Närke
Hanna Järver Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Med spottet i halsen och handskarna på
Du lovar så jävla mycket
Jag lovar ingenting alls
Vi samlas i parken och skålar
Fyrverkerier som knappt lämnar mark
Jag andas ut över närke
Allt det som krampade förr
The lyrics of Hanna Järver's song Närke seem to be about a central point of the song that is about the antithesis between stability and change. The song's lyrics suggest a sense of bitterness with seeing how engaged couples seem to be false and superficial with all the hype and the glamour that surrounds weddings. This can be inferred from descriptions like "spottet i halsen" (spit in the throat) and "Du lovar sa j*vla mycket" (you promise so much). There is a clear contrast to the singer's reaction, as she doesn't promise anything, indicating how different people react to situations.
The lyrics also appear to reference some kind of personal growth, described as "allt det som krampade för" (everything that was cramped before). There is a sense of relief and release that "krampade" refers to, and this is demonstrated in the way the singer, in the end, breathes out over "Närke," the Swedish region around which the song revolves. The singer seems to have found inner peace as she is now able to enjoy fireworks, a great symbol of external celebration, without feeling like something inside is missing.

Ser hur förlovade kommer
I observe how engaged couples arrive
Med spottet i halsen och handskarna på
Their mouths salivating, and their gloves on
Du lovar så jävla mycket
You promise so much
Jag lovar ingenting alls
I don't promise anything
Vi samlas i parken och skålar
We gather in the park and toast
Fyrverkerier som knappt lämnar mark
Fireworks that barely leave the ground
Jag andas ut över närke
I exhale over Närke
Allt det som krampade förr
All that used to cramp
Är det ett jubel runt Svartån
Is now a jubilation around Svartån
