Hafsol
Sigur Rós Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Bakvið skýjaból vaknar sól úr dvala
Svalar sér við kalda dropa regnsins
Leikur sér við heita loga eldsins
Býr til regnboga
Talast á í örmun
Talast á

Bakvið skýjaból vaknar sól úr dvala
Svalar sér við kalda dropa regnsins
Leikur súr við heita mig langar að leita að
Býr til regnboga

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Sigur Rós’s ‘Hafsól’ talks about the beauty and awe-inspiring aspect of nature. The song speaks of a time when the sun wakes up from its slumber, emerging from behind the clouds, while the cool drops of rain refresh the surroundings. The contrast between the two polarizing elements of fire and ice is evident when the singer sings of how the sun plays with the flames of a burning fire, thus creating a beautiful rainbow. These lines signify how diverse nature is and how it alludes to the different journeys that life can take.

Greatly missed the time when all 4 of them were still together.

Dreamy 💫 today's best 8 minutes 29 seconds of life ❤

@SamuelGonzalez-rh2ij

These guys are so talented. I can't believe they only have 326k subscribers. This is the kind of music that should be recognized. What a song to start the day.

@crumbum666

Yeah that number is surprisingly low, huh? Weird. Maybe most Sigur Ros fans are too erudite to have a youtube account.

@timeravager

They have plenty of subs and are well known, now if we want almost everyone to know them... that´s another thing.

Of all the awesome stuff Sigur Ros have produced this is my all-time favourite. Fell in love with it the first time I heard it live many years ago now.

@csaba5415

Very well said! This one is one of my top 2 favourites from the band. What a build-up to an explosive culmination. To experience it live…
