March 19, 201213 yr It's still lovely in English, and certainly not as jarring as some translations can be, but I was really hoping and expecting them to keep it in Icelandic - it adds far more to the mystery of the song. Agreed, it kind of kills the fantasy, Game Of Thronesish vibe I was getting off it :( Mostly on Gréta's part tbf :lol:
March 19, 201213 yr I prefer it in icelandic.....but I still love this version. I don't think it'll move much in my rankings.
March 19, 201213 yr This is excellent in English. I really like it in Icelandic, and I might prefer that from a musical point of view... but I can connect with it better in English. Should help it out quite nicely.
March 20, 201213 yr The song is still as amazing :wub: They got a better chance with the English version :) but damn, I knew the Icelandic lyrics, now I have to learn to sing it in English :lol:
March 20, 201213 yr Author but damn, I knew the Icelandic lyrics, now I have to learn to sing it in English :lol: Exactly :lol: I hate when this happens each year :(
March 21, 201213 yr I only listened to the original a couple of times but I prefer the English version by far. I can really feel the power now, being able to understand everything. Could easily see it finishing top 10 now, if not higher.
April 8, 201213 yr Why have I not seen these videos of Silvia Night until now? They are LEGENDARY! :lol: NVdf7KrevF0 731lhHMSmjk
April 14, 201213 yr Author Hugarró came THIRD, which was expected. NÜ DANNY! Magni got 16643 votes, Gréta & Jónsi got 18649 votes and Blár Ópal received 19366 votes! However due to expert jury giving Mundu Eftir Mér a 12 and Stattu Upp - only an 8, the former won! WOO.
