Brosandi, Hendumst í hringi

That's from a song by Sigur Ros, they're a band from Iceland. The good news about Sigur Ros is that they're lyrics aren't apart of any formal language. What they sing is basically gibberish that they make up to go along with the music, it's called Hopelandic. So, what they say can mean anything you want it to mean.

It's a really inspiring song. It's way more about the music than the lyrics to me. But what it "says" to is about hope. With the future, and everything. Ethanol, girls. You know, I'd like to marry a girl one day, and do life with her, and follow the Lord, and be in love, and to grow to love the Lord more and more.

But I can't hope in that. I can only hope in Him. And that is enough for me. It is reason for hope in many things.

Now that I think about it, the song really does have to do way more with hope in general of good things to come rather than specific things.
