Romeo
Blå Øjne Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
der minder mig om Romeo og Julie
Den minder også om
hvor lidt du bruger din fantasi
I stedet for at grine
gør du livet til det allermest umulige
Det ender tragi-komisk
uden videre i melankoli
Der er en pestilens for dem
der har noget nyt at sige
Men Romeo
Vågner aldrig af drømmen
Står på balkonen
Romeo
Når Julie går med en anden hjem
Hvad hjælper det at vente
på en der længst er fløjet forbi dig
Jeg er sikker på at hun kendte
hver en tone i din melodi
Hvad hjælper dine sange
hvis de egentlig ikke har mere at give af
Signor Solo Mio
du er fanget i en maskepi
W. C. Fields
ville have forlangt en whisky
og et klart dementi
Men Romeo
Vågner aldrig af drømmen
Står på balkonen
Romeo
Når Julie går med en anden hjem
Der er noget ved denne scene
der minder mig om Romeo og Julie
Hvis ikke det var fordi -
det ligesom om der altså mangler en
Du styrter rundt alene
mens du rimer på det allermest uduelige
Der er ingen hjælp at hente
når suffløren holder feriefri
Så tæl til ti
Og hvis hun ikke venter i kulissen
er det sikkert forbi
Men Romeo
Vågner aldrig af drømmen
Står på balkonen
Romeo
Når Julie går med en anden hjem
For Romeo vågner aldrig af drømmen
står på balkonen
Romeo
Når Julie går med en anden hjem
Blå Øjne's song "Romeo" is a poignant and melancholic reflection on the theme of unrequited love, using the imagery of the classic love story of Romeo and Juliet to explore the painful emotions that come with loving someone who does not love you back. The singer of the song observes a scene that reminds him of the tragic tale of Romeo and Juliet, but also underscores the lack of imagination and creativity in the person he loves. Instead of laughing and enjoying life, she makes it miserable and impossible, leading to a tragic-comic and melancholic ending that is steeped in nostalgia.
The language of the song is highly poetic and metaphorical, with the singer drawing upon classical references like Signor Solo Mio and W.C. Fields to emphasize the sense of timelessness and universality of the emotions he is expressing. The song is structured around the refrain of "Romeo never wakes up from his dream / standing on the balcony / Romeo / when Julie goes home with someone else", which is a powerful image of the singer's hopelessness and despair. The final verse provides a stark reminder that sometimes, no matter how much we long and hope for love, it may not always be waiting in the wings, and we need to be prepared for that possibility.

It also reminds me of
hvor lidt du bruger din fantasi
how little you use your imagination
I stedet for at grine
Instead of laughing
gør du livet til det allermest umulige
you make life the most impossible
Det ender tragi-komisk
It ends in a tragic-comic way

Og nostalgi
And nostalgia
Der er en pestilens for dem
There is a plague for those
der har noget nyt at sige

Men Romeo
But Romeo
Vågner aldrig af drømmen
Never wakes up from the dream
Står på balkonen
Standing on the balcony
Når Julie går med en anden hjem
When Julie goes home with someone else
Hvad hjælper det at vente
What good does it do to wait
på en der længst er fløjet forbi dig
for someone who has long since flown past you
Jeg er sikker på at hun kendte
I'm sure she knew
hver en tone i din melodi
every tone in your melody
Hvad hjælper dine sange
What good do your songs do

Mister Solo Myself

ville have forlangt en whisky
would have asked for a whiskey
og et klart dementi
and a clear denial
Der er ingen hjælp at hente
There is no help to be found
når suffløren holder feriefri
when the prompter is on vacation
Så tæl til ti
So count to ten
Og hvis hun ikke venter i kulissen
And if she is not waiting in the wings
er det sikkert forbi
it's definitely over
For Romeo vågner aldrig af drømmen
Because Romeo never wakes up from the dream
står på balkonen
standing on the balcony
Når Julie går med en anden hjem
When Julie goes home with someone else
