Hvis
Dina Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Smilende speil
Med brister og feil
Ser at barnet har blitt til en mann
Gudene gav meg en underlig sjel
Som sliter med motet i blant
Men du og jeg
Har kommet et stykke på vei
Ta bort alle ord
Du vet hva jeg mener
Hvis du var et hav var jeg en elv
Hvis du var himmelen skulle jeg hatt vinger
Hvis du var regn hadde jeg vært hav og land
Hvis du var musikk var jeg en sang
Hvis du var viddene ville jeg vært vinden
Men fantes ikke du hadde jeg ikke vært noen ting
Na na...
Kom, kom min elskede
Månen er stor
Alle vindu'r er åpne i natt
Åpn opp mot verden der kjærlighet bor
Bare kom hold meg våken i natt
Vi er her
Er tiden som går
Du er nær
Vi gjør det igjen når solen står opp, åhh
Hvis du var et hav var jeg en elv
Hvis du var himmelen skulle jeg hatt vinger
Hvis du var regn hadde jeg vært hav og land
Hvis du var musikk var jeg en sang
Hvis du var viddene ville jeg vært vinden
Men fantes ikke du hadde jeg ikke vært noen ting
Na na...
Hvis du var et hav var jeg en elv
Hvis du var himmelen skulle jeg hatt vinger
Hvis du var regn hadde jeg vært hav og land
Hvis du var musikk var jeg en sang
Hvis du var viddene ville jeg vært vinden




Men fantes ikke du hadde jeg ikke vært noen ting

Overall Meaning

The song "Hvis" by Dina is a lovely ballad with heartfelt emotions and beautiful lyrics. The first verse talks about a smiling mirror that shows the singer has grown into a man with flaws and shortcomings. The second line mentions a strange soul that struggles with courage sometimes. However, despite these challenges, the singer and their lover have come a long way, and they know what each other means without words. The chorus of the song is a series of hypotheticals that show the singer's affection towards their lover. They say if their love were a sea, they would be a river flowing into it. If their love were the sky, the singer would have wings to fly. If their love were rain, the singer would be land and sea. If their love were music, the singer would be a song. If their love were the wilderness, the singer would be the wind. However, the singer acknowledges that without their lover, they would be nothing.


The second verse describes the present moment, where the moon is full, and all the windows are open. The singer invites their lover to come and hold them all night long, and they will stay awake together. They remark that time is passing, but their lover is near, and they will repeat this beautiful experience when the sun comes up. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus, emphasizing the singer's profound love for their partner.


Overall, "Hvis" is a touching song about love, companionship, and the desire to be with someone forever. The lyrics are simple yet powerful, and Dina's beautiful voice adds to the emotion of the song. The hypothetical situations in the chorus highlights the depth of the singer's love for her partner and how they would be incomplete without them.

Hvis der ikke er andre som vil skrive - så er det mig en glæde at være den første. Jeg elsker at se og høre Dina synge. Al hendes musik har nu i flere år været meget godt. Denne vakker jente synger så godt. Jeg holder meget af norsk musik og tekst. Kæmpe knus fra Danmark
