Skrur av din TV
Det er på tide å sommern i møte
Nå kan du leve
Kaste børt tiden på ingenting

Her kan du se det
De fineste minnene tar ikke bankkort
De tar ikke bankkort

Ligger her og tenker høyt
I skyggen av et palmetre
Her lar jeg bare tiden fly avsted
Dagene er lange
Jeg er her
Jeg er fri
Jeg skal bli
Og gjøre ingenting

Hjertet mitt banker
Til takten av bølger som slår i fra havet
Her kaster jeg anker
Skrur av mobilen og blir for godt

Jeg har mine sanser
De fineste minnene tar ikke kontanter
De tar ikke kontanter

Ligger her og tenker høyt
I skyggen av et palmetre
Her lar jeg bare tiden fly avsted
Dagene er lange
Jeg er her
Jeg er fri
Jeg skal bli
Og gjøre ingenting
I skyggen av et palmetre
Her lar jeg bare tiden fly avsted
Dagene er lange
Jeg er her
Jeg er fri
Jeg skal bli
Og gjøre ingenting

Kanskje vi er helt på jordet
Kanskje vi lager historie
Hvem vet hvem vet
Kanskje vi er helt på jordet
Kanskje vi lager historie
Hvem vet hvem vet

Ligger her og tenker høyt
I skyggen av et palmetre
Her lar jeg bare tiden fly avsted
Dagene er lange
Jeg er her
Jeg er fri
Jeg skal bli
Og gjøre ingenting
I skyggen av et palmetre
Her lar jeg bare tiden fly avsted
Dagene er lange
Jeg er her
Jeg er fri
Jeg skal bli
Og gjøre ingenting

Og gjøre ingenting

Overall Meaning

The song "Gjøre Ingenting" by Freddy Kalas is about the joy of doing nothing and living in the moment. The first verse encourages the listener to turn off their TV and embrace the summer, and to spend time on enjoying life and doing nothing at all. The lyrics suggest that some of the best memories are not bought with money but are found in the moments when we slow down and enjoy the world around us.

In the second verse, the singer describes lying under a palm tree, letting time fly by, and being in the present moment. He turns off his phone and allows himself to fully relax, feeling his heart beat along to the sound of the ocean waves. The chorus repeats the message of enjoying the beauty of just being, suggesting that doing nothing can be a way of becoming more grounded and free.

The bridge offers a reflective moment, questioning whether taking time to relax and enjoy the small moments of life is "helt på jordet" or worth it, but ultimately the song affirms the value of taking a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and allowing ourselves to rest and recharge.

Overall, "Gjøre Ingenting" is a reminder that sometimes the best moments in life are those when we slow down and enjoy the simple pleasures around us.

It's time to meet summer

Now you can live

Kaste børt tiden på ingenting
Waste your time doing nothing

I skyggen av et palmetre
In the shade of a palm tree

Her lar jeg bare tiden fly avsted
Here I just let time pass by

The days are long
