Dansaðu vindur

"Dansaðu vindur" is a 2013 adaptation of the song and is interpreted by Eivør Pálsdóttir (alternatively Eivör Pálsdóttir) from the Faroe Islands. It uses the music of "Den vilda" with new lyrics in Icelandic. It became a hit in the winter of 2013 in Iceland. The single is taken from the 14-track Icelandic compilation album Frostrósir – Heyr himnasmiður with contributions by a number of well-known artists. [3]
