Hello There
Basshunter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hallå där, vem är do som ler så fint mot mig?
Hello there, who are you who smiles so pretty at me?
Hallå där, kom närmre, snälla vänd din blick mot mig.
Hello there, come closer, please, turn your look ( eyes) on me
Jag vill känna hur do andas, hur do finns intill min kropp.
I want to feel how you breathe, how ( it is )having you next to my body
Jag ville röra din hud men då så kom det ett ljud som sa:
Hallå dax att vakna upp, vakna upp.
Hey, you, wake up, wake up
Varje dag är som en evighet, varje sekund ja det känns som ett år.
Each day is like eternity, each second I feel (is long as) a year
Men när jag ser dig I min dröm, ja då vet jag att det går.
But now (when) I can see you in my dream,then,yes I know, ( I?ll) do it
Å å å å går att hålla ut tills jag kommer hem till min säng,
Oh,oh,oh I?ll hold out (persereve) until I go home to my bed
För att sedan börja om och bli väckt på morgonen, snälla låt mig somna igen!
Because later(it) starts again and being awake in the morning,(I?ll) bag (you) :make me sleep again
Ensam så tvingar jag mig upp, det är då fan att det ska vara så svårt,
(I?m) Lonely so I force myself to get up,why the hell it is so hard
Men även om min tid står still så sjunger jag min låt som går;
But even if my time stands still I sing my tune( song, melody) that goes( like that)
Hallå där, vem är do som ler så fint mot mig?
Hello there, who are you who smiles so pretty at me?
Hallå där, kom närmre, snälla vänd din blick mot mig. Mot mig.
Hello there, come closer, please, turn your look ( eyes) on me.On me.

Hello there, who are you who smiles so pretty/nicely at me? Hello there,Turn your gaze on me I wanted to feel how you breathe, but then a voice came that said; "Hey you, Wake up, Wake up" He then goes on to say how he can't wait to dream and be with her again. This is a great love song, actually.
