Utan dig så blir det ingen jul
Berth Idoffs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Men jag undrar om du vet hur jag mår
Att en jul i ensamhet blir en tid av evighet
För alla dom som saknar nån som du
Ser vår värld i rött och gull firar jul för kärleks skull
Känns svårt för den som saknar nån som du
Utan glädje har jag tänt första ljuset i advent
Ser vår värld i rött och gull firar jul för kärleks skull
Känns svårt för den som saknar nån som du
Utan glädje har jag tänt första ljuset i advent
För utan dig så blir det ingen jul
För utan dig så blir det ingen jul
The lyrics of Berth Idoffs's song "Utan dig så blir det ingen jul" (Without you, there will be no Christmas) reflect the feeling of emptiness and longing during the holiday season when someone dear is not present. The song portrays the singer standing alone, witnessing the approaching Christmas, and wondering if the other person is aware of the emotional pain they are experiencing.
The first verse expresses the loneliness and infinite sadness that accompanies spending Christmas alone. The line "Att en jul i ensamhet blir en tid av evighet" (A Christmas in solitude becomes a time of eternity) emphasizes the enduring and seemingly never-ending nature of this experience. It highlights the deep impact that the absence of the other person has on the singer during the holiday season.
The chorus further emphasizes the contrast between the joy and warmth of the festive season and the difficulty faced by those who are missing someone significant, like the person addressed in the song. The line "Ser vår värld i rött och gull firar jul för kärleks skull" (We see our world in red and gold celebrating Christmas for the sake of love) symbolizes the vibrant and joyful atmosphere of Christmas celebrations. However, it is difficult for those who are missing someone dear, like the addressed person.
The second verse continues to emphasize the absence of the other person. The line "Utan glädje har jag tänt första ljuset i advent" (Without joy, I have lit the first candle in advent) paints a picture of the singer going through the motions of celebrating Christmas, but without genuine happiness. The mention of advent, a time of anticipation and preparation for Christmas, further highlights the longing and yearning for the other person.
In the final repetition of the chorus and concluding line, the lyrics reiterate that without the presence of the other person, there will be no Christmas for the singer. This line captures the central theme of the song, emphasizing the importance of love and companionship during the holiday season. It portrays Christmas as a time of togetherness and emphasizes the deep impact of the absence of someone significant.
Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of longing, emptiness, and the longing for love and companionship during the holiday season. They highlight the contrast between the joyful atmosphere of Christmas celebrations and the emotional pain experienced by those who are missing someone dear.
