Been using Spotify to see the popular Christmas songs across the world and I have to say Iceland is the best. So many gems, with this being the best. Merry Christmas
One of my absolutely favorite Christmas songs! Thanks a lot for sharing! I go to know this one in a Lucia party of the Scandinavian faculty in Tübingen some yeaes ago, and we had loooooots of fun :) Best greetings from Germany, soon we will be able to celebrate closely to each aother ag
The title of the song is "Jólahjól", which you could translate as "Yule Cycle" ("jól" is the same word as "yule", i.e. Christmas, and "hjól" is the same word as "wheel"). It's all about wondering whether one of the Christmas presents is, perchance, a "yule cycle", i.e. a motorcycle in this case, but really the motorcycle is just the chosen metaphor for an enquiry into values, making the song an existential treatise on the ideal state and cyclicality of the human condition, mixed with some Christmas cheer of course, which is all part and parcel of the existentialist theme and message.
@@pallhe Thanks for taking your time to actually explain this to me. Even tho I don't know the full meaning, I still rock this song, especially on Xmas!

Icelandic and English don't always translate well. But that's as close as it gets

I don't know how I ended up here but I'm glad I did. Could someone give me a quick translation of what they are saying?

Under Christmas, trees ride
Is a package
Under Christmas, trees ride
Is an awfully big package
in silver paper
And Mom and Dad secretly grinned at the fight
Should be a Christmas bike
This is supposed to be a Christmas bike
Should be a Christmas bike
This is supposed to be a Christmas bike
Out in the Christmas bike town, the clock strikes
outside in a Christmas bike town, the Christmas bike bell rings
I look out of the gray window
And Santa Claus is smiling behind a cloud
out in both
Should be a Christmas bike
This is supposed to be a Christmas bike
Should be a Christmas bike
This is supposed to be a Christmas bike
Mom and dad
be silent and do not want to say anything
Should be a Christmas bike
Hope this is now a Christmas bike
Hope this is now a Christmas bike
óóóójeeeee
