Hoppípolla
Sigur Rós Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Brosandi
Hendumst í hringi
Höldumst í hendur
Allur heimurinn óskýr
Nema þú stendur

Rennblautur
Allur rennvotur
Engin gúmmístígvél
Hlaupandi inn í okkur
Vill springa út úr skel

Vindurinn
Og útilykt af hárinu þínu
Ég anda eins fast og ég get
Með nefinu mínu

Hoppípolla
I engum stígvélum
Allur rennvotur (rennblautur)
I engum stígvélum

Og ég fæ blóðnasir
En ég stend alltaf upp
(Hopelandic)

Og ég fæ blóðnasir
Og ég stend alltaf upp

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Sigur Rós's song Hoppípolla describe a feeling of childlike wonder and joy, with a sense of connection to another person. The imagery of running through the rain without shoes and holding hands while the world is unclear except for the person standing next to them creates a feeling of purity and simplicity. Even though they are soaked and exhausted, they feel alive and want to burst out of their skin. The singer describes being so overcome with emotion, that he almost passes out, but he wants to keep jumping into puddles barefoot and feeling the wind in his hair.


The repetition of "og ég fæ blóðnasir, en ég stend alltaf upp" which translates to "and I get nosebleed, but I always stand up" in Hopelandish language, reinforces the idea of perseverance and resilience in the face of adversity. Life is not always easy, but the connection to another person and the experiences that make you feel alive are worth the risks and challenges.


Overall, Hoppípolla is a celebration of the pure joy and wonder that can be found in even the most mundane experiences when shared with someone you care about.
