Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I tell everyone that you're in love with me
Congratulations and celebrations
I want the world to know I'm happy as can be
Who could believe that I could be happy and contented
I used to think that happiness hadn't been invented
But that was in the bad old days before I met you
When I let you walk into my heart
When I tell everyone that you're in love with me
Congratulations and celebrations
I want the world to know I'm happy as can be
I was afraid that maybe you thought you were above me
That I was only fooling myself to think you'd love me
But then tonight you said you couldn't live without me
That 'round about me you wanted to stay
Congratulations and celebrations
When I tell everyone that you're in love with me
Congratulations and celebrations
I want the world to know I'm happy as can be
Congratulations and celebrations
When I tell everyone that you're in love with me
Congratulations and celebrations
I want the world to know I'm happy as can be
Congratulations and celebrations
When I tell everyone that you're in love with me
Congratulations and celebrations
I want the world to know I'm happy as can be
Congratulations
Brødrene Olsen's song "Congratulations" is a love song about finding happiness and contentment in a relationship. The lyrics convey an overwhelming sense of joy, as the singer exclaims "Congratulations and celebrations...I want the world to know I'm happy as can be." The song speaks of the singer's disbelief at finding love and of the moments that led to the realization that love can indeed bring happiness.
The first verse begins with "Congratulations and celebrations / When I tell everyone that you're in love with me." The singer is having a moment of joy, wanting to share the news with the whole world. The second verse reveals the singer's earlier fears and doubts about finding someone who could love them back. The line "I used to think that happiness hadn't been invented / But that was in the bad old days before I met you" captures the idea that love brought meaning and purpose to the singer's life. In the chorus, the singer expresses their desire to share their happiness with everyone, repeating "Congratulations and celebrations" several times.
The final verse brings the story full circle as the previously uncertain narrator finds confidence in their relationship. "But then tonight you said you couldn't live without me / That 'round about me you wanted to stay" conveys a sense of security, as the singer knows that their loved one wants to be with them forever. The song ends with the chorus repeated three more times, driving home the point that the singer is truly happy.
