http://www.bjork.com/ Bjork performed MÓÐIR one time only, live at the Glastonberry festival in 1994, the NME stage was her venue on June 24-26'th.
~Moðir means Mother in Icelandic and other Norse languages. Although Björk says the song is sung in Icelandic, it is her characteristic gibberish style. There are several Icelandic words, but they do not make total grammatical sense.
~The Ultimate Intimate had a special on the song with an mp3 of the performance and a remix (by luticov) made using the live recording. This special crashed when the server died.
~At the beginning of the mp3 clip Bjork says, \"Thank you...ok we gonna uh *squeeze* in a new song now...and its sung in Icelandic, if that's helpful for you all.\"
~The name Moðir is was given by the guy who recorded the festival; there was not any björk reference or set list with its name on it. Film used in this video edit: Unknown and Björk's 'Play Dead' official video.
(English Lyrics for MÓÐIR)
MOTHER
My mother in the pen, pen
don't you worry for, for
I shall loan you these rags of mine
rags of mine to dance in
I shall loan you these rags of mine
rags of mine to dance in
MÓÐIR
Móðir mín í kví, kví
kvíddú ekki því, því
Ég skal ljá þér duluna mína
duluna mína að dansa í
Ég skal ljá þér duluna mína
duluna mína að dansa í
