Fanden hakk i hel
Kaizers Orchestra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Eg har aldri tatt i en bibel
Den porten er nok stengt når eg dør
Eg har mange minner frå då eg var liten
Det er som eg ser tilbake gjennom et slør
Og du har alltid vært jentå mi
Me gikk hånd i hånd med kver sitt stort smil
Alle såg på oss når me gikk forbi
Men ingen såg kva me gjorde nattestid

Og nå springer me med fanden hakk i hel
Og holder på å le oss ihjel
Gjennom parken og over ei eng
Og duene de letter en og en
Og alt som de har sagt ikkje var lov
Det gjorde me mens alle låg og sov
Me kommer aldri til å få som fortjent
for de tar oss aldri igjen

Det fins en plass bare me to vett om
Kor me kan være aleina i skjul
Og hvis det begynner å regne, har me plastikk
Det er nesten som å bu i Konsul
Det er vanskelig å skille rett frå galt
Eg har gjort så mange feil blir eg fortalt




Og hvis eg kunne levd mitt liv igjen
Ville eg gjort de samme feilene om igjen en etter en

Overall Meaning

The Kaizers Orchestra's song Fanden hakk i hel is a nostalgic and reflective song about youthful rebellion, freedom, and retrospective acceptance of past choices. The lyrics describe the singer's memories of their carefree and adventurous youth, where they held hands with their significant other, skipped through the park and broke the rules when everybody was sleeping. The song also touches on the complexity of life choices – how sometimes it's hard to tell right from wrong, and even though one may have made mistakes, they would still do it all again.


The song's chorus talks about running with the devil at their heels, laughing uncontrollably and feeling fearless. The singer reminisces about a place where only they know to hide, where they can be themselves with nobody around them. The song ends by saying that despite making plenty of mistakes, the singer would have still made the same choices and feels no remorse.


Kaizers Orchestra's Fanden hakk i hel is an emotionally charged and thought-provoking song that conveys a sense of longing and nostalgia for the past, mixed with a feeling of acceptance for the present.


Line by Line Meaning

Eg har aldri tatt i en bibel
I have never touched a bible


Den porten er nok stengt når eg dør
The gate to heaven will likely be closed to me when I die


Eg har mange minner frå då eg var liten
I have many memories from when I was young


Det er som eg ser tilbake gjennom et slør
It's like I'm looking back through a veil


Og du har alltid vært jentå mi
And you have always been my girl


Me gikk hånd i hånd med kver sitt stort smil
We walked hand in hand with big smiles on our faces


Alle såg på oss når me gikk forbi
Everyone looked at us as we passed by


Men ingen såg kva me gjorde nattestid
But no one saw what we did at night


Og nå springer me med fanden hakk i hel
And now we run with the devil on our tails


Og holder på å le oss ihjel
And we're laughing ourselves to death


Gjennom parken og over ei eng
Through the park and over a meadow


Og duene de letter en og en
And the doves take flight one by one


Og alt som de har sagt ikkje var lov
And everything they said was not allowed


Det gjorde me mens alle låg og sov
We did it while everyone was sleeping


Me kommer aldri til å få som fortjent
We will never get what we deserve


for de tar oss aldri igjen
Because they will never catch us again


Det fins en plass bare me to vett om
There is a place that only we know about


Kor me kan være aleina i skjul
Where we can be alone in hiding


Og hvis det begynner å regne, har me plastikk
And if it starts to rain, we have plastic


Det er nesten som å bu i Konsul
It's almost like living in the consulate


Det er vanskelig å skille rett frå galt
It's hard to tell right from wrong


Eg har gjort så mange feil blir eg fortalt
I've been told I've made so many mistakes


Og hvis eg kunne levd mitt liv igjen
And if I could live my life again


Ville eg gjort de samme feilene om igjen en etter en
I would make the same mistakes again one by one

do what I do, look up the English lyrics and read along with the song. After awhile it's almost like it is in English.
