Stolt siglir fleyið mitt is a song written by Gylfi Ægisson in 1981. Performed by Áhöfnin á Halastjörnunni (The Crew of the Comet) as a folky accordion laced song with a disco beat it takes on the classic subject of the fisherman's live, he who works at sea and fights his battles with the forces of nature every day for the rest of his life, all for his fatherland, Iceland.
