Det Var På Capri
Four Jacks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
det var på Capri, jeg så hun forsvandt.
Det hele skete før natten var omme
før jeg fatted om synet var sandt.
Hun stod med et som en fe ved min side
og hendes mund var en yndig rubin
og med et smil lod den stille mig vide
at den ønsked' det samme som min.
månen løste hjertet ud:
Frøken, De er den jeg søgte
den, jeg tit har drømt, blev min brud.
Men hun fløj bort på usynlige vinger
og med et suk så jeg grunden var den-
hun bar en glat ring af guld på sin finger
jeg ta'r aldrig til Capri igen
The lyrics to Four Jacks's song Det Var På Capri is a nostalgic tale of a chance encounter with a woman on the beautiful island of Capri. The singer recalls seeing her for the first time and being immediately taken aback by her beauty. He compares her to a fairy standing by his side and describes her mouth as a beautiful ruby. With a smile, she conveyed to him that she wished for the same thing he did. They shared a magical moment together under the light of the moon before she vanished, leaving the singer with only a sigh and a realization that she had a wedding ring on her finger. He ends the song with a declaration that he will never return to Capri again.
The song captures the essence of a fleeting moment of love and desire that fades away too soon. The use of vivid imagery, such as the beautiful island of Capri, the fairy-like appearance of the woman, and the ruby-like lips, creates a sense of magical realism that adds to the enchantment of the story. The final revelation that the woman was already married and the singer's decision to never return to Capri again leaves the listener with a sense of melancholy, reflecting on the transience of life and the heartache that comes with lost opportunities.
