Hunter
BjÃrk Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ooh
If travel is searching
And home has been found

I'm not stopping
I'm going hunting
I'm the hunter
I'll bring back the goods
But I don't know when

I thought I could organize freedom
How Scandinavian of me

En-cha-le-li
En-cha-le
You sussed it out, didn't you?
Yeah!

You could smell it
So you left me on my own
To complete the mission
Now I'm leaving it all behind

I'm going hunting
I'm the hunter, I'm the hunter
I'm going hunting
I'm the hunter, I'm the hunter
I'm the hunter, I'm the hunter




I'm the hunter
Ooh

Overall Meaning

The lyrics "If travel is searching and home has been found," suggests that the singer has been on a journey in search of something. It could be interpreted as a physical or emotional search for a place or a feeling that makes them feel at home. However, the singer is not content with settling and seeks to continue their search by going hunting. This demonstrates a restlessness and a desire for adventure.


The line "I thought I could organize freedom, how Scandinavian of me," is quite interesting as it references Björk's Icelandic background. The line suggests that the singer has a longing for freedom, but the Scandinavian reference also implies a sense of order and structure. It highlights the contrast between wanting to live freely and wanting to have control and organization.


The use of the phrase "en-cha-le-li" and "en-cha-le" in the song is also noteworthy. These are made up words that have no literal meaning, but they add to the overall feeling and atmosphere of the song. The repetition of these phrases creates a sense of hypnotism and ritual that contributes to the song's primal and primal energy.

Canción: Cazador

Para el capítulo 2 de Sins Of The Wreckers

Letra subtitulada por Google 😅

Si el viaje está buscando
Y a casa lo que se ha encontrado

No voy a parar

Voy a cazar
Yo soy el cazador
Traeré la mercancía de vuelta
Pero no sé cuándo

Pensé que podía organizar la libertad
Qué escandinavo de mi parte

(parte islandesa)
Elgar hann bidur eftir mer

(Parte desesperándica)
Hann puede

Lo has dicho, ¿no?

Podías olerlo
Así que me dejaste sola
Para completar la misión
Ahora lo dejo todo atrás

Voy a cazar
Yo soy el cazador

(¡Simplemente no me conocías!)

(¡Simplemente no me conocías!)
