Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Du og eg
ein heile dag bak lste dr
me vet ka me har lyst t' gjr
og kossen me vil gjr det
Gode tid
dempa lys og hud mot hud
du og eg i all vr skrud
me e' s voksne at me tr det
h-h-h
to drevne i faget i ganske godt hold
h-h-h
dei treng' ikkje vin for mista kontroll
men det hjelpe p
s dei drikke n
S skjer det igjen
dei lure p kor me e hen
dei vil ha mat og gir oss skjenn
for at me har lst oss inne
Aldri fred f
me skynn' oss s n gr det fort
p et yeblikk s e det gjort
det e alltid ungane som vinne
h-h-h
ekspertar i gjr det med drlige tid
h-h-h
det har knapt begynt fr det brtt e forbi
dei kan s absolutt
bruka meir enn tre minutt




men det e kje ofta
det faktisk ganske sjelden

Overall Meaning

The song "Tre Minutt" by Bjørn Eidsvåg is a reflective piece about two lovers who have locked themselves away for an entire day behind closed doors. The lyrics describe their desire to spend that time together, doing whatever they please and enjoying each other's company. The verses are mostly about the joy and intimacy that comes with such closeness, while the chorus speaks about the outside world and how it intrudes on their private space. The couple in question are experienced in the art of love and don't need alcohol to lose control like many people might, but the pressures of life still come calling. The children in particular are mentioned as the ones who always seem to win, interrupting the couple's connection and reminding them of their responsibilities.


The use of repetition in the song highlights the rhythm and urgency of the situation. The "h-h-h" sounds that introduce each chorus and verse help to establish a steady beat, while also conveying a sense of anticipation for what's to come. The repeated mentions of time also emphasize the fleeting nature of their momentary bliss, as well as the pressure to make every second count. Throughout the lyrics, Eidsvåg expertly captures the complex emotions of love and desire, as well as the challenges that come with intimacy in a world that is often hostile to relationships.
