Undantag
Bo Kaspers Orkester Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
en turkisk film med lyckligt slut
Vi är en båt som slipper kryss
en punkt på din hals jag aldrig kysst
Du och jag
är vi ett annat slag
du och jag?
Vi är ett virus i en statistik
en sensation utan publik
Vi är ett tåg utan nån räls
som åker liksom hur som helst
Du och jag
är vi ett annat slag
är vi ett undantag
du och jag?
Var inte misstänksam
för vi kan nåt som ingen kan
ibland så når man ända fram
ända fram
ända fram
Du och jag
är vi ett annat slag
är vi ett undantag
du och jag?
Du och jag
är vi ett annat slag
är vi ett undantag
du och jag?
Du och jag
In Bo Kaspers Orkester's song Undantag, the lyrics express a sense of a unique bond between two individuals, who are like an exception in society. The first two lines compare their relationship to a night of silence and a happy ending in a Turkish film. The image of a boat that doesn't have to sail against the wind and a spot on the neck that has never been kissed shows that they have found a way to be in harmony with each other without any struggles or missed opportunities.
The following stanza refers to their uniqueness in society; they are like a virus in statistics, a sensation without an audience, and a train that moves without rails. These images suggest the idea that they are not defined by external factors or expectations, but rather have their own course in life.
The chorus repeatedly asks if they are a different kind of pair, if they are an exception. The last verse reassures that they have a special ability to reach their goals, and that they should not be suspicious of each other, but trust their connection.
In summary, the song expresses the idea of a bond between two people who are like an exception in society because they have found a way to be in harmony without struggles and external influences.

We are a night with a minute of silence
Turkish movie with happy ending
We are a boat that avoids cruises
A spot on your neck I never kissed
You and I
Are we a different species?
Are we an exception?
You and me, you and me?
We are a virus in a statistic
A sensation without an audience
We are a train without any rails
Which goes like no matter what
You and I
Are we a different species?
Are we an exception?
You and me, you and me, you and me?
Don't be suspicious
Because we can do something no one else can
Sometimes you get all the way there
All the way, all the way
You and I
Are we a different species?
Are we an exception?
You and me, you and me?
You and I
Are we a different species?
Are we an exception?
You and me, you and me, you and me?

Here is the english lyrics:
We are a night with a silent moment,
a turkish movie with a happy ending.
We are a boat who don't have to cruise.
A spot on your neck i've never kissed.
Ref: You and I,
are of another kind,
is an exception,
you and I you and I you and I.
We are a virus without statistics.
We are a sensation without a public.
We are a train without a rail,
that go sort of where ever.
Ref: You and I,
are of another kind,
is an exception,
you and I you and I you and I...
Don't be suspicious,
because we can something nobody can,
sometimes you still reach "there".

I was in Sweden back in 1999 (I'm an American) and I fell in love with this song and bought the CD. I was, and still am, mesmerized by Bo Kasper's Orkester. I still have no idea what the words mean, but the music speaks to me nonetheless.
