Sången om Matti
Franska Trion Lyrics

The song "Sången om Matti" by Franska Trion tells the story of a man named Matti who seems to go about his life in a very determined manner. The first few lines describe him variously as a boy, an old man, a child, and as someone who goes about his business in a matter-of-fact way. Matti is someone who does what needs to be done and follows the stars and clouds where they may lead. However, despite his outward demeanor, there is also a sadness to Matti as he carries sorrow in his heart. Despite this, he remains appreciative of life and sees it as a battle against evil spirits that are symbolized by the red apple, which he views as something that we all took a bite of at the beginning of our existence.

The lyrics go on to emphasize that Matti is a fighter and a survivor who can navigate his way through life's challenges. He may at times seem simple or foolish to others, but his songs are an essential part of his identity, and he sings them with the same determination he applies to all aspects of his life. Overall, the lyrics present Matti as a stoic figure who faces life's difficulties with a sense of purpose, even when weighed down by sadness.
