Rökte spliff på våran uteplats
Italien, tomater från vår trädgård
Jag kunde höra barnen springa
Där i trappen
Vi är trötta, men vi är glada
Jävla ungar, men de är våra
Fan vad fina
En puss på pannan
Kom ihåg att du är bra
Aldrig trodde jag
Aldrig trodde jag
Att vi två skulle hamna här
Two runaways som alltid varit 100
Aldrig trodde jag
Aldrig trodde jag
Att vi två kunde sluta
Aldrig trodde jag
Att jag skulle gå
Vi skulle hängt med släkt i Finland
De kör rally, är poeter, i teatern, dör dramatiskt
Min morbror fick ett träd i huvet
Jag ville visa dig Granada
Cordobá och pappas mamma
Värsta divan
Vad vet de här om riktig svärta?
Om att leva
Så man nästan brinner upp?
Mitt i natten
Ska vi inte sova nu?
Aldrig trodde jag
Aldrig trodde jag
Att vi två skulle hamna här
Two runaways som alltid varit 100
Aldrig trodde jag
Aldrig trodde jag
Att vi två kunde sluta
Aldrig trodde jag
Att jag skulle gå
Aldrig
Aldrig
Oo-oh
Aldrig
Aldrig
Aldrig
Never, never, nej
Aldrig

Never, never, nej
Om jag blundar kan jag se det
Våran dotter
Ni håller handen
Hon är liten
Vad är tiden?
En annan linje
Och för evigt
Ska jag alltid älska dig
För att jag vill det
Ska jag alltid älska dig
The Swedish lyrics of Ana Diaz's song "100" tell the story of a couple who have grown old together, reminiscing about the past they shared. They remember smoking weed on their porch and eating tomatoes from their garden in Italy. They also recall the sound of their children running up and down the stairs and how tired, but happy, they were. They tease their children for not sleeping yet and remind them how much they love them.
The second verse talks about how the couple had always planned to travel and explore the world together, but never got to live out those dreams. The singer mentions her uncle getting hit by a tree and wanting to show her partner places like Granada and Cordoba in Spain. She asks what others know about "real darkness" and living life so intensely that it feels like you're going to burn up. The song ends with the singer imagining a future where she's holding hands with her partner, watching their daughter grow up, and promising to love them forever.
"100" is a heartwarming song about love enduring even when things don't turn out exactly how you planned. The lyrics are touching and evoke strong feelings of nostalgia, along with a sense of sadness for the experiences that the couple will never have. The song is a tribute to the power of love to sustain people through the ups and downs of life.

Jag kunde höra våra skratt när vi var gamla

I could hear the children running up the stairs. We are tired, but we are happy. Damn kids, but they are ours. They are so beautiful. Aren't they supposed to be sleeping soon?
En puss på pannan Kom ihåg att du är bra
A kiss on the forehead. Remember that you are great.

I never thought that we two would end up here: two runaways who always kept it 100. Never thought we'd quit, never thought I'd leave.

We should have hung out with relatives in Finland. They drive in rallies, write poetry, act dramatically, and my uncle got hit by a tree. I wanted to show you Granada, Cordoba, and my grandmother's house- she was such a character. What do they know about true darkness and living so hard that it feels like burning up? Shouldn't we go to bed in the middle of the night?
Aldrig Aldrig Oo-oh Aldrig Aldrig Aldrig Never, never, nej Aldrig Aldrig Oo-oh Aldrig Aldrig Aldrig Never, never, nej

The Overall Meaning is completely wrong. The song's not about an old couple reminiscing, it's about the singer telling her ex how all her visions of the future they would share together are gone. She never thought they would break up, she never thought she would leave. But she did. And all the wonderful things that they would share as they grew old together will never be.

Ana Diaz
I could hear our laughter when we were old
Smoked spliff on our patio
Italy, tomatoes from our garden
I could hear the children running
There on the stairs
We are tired, but we are happy
Damn kids, but they's ours
Damn precious
Are they not going to sleep soon?
A kiss on the forehead
Remember you are good
I never thought
I never thought
That the two of us would end up here
Two runaways that have always been 100
I never thought
I never thought
That the two of us could quit
I never thought
That I would go
We would hang out with relatives in Finland
They run rallies, are poets, in the theater, die dramatically
My uncle got a tree in his head
I wanted to show you Granada
Cordobá and dad's mom
Worst divan
What do they know about real blacks?
About living
So you almost burn up?
In the middle of the night
Shall we not sleep now?
I never thought
I never thought
That the two of us would end up here
Two runaways that have always been 100
I never thought
I never thought
That the two of us could quit
I never thought
That I would go

You hold your hand
She's small
What is the time?
Another line
And forever
I'll always love you
Because I want to
I'll always love you

Ana Diaz - 100 lyrics
Podía escuchar nuestra risa cuando éramos viejos
porro ahumado en nuestro patio
italia, tomates de nuestra huerta
pude escuchar a los niños corriendo
ahí en las escaleras
estamos cansados, pero felices.
malditos niños, pero son nuestros
muy bien
¿no se van a dormir pronto?
un beso en la frente
recuerda que eres bueno
nunca pensé
nunca pensé
que los dos acabaríamos aquí
dos fugitivos que siempre han sido 100
nunca pensé
nunca pensé
que los dos pudiéramos renunciar
nunca pensé
que yo iria
salíamos con familiares en finlandia
organizan mítines, son poetas, en el teatro, mueren dramáticamente
mi tio tiene un arbol en la cabeza
quería mostrarte granada
cordobá y la mamá de papá
peor divan
¿qué saben sobre los negros de verdad?
sobre vivir
¿así que casi te quemas?
en medio de la noche
¿no dormiremos ahora?
nunca pensé
nunca pensé
que los dos acabaríamos aquí
dos fugitivos que siempre han sido 100
nunca pensé
nunca pensé
que los dos pudiéramos renunciar
nunca pensé
que yo iria
nunca
nunca
oo-oh
nunca
nunca
nunca
nunca, nunca, no
nunca
nunca
oo-oh
nunca
nunca
nunca
nunca, nunca, no
si cierro los ojos puedo verlo
nuestra hija
tu tomas tu mano
ella es pequeña
¿qué hora es?
otra linea
y para siempre
siempre te amaré
porque yo quiero
siempre te amaré

I could hear our laughters
When we were old.
Smoked joint on our patio, Italy
Tomatoes from our garden
I could hear the children run there in the stairs
We are tired and we are happy
Bloody kids, but they are ours
God damn nice
Are they not going to sleep soon?
A kiss on the forehead
Remember you are good
I never thought
I never thought that we would end up here
Two runaways that always has been at 100
I never thought
I never thought that we two could end
I never thought that I would leave
We would have been hanging out with relatives in Finland
They drive rally’s,
Are poets at the theatre
Dies dramatically
My uncle got a tree in his head
I wanted to show you Granada
Cordoba and dad’s mom
Such a diva
What do they know about real darkness (pain)?
About living so that you almost become burnt out?
In the middle of the night
Are we not going to sleep now?
I never thought
I never thought that we would end up here
Two runaways that always has been at 100
I never thought
I never thought that we two could end
I never thought that I would leave
Never, never, ah- - -
Never, never, never, never, never, no
Never, never, ah- - -
Never, never, never, never, never, no
I can see it if I close my eyes
Our daughter
You two are holding each other’s hand
She’s young
What time is it?
Another (time)line
Oh, I’ll forever love
Because I want it
I’ll always love you
@mikaellavrell
Hur kan denna låt inte vara mer känd? En av de bästa svenska låtar jag hört.
@pattbjornbar65
Jag håller med dig! Det kan man lyssna 30 gånger. 🥰
@peterliden6313
Ja ,den är något väldigt speciellt 💯💯
@Narkos79
Helt enig. Så svårt fin
@mrsjaguar4561
Såg att låten förekommer på CD:n Absolute Music 89 så lite känd verkar den vara för dom flesta. Och efter att Lisa Nilsson tolkat låten i Så Mycket Bättre så klättrade även originalet av Ana upp på topplistorna minns jag. Sen vann hon även 2 Grammisar förra året och en av dom var för "Årets textförfattare" till albumet som denna låt förekommer på
@jenniferlowlejde6431
Tänk att en har missat denna fantastiska låt, texten träffar rakt in i hjärtat och drar sig långt in i själen. Tack för att du sätter ord på sådant man själv inte kan alltid. Du fantastiska människa - Ana! ❤️🙏
@perracarlsson4442
Så sårbart i mitt hjärta, blir till saknad av ett liv jag hade, men tack för allt du gav,,,,,,,,,,forever a piece of you,,,,,
@annajohansson3063
En av de absolut ackraste svenska låtar som nånsin gjorts ❤💔
