Solsken efter regn
Berth Idoffs Lyrics

The lyrics to Berth Idoffs's song "Nere vid kusten" convey the feelings of someone who is infatuated with another person and will go to great lengths to get their attention. The first two lines reveal that the singer pretends to be invisible so as to avoid eye contact with the person they admire, but they also confess to going so far as to nearly drown in a pool just to have the object of their affection save them. This intense desire is further emphasized when the singer states that they stumble on the stairs just so the other person can catch them, and they resort to making spells to try to win them over.

The chorus repeats the sentiment that the singer just wants to play with the person they like. Despite all their efforts, they have yet to capture the other person's attention fully, as evidenced by the line "Tenho todos que quero" (I have everyone I want) followed by "Mas perco o ar quando te vejo" (But I lose my breath when I see you). The final stanza acknowledges their sense of inferiority to the other person, but affirms that they are not to be feared, only to be played with.

Overall, the song conveys a sense of longing and vulnerability, as the singer tries desperately to catch the attention of someone they admire.
