Tunna skivor
Berth Idoffs Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Du sänder mej de vackraste tulpaner
och ber mej glömma allting från igår
Men jag har gråtit flera oceaner
och därför blir det svar som du nu får
De' ska va' tunna skivor av dej
föga hjälper nu dina böner
Och aldrig ska jag mer emot dej le
det ska va' tunna skivor av dej

Du trodde väl du skulle intressera
när du mej kränkte med ditt dubbelspel
Och flickan du försökte kurtisera
har redan ringt och erkänt sina fel
Hon skar visst tunna skivor av dej
lilla amatör-casanova
Och du ska inte tro jag ångrar mej
Jag vill ha tunna skivor av dej

Jag har visst lovat följa dej till landet
det är väl därför som du kommit hit
Och för att hålla ord när jag nu kan det
så åker jag väl med en liten bit
Så det blir tunna skivor chaufför
Du kan aldrig få mej att vackla




Och kyssarna du innan vi kör
är bara tunna skivor med smör

Overall Meaning

The song "Tunna skivor" by Berth Idoffs talks about a woman who receives tulips from someone who wants her to forget everything from yesterday. However, the woman has cried "several oceans" and therefore is not easily persuaded by words alone. She demands "tunna skivor", meaning "thin slices", from this person and explains that their prayers and attempts to win her over will not help. The woman is not impressed by the person who has tried to deceive her and is adamant that she wants "tunna skivor" from them as well. The woman has promised to go with this person to the countryside and now keeps her word, but only with the understanding that the person is nothing more than "tunna skivor" to her.


The lyrics of "Tunna skivor" suggest a woman who has been hurt or betrayed by someone and, while initially tempted by their advances, ultimately rejects them. The metaphors and imagery used in the song, such as "tunna skivor", "oceans of tears", and "ammateur Casanova", are effective in conveying the woman's feelings and experiences to the listener. The repetition of "tunna skivor" and the phrase's increasing significance throughout the song also adds to the overall impact of the lyrics.
