En säng av rosor
Darin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Halvfullt om du varit här
Dagarna går men vill aldrig ta slut
Önskar jag var där du är
Gatorna ekar av dig
Minnen som alltid finns där
Allting jag ser är en film om oss två
Jag ska göra en säng av rosor
Jag ska tända varenda ljus
Jag ska spela den musiken
som du alltid brukar sjunga
Jag ska göra en säng av rosor till dig
Stockholm är gråare nu
Sommaren gick allt för fort
Nu nalkas våren och snart är du här
Längtat mer än du nog trott
Jag ska göra en säng av rosor
Jag ska tända varenda ljus
Jag ska spela den musiken
som du alltid brukar sjunga
Jag ska göra en säng av rosor till dig
Saknar att fastna med blicken djupt i dina ögon
Den tryggaste plats i min ensamma värld, inga frågor
Med dig kan jag vara mig själv, behövs inga ord
Jag ska göra en säng av rosor
Jag ska tända varenda ljus
Jag ska spela den musiken
som du alltid brukar sjunga
Jag ska göra en säng av rosor
Jag ska tända varenda ljus
Jag ska spela den musiken
som du alltid brukar sjunga
Jag ska göra en säng av rosor
Jag ska göra en säng av rosor
Jag ska göra en säng av rosor till dig
The lyrics of Darin's song En säng av rosor express longing and yearning for someone who is not present. The singer feels a sense of emptiness and wishes this person were there to fill the void. The idea of time passing slowly, and the memories of the person being ever present are emphasized in the lines "Dagarna går men vill aldrig ta slut, Gatorna ekar av dig, Minnen som alltid finns där".
The chorus of the song, which is repeated several times throughout, expresses the singer's desire to create a romantic and beautiful space for the person he is longing for. He promises to make a bed of roses for them, light every candle, and play the music they always sing together. The chorus is repeated three times - the third time being slightly altered to "Jag ska göra en säng av rosor, Jag ska göra en säng av rosor till dig", emphasizing the singer’s determination and commitment to creating this romantic space for the person he misses so dearly.
Overall, the song is about longing, nostalgia, and a sense of missing someone deeply. It speaks to the desire to create a beautiful, romantic space for someone in order to show them how much they are cherished.

Glaset är halvtomt just nu
Feeling down and empty without you
Halvfullt om du varit här
My glass would be half full if you were near
Dagarna går men vill aldrig ta slut
The days drag on without you by my side
Önskar jag var där du är
Wishing I could be where you are
Gatorna ekar av dig
I hear your footsteps echo down the street
Minnen som alltid finns där
Memories of us are always present
Allting jag ser är en film om oss två
Every scene I see is a movie about us
Har fastnat i vår lilla värld
Stuck in our little world
Stockholm är gråare nu
Everything seems dull without you around
Sommaren gick allt för fort
Summer flew by too quickly
Nu nalkas våren och snart är du här
Spring is coming and soon you'll be here
Längtat mer än du nog trott
I've missed you more than you can imagine
Saknar att fastna med blicken djupt i dina ögon
Miss staring deep into your eyes
Den tryggaste plats i min ensamma värld, inga frågor
Being with you is the safest place in my lonely world, no questions asked
Med dig kan jag vara mig själv, behövs inga ord
With you, I can be myself, no words necessary
Jag ska göra en säng av rosor
I will make a bed of roses
Jag ska tända varenda ljus
I will light every candle
Jag ska spela den musiken som du alltid brukar sjunga
I will play the music you always sing
Jag ska göra en säng av rosor till dig
I will make a bed of roses for you

I don’t know French or German but I made an English translation. I saw a few other translations too but I tried to make mine as close to the Swedish lyrics as possible while still trying to have it make sense in English :)
The glass is half empty right now
Half full if you’d been here
The days go by but never seem to end
Wish I were where you are
The streets echo with you
Memories that are always there
Everything I see is a movie about us two
Have gotten stuck in our little world
I will make a bed of roses
I will light every candle
I will play that music, that you always used to sing (Whenever he sings this part it sounds like past tense to me, but the lyrics online are in present tense so I’m not a 100% sure)
I will make a bed of roses, for you
Stockholm is grayer now
The summer went by all too quickly
The spring is coming, and soon you’ll be here
(I’ve) yearned (for you) more than you’ve probably thought
I will make a bed of roses
I will light every candle
I will play that music, that you always used to sing
I will make a bed of roses, for you
Miss getting caught with (my) gaze deep in your eyes
The safest place in my lonely world, no questions
With you, I can be myself, no words are needed
I will make a bed of roses
I will light every candle
I will play that music, that you always used to sing
I will make a bed of roses
I will light every candle
I will play that music, that you always used to sing
I will make a bed of roses
I will make a bed of roses
I will make a bed of roses, for you

I am French and I have just discovered this wonderful song by Darin. I don't understand the lyrics but I am overcome with emotion every time I listen to it because Darin's voice is amazing, it envelops the heart. The Swedish language is very very beautiful!!! I will try to translate in French the lyrics of this song to imbibe it more. Darin's universe is magnificent...
