Bo Kaspers Orkester Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
jag har passerat nåt för länge sen
du kan göra vad du vill
du kan byta namn
fram till Köpenhamn
Sov min vän så kan vi prata sen
klockan den är redan fem på morgonen
tänka efter får du göra när du kommer fram
när du vaknat har vi kommit fram
fram till Köpenhamn
Norrlandskusten var så lång så lång
på radion pratade dom om dig och mig
och sen så spelade dom en gammal sång
om ett par som lämnat allting bakom sig
Sov min vän så kan vi prata sen
du kommer aldrig nån med sanningen
och gör vi det så gör vi det i ett annat land
när du vaknat har vi kommit fram
fram till Köpenhamn
The song "Köpenhamn" by Bo Kaspers Orkester talks about a journey to Copenhagen, Denmark, where the singer and his friend want to escape their problems and start anew. The lyrics are simple, yet deep and emotional, touching on themes of friendship, escapism, and the desire for a fresh start.
The first verse starts with the singer encouraging his friend to sleep and promises that they can talk later. He has already passed a point of no return, and his friend can do whatever he wants, even change his name. When he wakes up, they will have arrived in Copenhagen. The second verse repeats this message but mentions that it is already 5 AM, and his friend can think later when he arrives in Copenhagen.
The third verse mentions Norrlandskusten, a coastal area in northern Sweden, and how they talked about the couple's past and played an old song. The chorus repeats the previous verses' message, emphasizing that his friend will never find the truth and, if they want to do so, they should do it in another country.
Overall, "Köpenhamn" is a song that explores the desire to escape and start anew, running away from one's problems and seeking a better life, even if it means leaving everything behind. The lyrics are poetic, with a nostalgic and melancholic theme that resonates with anyone who has felt the need to leave their life behind and start anew.
