Sérdu rúmbudansinn duna nú,
Dönsum thví, ég og thú.
Svifum létt um gólfid til og frá,
Töfrabrá, logathrá.

Er thad draumur eda ert thú hér,
Enn í kvöld, einn med mér.
Armar thínir vekja ástarbál,
Unadsmál, eld í sál.

Dönsum saman uns dagurinn rís,
Thótt thu dyljist thví minnist ég thin.
Og thín hond leidir hond mína heim,
Ut í hamingjugeim.

Sérdu rúmbudansinn duna nú,
Dönsum thví, ég og thú.
Svifum létt um gólfid til og frá,
Töfrabrá, logathrá.

Er thad draumur eda ert thú hér,
Enn í kvöld, einn med mér.
Armar thínir vekja ástarbál,
Unadsmál, eld í sál.

Dönsum saman uns dagurinn rís,
Thótt thu dyljist thví minnist ég thin.
Og thín hond leidir hond mína heim,
Ut í hamingjugeim.

The lyrics (in English) are actually pretty cool and very appropriate to the Rhumba-esque tune. TO DANCE WITH YOU See the rumba drumming on, So lets dance, me and you glide easily around the floor to and fro Magic skin, fiery love...
hmmm...maybe, but to me it sounded more like the song 'Sway' Written by Norman Gimbel and Pablo Beltran Ruiz and memorable from when Jennifer Connelly lip syncs them in the movie "Dark City"...but you may be right...one Bjork rumba sounds just like another
 

It is the song "¿Quién será?", later known as "Sway", written by Luis Demetrio who then sold the rights to Pablo Beltran Ruiz.  Norman Gimbel wrote English lyrics for it and gave it the English title.  This is from an album of Bjork with and an Icelandic jazz trio, done as a side project while she was still with The Sugarcubes.

I like Bjork Bjork
Ever since the sugarcubes, and she has grown a lot since then, in a good way

A term of endearment I'm sure - I prefer to view her as eclectic - and I am a fan - but not so serious.

Translation, please on the song title?

Literally, I think it's "dance with me". But the song, as pointed out, is "Sway with me".

Translation:
To dance with you

See the rumba drumming on,
So lets dance, me and you
glide easily around the floor to and fro
Magic skin, fiery love.

Is it a dream, or are you here?
Still tonight, alone with me
Your arms light a lovefire
Pleasure, fire in the soul

Lets dance together until day rises
Even though you hide I remember you
And your hand leads my hand home
Out to a space of happiness

See the rumba drumming on,
So lets dance, me and you
glide easily around the floor to and fro
Magic skin, fiery love.

Is it a dream, or are you here?
Still tonight, alone with me
Your arms light a lovefire
Pleasure, fire in the soul

Lets dance together until day rises
Even though you hide I remember you
And your hand leads my hand home
Out to a space of happiness

(Thanks to Lyrics Cafe )

Me too... And I can't understand a word she's saying! Go figure...

Heehee. If you click on the AMG link, it searches on this string: BJ&F6RK. That's pretty much her.

I like Bjork-bjazz.

It's always good to have more jazz on the station. And what a refreshing thing... a standard in Icelandic!

Until I read your post I couldn't put my finger on the association I had with the song but you nailed it! Aud wrote:

I'll second that! I love her and this jazz album of hers is fabulous. Jazz in Icelandic! It always makes me happy and feel like moving.

Saw her on a show recently and it was remarkable how much she resembled a young Rosanne Barr. Imagine!

There are times -- now, for example -- when Björk's singing doesn't seem to bother me much at all. Wonder what that's about.

something about this song - phrasing, pacing? reminds me of Tom Waits - Jockey Full of Bourbon what a treat this morning - I've got to find this album. more Bjork, please!

Interesting rendition. This is infact the song Sway done her way. not bad though.
Posted 18 years ago by fortyonejb    [ Reply ]
Is this the sound of me throwing up glass on a crowd of pepole? Oh wait, no, it's Bjork's voice. Too bad I really like the piano or I could've rated it a 1.

Didn't know there were any Bjork albums (other than Sugarcubes) before Debut. Thanks for introducing me. Turns out she also had an album released in 1977 when she was 11. Went Platinum in Iceland. Who knew?

I think like the version of "Sway" by Dean Martin a tad better. The one with the "Ping!"'s at the start. Same melody. But this one's fun anyway.

No Gling-Glo is Bjork's origins. Big-Time Sensuality is the departure. This is great stuff.
Well I learned something new today... thanks. I've never heard anything of hers other then the Big-Time Sensuality style. This is very cool... first time hearing Icelandic too. 8)

Maybe it's because shes not singing in English. I find most of her stuff decent but this is definetly better.

i'm be willing to bet it's something along the lines of the Dean Martin original "Sway Me Now," only in Icelandic. of course, i could be wrong...
