Videre i Mig
Bjørnskov Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Prøver at spille hård
Men jeg er skræbelig ligesom glas
For stadig indeni
Er der en dreng på 10
Der er alene og forladt
3 år er gået nu
Men jeg mærker dig endnu
Selv når jeg går forbi
På gasvej nr. 9
Som om du aldrig
Tog af sted
Jeg fik at vide jeg skulle være far
Den dag da du tog herfra
Jeg bilder mig ind
At der er mere mellem himmel og jord
For han har dine øjne
Mor
Sommetider vågner jeg og ser
Og glemmer at du stadig ik er her
Jeg kan ikke skelne mellem drøm og virkelighed
Og selvom jeg ikke nåede at sige farvel
Så finder jeg en trøst alligevel
Så længe at jeg lever
Vil jeg altid huske dig
Så længe at jeg ved du lever
Videre i mig
Når solen den står højt
På Ejer Bavnehøj
Så ved jeg at du har det godt
Tænder et lys for dig
Hvisker jeg elsker dig
Fortæller dig om stort og småt
Hvis bare du kunne havde set det selv
Den dag vi sagde farvel
Det var så hjertefyldt og smukt
Det lød som engleklang
Da pigekoret sang og hvide blomster fyldte kirkens gulv
Jeg fik at hvide jeg skulle være far
Den dag da du tog herfra
Jeg bilder mig ind
At der er mere mellem himmel og jord
For han har dine øjne
Mor
Sommetider vågner jeg og ser
Og glemmer at du stadig ik er her
Jeg kan ikke skelne mellem drøm og virkelighed
Og selvom jeg ikke nåede at sige farvel
Så finder jeg en trøst alligevel
Så længe at jeg lever
Vil jeg altid huske dig
Så længe at jeg ved du lever
Videre i mig
Og selvom jeg ikke nåede at sige farvel
Så finder jeg en trøst alligevel
Så længe at jeg lever
Vil jeg altid huske dig
Så længe at jeg ved du lever
Videre i mig
The song "Videre i Mig" (Moving On In Me) by Bjørnskov is a moving tribute to a loved one who has passed away. The lyrics reveal the deep emotions of the singer who struggles to hide his tears, and despite his attempt to play hard, he is fragile like glass. The reference to the boy of 10 who is left alone and abandoned reveals the personal connection of Bjørnskov with the song. It appears that he lost someone close to him who he still feels around him, especially when he walks past Gasvej nr. 9, where the presence of the departed loved one lingers in his mind.
Bjørnskov shares that he was supposed to become a father on the day his loved one left, and he wonders if there is something more between heaven and earth, as his child has the same eyes as his mother. The singer seems to have been deeply moved by the loss of his loved one, and he reminds himself that as long as he lives, he will never forget her. The notion that the departed continues living in him is a powerful acknowledgment that he will forever carry the love and memories of his loved one.
Overall, "Videre i Mig" is a beautifully written song that speaks to the universal emotions of loss, love, and remembrance. The lyrics are deeply personal, and the melody creates a melancholy atmosphere that moves listeners to their core.

Jeg skjuler mine tårer
I hide my tears
Prøver at spille hård
Trying to play tough
Men jeg er skræbelig ligesom glas
But I am fragile like glass
For stadig indeni
Because still inside
Er der en dreng på 10
There is a 10-year-old boy
Der er alene og forladt
Who is alone and abandoned
3 år er gået nu
3 years have passed now
Men jeg mærker dig endnu
But I still feel you
Ja du er stadig ved min side
Yes, you are still by my side
Selv når jeg går forbi
Even when I pass by
På gasvej nr. 9
On Gasvej no. 9
Som om du aldrig
As if you never
Tog af sted
Left
Jeg fik at vide jeg skulle være far
I was told I would be a father
Den dag da du tog herfra
The day you left
Jeg bilder mig ind
I imagine
At der er mere mellem himmel og jord
That there is more between heaven and earth
For han har dine øjne
Because he has your eyes
Mor
Mother
Sommetider vågner jeg og ser
Sometimes I wake up and see
Og glemmer at du stadig ik er her
And forget that you are still not here
Jeg kan ikke skelne mellem drøm og virkelighed
I cannot distinguish between dream and reality
Og selvom jeg ikke nåede at sige farvel
And even though I didn't get to say goodbye
Så finder jeg en trøst alligevel
I still find comfort
Så længe at jeg lever
As long as I live
Vil jeg altid huske dig
I will always remember you
Når solen den står højt
When the sun is high
På Ejer Bavnehøj
On Ejer Bavnehøj
Så ved jeg at du har det godt
Then I know you are doing well
Tænder et lys for dig
I light a candle for you
Hvisker jeg elsker dig
I whisper I love you
Fortæller dig om stort og småt
I tell you about big and small things
Hvis bare du kunne havde set det selv
If only you could have seen it yourself
Den dag vi sagde farvel
The day we said goodbye
Det var så hjertefyldt og smukt
It was so heartfelt and beautiful
Det lød som engleklang
It sounded like angelic music
Da pigekoret sang og hvide blomster fyldte kirkens gulv
When the girls' choir sang and white flowers filled the church's floor
Og selvom jeg ikke nåede at sige farvel
And even though I didn't get to say goodbye
Så finder jeg en trøst alligevel
I still find comfort
Så længe at jeg lever
As long as I live
Vil jeg altid huske dig
I will always remember you
Videre i mig
Onwards in me
