One of the songs that makes me stiff from enjoyment is called Vísur Vatnsenda Rósu (The poems of Rósa from Vatnsendi, which happens to mean the end of the lake, which if I remember correctly, is the lake from which Elliðaá sprouts, or into which it runs. I went to Vatnsendi). It's so strong and Icelandic.

Augun þín og augun mín - My eyes and your eyes
Ó þeir fögru steinar - Oh these beautiful stones
Mitt var þitt og þitt var mitt - Mine was yours and yours was mine
Þú veist hvað ég meina - You know what I mean
Langt er síðan sá ég hann - (Long it has been since I saw him)
Sannlega fríður var hann - Truly fair he was
Allt sem prýða má einn mann - Everything which can make one beautiful
Mest af lýðum bar hann - Most of the people bore him
Þig ég trega manna mest - You're the one I want the most
Mætt af táraflóði - (I always understood this as something like 'the power of a flod of tears')
Að við hefðum aldrei sést - Oh, that we would have never seen eachother
Elsku vinurinn góði - Dearest of friend
My favorite song ever ever:

And then, somehow, this little video moves me everytime, a lot:

And Glósóli has made me cry more than once - but only with the video. It makes me regret not having been an Icelandic child, which is really something I regret.

So as you can see, mostly Icelandic things..
They are so strong that it moves me, it makes me strong.
Oh, although it's not a song, this video is sure to touch the hell out of me everytime:
