don't speak the language but these are very talented artists. Amazing.

Virkilega vandað, og textarnir þeirra eru vel samdir, íslenskri ljóðalist til sóma.
Beautiful arrangement. Thank you.
Simply beautiful!
this is like loving arms coming around me...
Beautiful....
Beautiful. Can't wait to see you next week at Castlefest. A new fan. I prefer the Icelandic. It sounds mystical ❤
You're so magical, I feel as if nothing is impossible thanks to your music :)
Good stuff! This would be best listened to on a grey winter day
hermosa música, que bueno que hubieran vídeos con subtitulo en español
Mér líkast tónlistin og ordin, en líka myndin. Fallegt.
I feel touched by your music, even though I don't know what the song is about. Great show with PoS and Anneke in London last month btw! :)
Очень красиво!!❤❤❤
loksins koma þeir til Þýskalands! Þeir syngja frábært!
I wanted to live in Scotland but now Iceland would be perfect!
Fallegt!
Incredible - anyone know what the song is about?
Mjög áhrifamikill! Mjög gott!
I LOVE YOU ... SO MARVELOUS
Is this a 'sad' song?
Great!
But 1 viewer has no sense of music.. :P
