Hér er femínista útgáfa, allar sem eru að spila eru konur. Það fer í taugarnar á mér að allar útgáfur þessa lags sem ég þekkti voru með söngmenn :'))

Sink you, splendorous day into the embrace of the deeply still night. I remember you and your gentleness. In the silence my poem weeps.

Sink, splendorous day, and vanish into the world of dreams. Oh! That I too might vanish with you into the darkness and forget everything.

｡.:*・ﾞ♪♫♡♪♫・ﾞﾞ・*:.｡

Hníg þú, dýrlegur dagur í faðm djúpkyrrar nætur. Ég minnist þín og þinnar blíðu í þögninni ljóð mitt grætur.

Hníg þú, dýrlegi dagur, og hverf í draumanna heima. Ó, mætti ég aðeins með þér hverfa í myrkrið og öllu gleyma.

SHE TOOK DRAMATIC TO THE NEXT LEVEL AND WE ALL KNEW ONLY AN ICELANDER WAS GOING TO BE CAPABLE OF THIS AND IM CRYING ON SEVEN DIFFERENT LEVELS

“And those who were seen dancing  were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music.”

Reblogging this because I am hjörtun sem þjá í húmi and I had a terrible weekend

“Góða tungl um loft þú líður, ljúft við skýja silfur skaut. Eins og viljinn alvalds býður, eftir þinni vissu braut. Öllum þreyttum, ljós þitt ljáðu, læðstu um glugga sérhvern inn. Lát í húmi, hjörtun þjáðu. ———————————- Kind moon, you glide across the sky, sweetly at the silver lining. As the will of the almighty offers, according to your steady path. Lend all the tired ones your light, tiptoe in every window, But leave the suffering hearts in darkness.”

— Góða tungl, Steingrímur Thorsteinson

I saw this on Instagram and thought it was a funny dada kind of joke but 'your daily activities are highlighted in neon yellow paint for my eyes. the heart is colorblind.' has a heavy this-is-so-ikea-cheesy impact on my pour soul

I feel like this is common knowledge of every langblr but I've been having these revelations that

1. the studying of a language until i can read, speak or listen to stuff is actually a set timespan of at most a few years and that

2. I won't just lose one language while I'm learning another, because practicing a language I'm fluent in is fun (and not effort) by consuming books/shows/radio/etc, which concludes that

3. I have unlocked the brain capacity to make space for.. polyglottism

Nú skiptir máli hver þú ert

Lítið barn spila leikslokum En lífið er svona stutt Svarið sker þá á hálsinum Samúð löngu flutt

Og nú skiptir máli hver þú ert Kemst ei burt

Rauðar götur úr áfjáð stund Hrindi sprengingum Fjarlægðin felur alla sorg Fjarstýrum hengingum

Og nú skiptir máli hver þú ert Kemstu burt

Findu til Eins og vil Skjótu mig Svo eg finni til

Svo ung, svo ung, svo falleg En endalaust

translation: now it matters who you are

little child plays the end of the game but life is short like that the answer cuts then on the neck empathy long gone

and now it matters who you are you dont leave

red streets from happy hours pushed the detonations the distance hides all sorrow we telecontrol the hanging

and now it matters who you are go away

feel pain like grace shoot me so i’d feel pain

so young, so young, so beautiful but neverending

----------

i couldn’t find lyrics to this song anywhere so i figured them out myself, some of it might be wrong.
