Translation of the song lyrics Hoppípolla - Sigur Rós

Hoppípolla (original)

Brosandi
Hendumst í hringi
Höldumst í hendur
Allur heimurinn óskýr
Nema þú stendur
Rennblautur
Allur rennvotur
Engin gúmmístígvél
Hlaupandi í okkur?
Vill springa út úr skel
Vindur í
Og útilykt af hárinu þínu
Ég lamdi eins fast og ég get
Með nefinu mínu
Hoppa í poll
Í engum stígvélum
Allur rennvotur (rennblautur)
Í engum stígvélum
Og ég fæ blóðnasir
En ég stend alltaf upp
Og ég fæ blóðnasir
En ég stend alltaf upp

Hoppípolla (translation)

Smiling,
We whirl, caught in our own eddy,
Fingers braided, the world’s rim slipping away—
All creation is gauze, vague in the dusk,
Except where you stand, sole and bright,
Rain-soaked,
Every fiber steeped by the downpour’s hand,
No galoshes shield us from the sodden earth,
Do you feel the storm racing through our veins?
Desire strains to break its shell and scatter,
The wind slides in,
And your hair holds the wild exhale of fields,
I strike, driving as fiercely as I am able,
With the bridge of my nose—
I leap into a puddle’s silver throat,
Bare-ankled, shod in nothing,
Soaked to the marrow (drenched to the soul),
Bare-ankled, shod in nothing,
And blood from my nose beads scarlet on my lip,
Yet always, I rise again,
And blood from my nose beads scarlet on my lip,
Yet always, I rise again
