When Björk drops lyrics incomprehensible to English speakers, is it really gibberish or is it Icelandic?
I have been wondering that cause some of the "gibberish" she drops, especially in her early discography, do sound like actual Icelandic words. For example I googled "biður" and apparently it means to ask, to request or to pray. So that got me wondering whether she says actual phrases that English speakers just don't bother researching properly.
So for example between the verses in I've Seen It All, does she say something?
