O Tysta Ensamhet
Åsa Jinder Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

O tysta ensamhet
Var skall jag nöjen finna
Bland sorg som ingen vet
Skall mina dar försvinna
En börda tung som sten
Mig möter vart jag går
Bland tusen finns knappt en
Som kärlek rätt förstår

Det är den tyngsta sorg
Som jorden kunde bära
Att jag skall mista bort

Min hjärtans allra kära
Det är den tyngsta sorg
Som solen övergår
Att jag skall älska den
Som jag nu aldrig får
Jag såg ett litet lamm
Upp på den branta klippan
Och falska räven sprang
Men lammet ville leka
Men se det trogna lamm
Som nu narrat blev
Ja så är flickors lag
Att narra gossar med
Adjö min lilla vän
Jag önskar dig god lycka
Fast jag mång tårar fällt
På detta papperstycke
Den första vän som jag
I världen älskat har

Den sista blick ock du
Till dess jag läggs i grav

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Åsa Jinder's song O Tysta Ensamhet talk about loneliness and the feeling of being burdened with an overwhelming sadness that nobody understands. The singer is searching for joy amid all the sorrow, and she is struggling to find it. She mentions that wherever she goes, she encounters this heavy weight that follows her like a stone. She feels lost and alone, and among the thousands of people, she can hardly find anyone who understands the true meaning of love.

The song also highlights the singer's sadness over losing someone very dear to her heart, the heaviest sorrow that she has ever experienced. She compares this loss to the weight that the earth bears and the darkness that eclipses the sun. She acknowledges that she will never be able to love this person again, and the pain of not being able to see them or be with them is unbearable.

The lyrics also paint a picture of a little lamb who is trying to play on a steep cliff, and a deceitful fox who runs after it. The lamb is innocent and just wants to play, but the fox tricks it. The singer compares this naivety to the way girls sometimes deceive boys, and how even though she must say goodbye to this person, she wishes them good luck and loves them until she draws her last breath.
