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 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
(Hopelandish)

Og ég fæ blóðnasir

En ég stend alltaf upp
(Hopelandish)

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.

Poças-de-pular

Sorrindo
Girando e girando na ciranda
De mãos dadas
O mundo inteiro é um borrão
Mas você fica de pé

Encharcado
Completamente ensopado
Sem botas de borracha
Escorrendo em nós?
Quero irromper deste envoltório!

Venta para dentro
E cheiro de ar livre? Do seu cabelo
Eu golpeio tão rápido quanto posso
Com meu nariz
Pulo numa poça
Sem usar botas
Completamente encharcado (ensopado)
Sem usar botas

E fico sangrando pelo nariz
Mas sempre me levanto
(Hopelandic)

E fico sangrando pelo nariz
Mas sempre me levanto
(Hopelandic)

Una bella melodía. Desde el primer momento que la escuché, me encantó. I love it.

Gunta Barina

I think this song deserves that the 'dislike' button would be removed. Love this song, love the spirit, love that its autumn (fall) and that its so relaxing and happy. Like it's Hoppipolla, you know? :)

Matt

Well said! :)

I'm also going to reply to this comment a decade later to say I agree

@Dauzlee The video probably got replaced with a HD version or the audio got replaced with better bitrate thus technically making it a new video but keeping the comments. At least that's my theory.
