Hennes ögon
Friends Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
någonting som färgar Ögon Blå
Handling lär betyda, mer än ord och ändå
mer än du förmår
Hon gav dig tillstånd att älska, utan att få någonting tillbaks
Kanske är det bäst så att bara säga Ja.
Men hade du haft henne ögon, såg det annorlunda ut
Hade du haft hennes ögon, och vi ett annat slut
Hade du haft hennes ögon, av kärlek var de blå
Hade du haft hennes ögon, vad hade du sett då?
Säger ett men menar någonting helt annat, hon vet de é så
Hon gav dig tillstånd att älska utan att få någonting tillbaks
Tänkte kanske är det bäst så att bara säga ja.
Refräng
Men hade du haft henne ögon, såg det annorlunda ut
Hade du haft hennes ögon, och vi ett annat slut
Hade du haft hennes ögon, av kärlek var dom blå
Hade du haft hennes ögon, vad hade du sett då?
huuuu.
Hade du haft henne ögon, såg det annorlunda ut
Hade du haft hennes ögon, och vi ett annat slut
Hade du haft hennes ögon, av kärlek var dom blå
Hade du haft hennes ögon, vad hade du sett då?
Hade du haft henne ögon, såg det annorlunda ut
Hade du haft hennes ögon, och vi ett annat slut
Hade du haft hennes ögon, av kärlek var dom blå
Hade du haft hennes ögon, vad hade du sett då?
The song Hennes ögon by Friends talks about the power of love and how it can change our perception of the world. The lyrics suggest that something came out of nowhere, which colored the eyes blue and that it is the action that means more than words. The singer then mentions a woman who gave permission to love without expecting anything back and the chorus asks how things would be different if we had her eyes.
The singer implies that if we had seen what this woman went through and experienced love the way she did, we would see things differently. The woman in the song is wise, as the singer suggests she says one thing but means another, implying that she is full of hidden meaning and unspoken wisdom. She gave permission to love without expectation and the singer questions whether that was the right thing, perhaps implying that love should be exchanged equally.
In summary, the song Hennes ögon is a beautiful and inspiring song about how love can change our perspective on life and how the eyes of those we care about can give us a different insight into the world and ourselves.
