Unissasi laulelet
The Dø Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oksalla syntyi varpunen
Heräsin hetkeks, unissasi laulelet
Peilille näytit kasvosi
Ja peili hymyn heijasti
Lupasit laulaa kovempaa
Rakkauden pensaan istuttaa
Aurinko nousi hiipien
Oksalla syntyi varpunen
Heräsin hetkeks, unissasi laulelet
Tahditon tuuli kuiskasi
Korvaasi maailman ihmeitä
Levoton tuuli uteliaan korvaan
Meren pohjan salaisuudet paljasti
Aurinko nousi hiipien
Oksalla syntyi varpunen
Heräsin hetkeks, unissasi laulelet
Tarpeeksi kultaa löysit kait
Kyllästyit merten pohjiin kait
Äkkiä usva hallayöt
Toivat maan päälle ensi jäät
Vaalean aamun poskessa
Taas laulelet
The Dø's Unissasi Laulelet is a poetic and dreamy song. The lyrics describe a beautiful and peaceful scene of a sunrise with a bird singing on a tree branch. The singer is awakened by the dreamy singing and listens to it as if it was a lullaby. As the song progresses, the lyrics become more abstract and possibly metaphorical. The mirror is mentioned and the promise to sing louder and plant a love bush is made. The wind whispers mysteries of the world to the listener's ear, such as the secrets of the ocean's floor. The lyrics end by describing the return of the dreamy singing, as if the listener is returned to the peacefulness of the sunrise.
The song's atmosphere is dreamy, and the lyrics don't follow a regular structure. Every verse is different from the previous one. The words create beautiful and abstract images that are open to interpretation. The lyrics also seem to contrast the beauty and peacefulness of the sunrise with the mysteries and secrets of the world. Although the song might be challenging to decipher, it is undeniable that the beautiful melody and poetic lyrics create an entrancing and immersive experience.

Aurinko nousi hiipien
The sun rose quietly
Oksalla syntyi varpunen
A sparrow was born on a branch
Heräsin hetkeks, unissasi laulelet
I woke up briefly, you're singing in your sleep
Peilille näytit kasvosi
You showed your face to the mirror
Ja peili hymyn heijasti
And the mirror reflected back a smile
Lupasit laulaa kovempaa
You promised to sing louder
Rakkauden pensaan istuttaa
To plant a bush of love
Tahditon tuuli kuiskasi
The rhythmless wind whispered
Korvaasi maailman ihmeitä
Wonderful things of the world to your ear
Levoton tuuli uteliaan korvaan
The restless wind revealed the secrets of the sea floor to curious ears
Meren pohjan salaisuudet paljasti
Exposed the secrets of the ocean floor
Tarpeeksi kultaa löysit kait
You probably found enough gold
Kyllästyit merten pohjiin kait
You got tired of the ocean floor
Äkkiä usva hallayöt
Suddenly fog and frosty nights
Toivat maan päälle ensi jäät
Brought the first ice to the ground
Vaalean aamun poskessa
On the cheek of a light morning
Taas laulelet
You sing again
