Sigur Ros - What are they??

[Cinderella16]

Hiya, just wondering if anyone knows what country Sigur Ros is from / what language they speak. I want to get the lyrics translated.

Thanks in advance.

They are from Iceland, so it's sung in Icelandic but the singing on their third abum called "( )" or "Bracket" is sung in 'Hopelandic' which is not really a language, it's kind of gibberish which uses the singing as an instrument. I've only just got into them recently but I absolutly love everything i've heard by them!

This website has the translations to all of their songs:

Hope this helps!

Oh my god!!! You are a fan aren't you, how on earth did you know that.

Thanks anyway - will go away now and try and find out what they're singing about. Unless... you can tell me that too :)

No probs, happy to help!

Short of learning Icelandic anytime soon, i'm not too sure about what they are singing about, but i'm sure it's nice! lol
