Sr. Frederik
Eufemia Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Indescifrable,
Una contradicción
Después de lavarse,
Jugaba en el lodo
Una tarde
Desapareció

Vivía en un disco,
Su funda de cartón
Vestía de verde,
Cuando desapareció
Sola-men-te yo,
Lo podía ver





Una tarde se fue

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Eufemia's song "Sr. Frederik" offer a puzzling yet intriguing narrative about an enigmatic character, Sr. Frederik. The opening lines, "Indescifrable, una contradicción" ("Indecipherable, a contradiction"), suggest that Sr. Frederik is a complex and elusive individual. The mention of him playing in the mud after washing up only adds to this enigmatic quality, suggesting that there are layers to his personality that are difficult to comprehend. The subsequent lines, "Una tarde, desapareció" ("One afternoon, he disappeared"), escalate the mystery even further, leaving the listener wondering what has become of Sr. Frederik.


The second stanza offers more clues about Sr. Frederik's identity and circumstances. The line "Vivía en un disco, su funda de cartón" ("He lived in a record, in its cardboard sleeve") suggests that perhaps he is a character from a record or a song. The line "Vestía de verde cuando desapareció" ("He was wearing green when he disappeared") hints that his vanishing may have been sudden and unexpected. The final line, "Sola-men-te yo, lo podía ver" ("Only I could see him"), adds a haunting and slightly eerie feeling to the song, as if Sr. Frederik is a ghost or a figment of the singer's imagination.
