I asked Aðalbjörn in person and he told me Fjara means "to fade away" like water fades away when it goes to low tide but also the way a person can fade away.

After I searched through (it felt like) half of the internet I thought "Beach" or "Tides" would be the best short translations for it. To be honest I threw a coin which one of these two shall be it. I just became annoyed after a while of searching for the right translation. Sorry for that. =)

@@Schwarzstern Fjara is an old Icelandic word. It actually means ebb tide. The time when the waters recede from high tide to low tide. It is commonly used as tide or low tide, but that is not the actual contextual meaning. It can be found in the Icelandic-English dictionary, based on the ms. collections of the late Richard Cleasby on page 156. The word can also mean foreshore or shore.

(linguist here) That's because the old Vikings travelled to Iceland and the British Isles a couple of centuries ago and left a huge footprint on language and culture. Most people don't know how much they ave actually influenced the language and that many word of the English language today are derived from Old Norse :)

Yeah, nothing like that, kitchen linguist. Both the english-saxons people and their language originally came from the netherlands/jutland, invading what was then a roman colony on the decline known as Albion and taking it for themselves (like the northmen tried to do a few centuries later). Over time it evolved into a separate language of its own, but the grammatical structure is basically still exactly the same as that of languages like dutch or swedish. Just different words and phonetics, and a huge latin imprint for english, more importantly so than in other germanic languages. But originally, these all come from the same ancient germanic tongue.

Also, while the "wall street english" and american accents now sound nothing like norse tongue, there are hundreds of different accents in England alone, some of which are reminiscent of it. In some parts of the country a guy from London might have trouble understanding what is being said, or wonder if the people there are speaking some swede dialect because some accents sound very similar to scandinavian languages.

I thought german was hard to learn but Icelandic is hard to pronounce great song btw

LOVE it , fuck YEAH Iceland \m/

Nice song, if I'm not mistaken the song is Icelandic.

Well, upgrading some walls.

Just wanted to mention that "ej" is spelled as ei.

I actually did. But I'm sorry to disappoint you if you expect a proving photo of me and the disc, because I'm not gonna send you one. I ripped off the music video audio because there's a special reason for it: The music video is viewed kinda often on KZread. Since KZread recommends the same/similar audio versions in the recommendations I wanted to use this one to get people to see my video. The translation from Icelandic to English wasn't thaaaaaat easy to do - just when you're looking about finding the "right" translation for the title - so I want people to see this. Above all - the actual album version is usually being blocked because of the copyrights. I'm a German guy. We have an institution called "GEMA" which rules about music copyrights. And it's a bitch in that business. So yeah. That's why I used the music video audio. Greetz

This is the furthest I will go Never the same again. The vile path calling me, the day I ran from life again. If I win, only this one time, it will still be the end of me. My belief that nothing ends well. This is the end for me. Day and night heart was uneased. Broken will frozen smile. Riding on, heart pumping tears. Day and night I walk alone. Bones rotting in the earth, like your secrets that you long kept from me. But blood weighs more than silence. Broken words, shards in your mouth, cut deeper than any wound. Broken vows will never be the same. Lies like the viper's bite

Ti distrugge.
