Help with pronouncing.

Hello!

I recently heard a Icelandic hymn called "Heyr himna smiður" and I would like to sing it with my friends. Is there someone here who would like to help me with the pronouncing? I live in Sweden btw. :)

Best regards,
Rasmus

if you can't find an Icelander in Sweden, I suggest checking out youtube. It's a very famous/popular song so there are many recordings.  Here's one where you can also read the translation.

(excellent choice- it's a beautiful song and very beloved to Icelanders who sing)

Thanks for the answer. It was actually from the second video you sent that I heard it for the first time, it's very beautiful.

The first video is perfect, it is very clear how it's supposed to be pronounced.

Thanks a lot!! :D
