Hr. Skæg Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Når jeg godt vil være glad
må jeg gøre noget jeg godt kan li'
Det er svært at vide hvad
Jeg må mærke efter indeni
I går var det is
og i morgen er det nok is igen
Yesterday it was ice cream
Today it is ice cream
Tomorrow it's ice cream again
The first stanza of Hr. Skæg's song "Grønland (Hvad jeg godt kan lide)" talks about doing something that makes him happy. He believes that in order to find joy, one must find things that they like doing. Being in touch with one's inner self is crucial in finding out what these things are. The second stanza deals with the ongoing theme of ice. It mentions that yesterday it was ice cream, today it is also ice cream, and most likely, tomorrow it will be the same ice cream. The repetition of the word 'is' serves as a metaphor that implies the repetitive nature of life. The last line of the stanza talks about how insignificant the things we pursue are, and that in the grand scheme of things, they don't matter much.
Overall, the song reflects on how fleeting life can be, and how the simple joys of life should be celebrated more often. The song inspires listeners to focus on the happy moments in life and to always stay positive, even during times of difficulty.

Når jeg godt vil være glad
When I want to be happy
må jeg gøre noget jeg godt kan li'
I have to do something I like
Det er svært at vide hvad
It's hard to know what
Jeg må mærke efter indeni
I have to feel inside
I går var det is
Yesterday it was ice cream
og i dag er det is
and today it is ice cream
og i morgen er det nok is igen
and tomorrow it's probably ice cream again
