Sorte Sigøjner
Brothers Moving Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Da stoppede jeg op og kiggede mig i et spejl.
Stod så der og tænkte på alle livet løgne.
Der var så mange som de røde veje i mine øjne
Sorte Sigøjner tag min hånd,
Spå mig en fremtid så frodig ja og grøn
Sorte Sigøjner syng den sang
Nu skinner solen på den himmel så blå
Tænker du så på hvad det er vi skal nå.
Drømmen af i morgen og i går
Åh nej det er ikke der det foregår
Sorte Sigøjner tag min hånd,
Spå mig en fremtid så frodig ja og grøn
Sorte Sigøjner syng den sang
Omkring den kulde og den varme hele natten lang
Og i rendestene der lå jeg som lig
Og alle folk bare forbi
Kunne de bare gå der og tænke
At de slet ikke selv havde nogen lænke.
Sorte Sigøjner tag min hånd,
Spå mig en fremtid så frodig ja og grøn
Sorte Sigøjner syng den sang
Omkring den kulde og den varme hele natten lang
Frem som usselt kvæg der drives vi rundt
Og vi sparkes tit, ja der fanme ondt
Jorden folk er opdelt i stammer
Og det er de stærkeste der sætter livets rammer
Sorte Sigøjner tag min hånd,
Spå mig en fremtid så frodig ja og grøn
Sorte Sigøjner syng den sang
Omkring den kulde og den varme...
Omkring den kulde og den varme...
Omkring den kulde og den varme...
Omkring den kulde og den varme...
The lyrics to Brothers Moving's song Sorte Sigøjner describe a moment of reflection and contemplation for the singer, who is stopped in their tracks by the harsh and strong wind. Amidst this moment of stillness, the singer reflects on the many lies of life, so numerous that they are like the red roads in their eyes. The chorus then beckons to the Black Gypsy, or Sorte Sigøjner, asking him to take their hand and offer a future that is prosperous and green. The Black Gypsy is then implored to sing a song about the cold and warmth throughout the night.
As the song continues, the singer speaks of sunshine on the blue sky and muses on the dreams of yesterday and tomorrow. They realize that the present moment is what matters most, and the Black Gypsy is again asked to predict a future that is better than the past. As the song progresses, the lyrical narrative becomes increasingly critical of society's mistreatment of individuals, comparing them to cattle being herded around, kicked, and forced to hold to the rules set by the most powerful. Ultimately, the singer returns to the chorus's earlier call to the Black Gypsy, asking for a future that is vibrant and verdant, with the song's repetition underscoring its significance.

Translated Lyrics from Danish to English:
And one day when the wind was so harsh and steep
I stopped and looked at myself in a mirror
I stood there thinking about all the lies of life
There were so many like the red veins in my eyes
Black Gypsy, take my hand
Predict a future for me so lush and green
Black Gypsy, sing that song
About the cold and the warmth all through the night
Now the sun shines on that sky so blue
Do you think about what we're supposed to achieve?
The dream of tomorrow and yesterday
Oh no, it's not happening there
Black Gypsy, take my hand
Predict a future for me so lush and green
Black Gypsy, sing that song
About the cold and the warmth all through the night
And in the gutters, I lay there like a corpse
And all the people just passed by
Could they just walk by and think
That they themselves didn't have any chains?
Black Gypsy, take my hand
Predict a future for me so lush and green
Black Gypsy, sing that song
About the cold and the warmth all through the night
Driven around like wretched cattle
And we're often kicked, yes, it hurts like hell
The world, people are divided into tribes
And it's the strongest who set the boundaries of life
Black Gypsy, take my hand
Predict a future for me so lush and green
Black Gypsy, sing that song
About the cold and the warmth
About the cold and the warmth
About the cold and the warmth
About the cold and the warmth

And then one day when the wind was so hard and steep,
then I stopped and looked in a mirror.
So stood there and thought of all life lies.
There were as many as the red roads in my eyes
CHORUS
Black Gypsies take my hand,
predict me a future so lush yes and green
Black Gypsies sing that song
around the cold and the heat all night long
VERSE 2
Now the sun is shining in that sky so blue
then you think about what it is we need to achieve.
The dream of tomorrow and yesterday
Oh no that's not where it's going
CHORUS
Black Gypsies take my hand,
predict me a future so lush yes and green
Black Gypsies sing that song
around the cold and the heat all night long
VERSE 3
And in the gutter stones there I lay like a corpse
And all the people just passed by
Could they just go there and think
that they themselves had no chain at all.
CHORUS
Black Gypsies take my hand,
predict me a future so lush yes and green
Black Gypsies sing that song
around the cold and the heat all night long
VERSE 4
Forward like wretched cattle we are driven around
and we are often kicked, yes there is hell
earth people are divided into tribes
and it is the strongest who set the framework of life
CHORUS
Black Gypsies take my hand,
predict me a future so lush yes and green
Black Gypsies sing that song
around the cold and the heat ...
around the cold and the heat ...
around the cold and the heat ....
around the cold and the heat ...
