För kärlekens skull
Danny Saucedo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Marken blir grön igen
Allt som var dött väcks till liv
Det kan också vi
Ute till havs styr en fiskebåt
Längs en fri horisont
Den gungar så tryggt in mot hamn
Så länge vi älskar
Åh, det är för oss solen går opp
Lyser som guld, för kärlekens skull
Åh, solen går opp så oskuldsfull
Lyser på oss för kärlekens skull
Högt på ett berg står en katedral
Och pekar upp mot skyn
Men det är för himlen i dig
Och jorden i mig
Vi älskar varandra
Åh, det är för oss solen går opp
Lyser som guld för kärlekens skull
Åh, solen går opp så oskuldsfull
Lyser på oss för kärlekens skull
Lyser på oss, för kärlekens skull
The lyrics of Danny Saucedo's song "För kärlekens skull" describe the power of love and its ability to bring life and light to the world around us. The beginning of the song depicts the arrival of spring, with the land turning green and coming back to life. The lyrics suggest that just as the natural world is reawakening, we too can be renewed by love. The second verse switches to a scene at sea, with a fishing boat returning to harbor. The boat's safe arrival is compared to the safety and comfort of being held in a loved one's arms. The chorus suggests that the sun rises specifically for the sake of love, shining gold and pure upon those who love each other. Finally, the lyrics speak to the grandiose nature of love, imagining a cathedral standing tall on a mountain as a symbol of the power of love between two people.
The lyrics of "För kärlekens skull" are poetic and symbolic, using the natural world to convey the beauty and strength of love. The contrast between the harshness of winter and the renewal of spring is used to suggest that love can bring us out of the darkness and into the light.
