A Snowy Song for a Snowy Day

Iceland pop collective Benni Hemm Hemmi knows snow. The song below, "Snjór ljós snjór" (translated: "Snow Light Snow"), captures the quiet calm that comes with falling snow, as well as that sense of barely contained excitement, making it the perfect song for a day like today.

Translated lyrics after the jump.

Snow light snow light
light snow light snow

Waves up the mountain and becomes a stone

Snow light snow light
light snow light snow

I can’t see a thing, I can’t see a thing
But I know that there is snow here
and I know that there is light here
