Hr. Skæg Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Uganda (Good Night)

Det er aften igen på min lille planet
og jeg ligger i mørket og smiler
over ting jeg skal drømme, når jeg sover om lidt
og hvor trygt i mit hjerte du hviler

Good night, good night

Dagens larm er forbi

Så jeg savner dig ikke, men jeg savner dig lidt
når du ikke er her ved min side
for jeg ved jo du findes på min lille planet
og vi finder hinanden i tide

Good night, good night
Dagens larm er forbi

Good night, sleep tight
Drømmene sætter dig fri

The first verse of Hr. Skæg's song "Uganda (Good Night)" talks about how it's evening again on his small planet and how he's lying in the dark, smiling over the things he will dream of when he falls asleep. He also mentions how safe he feels with the person he loves, implying that they are with him in spirit even though they might not physically be present.

In the chorus, he says good night to signify that the noise and distractions of the day are over and it's time to sleep. He admits that he doesn't miss his lover too much because he knows that they exist in his world and they will find each other just in time. The final line of the chorus, "Drømmene sætter dig fri" (Dreams set you free), suggests that he believes in the power of dreams as a means of escaping the stresses and worries of life.

Overall, the song has a romantic and whimsical feel to it. It portrays the concept of love and dreams as sources of comfort and freedom from the chaos of life.
