Sarah
Het Huis Anubis Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sarah, mijn naam, meer heb ik niet.
Ik heb zoveel verdriet, hier in dit huis zo kil en koud.
Sarah, ik voel me zo alleen, waar zijn mijn ouders heen?
Ik wil dat iemand van me houdt.

Sarah Sarah, slaap nu zacht de hele nacht.
Sarah Sarah, morgen zal het beter zijn.
Sarah Sarah, jij wil alles zo begrijpen maar...
... Sarah Sarah, daarvoor ben je nog te klein.

Sarah, de wereld is zo hard.
En ik ben zo verward, er spoken spoken door m'n hoofd.
Sarah, mijn leven kent geen rust.
Straks is mijn levenslust, zoals een kaarsje uitgedoofd.

Refrein

De nachten zijn zo kil, dit is niet wat ik wil.
Maar ach dat maakt gewoon niets uit.
De tijd kruipt langzaam voort, maar niemand die mij hoort.
Wanneer komen mijn dromen uit?

Overall Meaning

The song "Sarah" by Het Huis Anubis is a melancholic ballad sung by a character named Sarah, who is pained by her loneliness and confusion. The song opens with Sarah's declaration that she has nothing else but her own name and is filled with sadness as she is living in a cold and empty house. Her parents are missing and she is left alone while desperately yearning for someone to love her. Sarah is shown as a vulnerable and sensitive character who is trying to make sense of the world's harshness while feeling lost and disoriented. The phrase "er spoken spoken door m'n hoofd" ("there are ghosts, ghosts in my head") adds to the haunting nature of the lyrics.


The song's chorus is a message of hope where Sarah tells herself that everything will be better tomorrow, and that she should try not to understand everything as she is still too young. Despite these words of comfort, she acknowledges that life is hard and she is constantly confused, which is causing her mental turmoil. She fears that her misery will never subside, and her hope for a better life is fading away like a candle that is about to extinguish. The final chorus elaborates further on the theme of loneliness and isolation, with Sarah wishing for someone to hear her dreams.


The song's soulful melody coupled with the vulnerable and raw lyrics make it relatable to anyone who has ever felt abandoned or misunderstood. It pulls at the heartstrings of the listener and creates a feeling of empathy towards Sarah's plight. With its simple yet powerful lyrics, "Sarah" has become an iconic song that is emblematic of the show it was written for.
