Elov & Beny Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Jag har suttit hemma nu i vad som känns som hundra år
Inget går att gora nu och klockan bara går (he)
Storebror har sagt till mig att "livet ska vara tråkigt nu"

"Lilla bror vara lydig men nu måste han gå ut"

Nu ska vi krocka igen och ta oss till historien
Nu ska vi leva igen som Vilda sjömän

Nu ska vi krocka igen, på med solglasögonen
Nu ska vi leva igen som Vilda sjömän

Vissa vänner ringer mig och vissa vänner har gett upp
Initierar mig för fan så umgås vi i grupp (he)
Nu är måttet rågat men vi reser oss med fyllda glas
Tid har gått till spillo men vi ta igen den snart

Nu ska vi krocka igen och ta oss till historien
Nu ska vi leva igen som Vilda sjömän

Nu ska vi krocka igen, på med solglasögonen
Nu ska vi leva igen som Vilda sjömän
