Icelandic version of the song "Winter Wonderland", written by Felix William Bernard. Originally this was a romantic song set in the wintertime, however some lyrics were changed to make it more into a song about playing in the snow. The Icelandic version has a strong sense of nostalgia, about remembering the winter festivities.
lyrics
Ljósadýrð loftin gyllir
lítið hús yndi fyllir
og hugurinn heimleiðis leitar því æ
man ég þá er hátíð var í bæ.
Ungan dreng ljósin laða
litla snót geislum baðar
Ég man það svo lengi sem lifað ég fæ
lífið þá er hátíð var í bæ.
Hann fékk bók, en hún fékk nál og tvinna,
hönd í hönd þau leiddust kát og rjóð.
Sælli börn sjaldgæft er að finna
ég syng um þau mitt allra besta ljóð.
Söngur dvín svefnin hvetur,
systkin tvö geta' ei betur
er sofna hjá mömmu ég man þetta æ
man það þá er hátíð var í bæ.

PSA: if there was an album you heard a couple years ago and thought it was ok, listen to it again and you might love it.
That's what happened to me with this album. I cannot fathom why it didn't stick with me back then. Same thing happened with Decoherence's Unitarity for that matter. Matten
This band’s sound is close to ominous perfection in my ears. I’ve not heard many things like it, but I want more. Perfect cover song also. Metallurgical Fire
