Sigur Rós

I couldn't resist.












svefn-g-englar

ég er kominn aftur
inn í þig
það er svo gott að vera hér
en stoppa stutt við
ég flýt um í neðarsjávar hýði
á hóteli
beintengdur við rafmagnstöfluna
og nærist
tjú tjú
en biðin gerir mig leiðan
brot hættan sparka frá mér
og kall á - verð að fara - hjálp
ég spring út og friðurinn í loft upp
baðaður nýju ljósi
ég græt og ég græt - aftengdur
ónýttur heili settur á brjóst
og mataður af svefn-g-englum


EDIT:

Here's the translation as it was requested.



Im Here Again
Inside You
Its So Good Staying Here
But I Stay A Short While
I Float Around In Underwater Hibernation
In A Hotel
Connected To The Electricity Board
And Nourishing
Tyoowoohoo
But The Wait Makes Me Uneasy
I Kick The Fragility Away
And Shout I Have To Go - Help
I Explode Out And The Peace Is Gone
Bathed In New Light
I Cry And I Cry - Disconnected
A Ruined Brain Put On Breasts
And Fed By Sleepwalkers

They're icelanders, aren't they? The first time I heard them was a several months ago... In May, if I'm not mistaken. Their songs are very soothing.

Yes, they are from Iceland. Unfortunately I've only got to know them after the last gig they gave in Lisbon, so I'm waiting for the next one.
