Talo meren rannalla
Kauko Röyhkä Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Talo meren rannalla, arvoitus monille.
Olen odottanut jo kauan, haluan sinne.
Talo meren rannalla, arvoitus minulle.
Astun pois puiden varjoista aurinkoon,
puiden varjoista pois.

Talo meren rannalla, rautaa ja lasia.
Joku haluaa niin käyvän, vetää mua sinne.
Joku toinen taistelee vastaan ja repii mua vaatteista:
"Ei poika susta oo siihen,
ei poika susta oo siihen ikinä".

Ehkä talo on lukittu,
eikä ole avainta.
Mut jos käännyn pois
en koskaan saa tietää sen ihmeistä.

Talo meren rannalla, arvoitus monille.
Olen nousemassa sen portaita: ovi on kiinni.
Ovi pysyy kiinni, ei aukene minulle.
Astun pois. Käy meren aavoilta tuuli.




Käy meren aavoilta tuuli, käy tuuli ylleni,
ei jätä minua.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Kauko Röyhkä's song "Talo meren rannalla" speak about the mystery of a house by the sea. The singer has been waiting for a long time to see the house and wants to go there. However, the house remains a mystery to many, including the singer. As he steps out of the shadows of the trees into the sunlight, he sees the house made of iron and glass. Some may want him to go there, but others are fighting against him, trying to pull him back. They tell him that he is not meant to be there. The house may be locked, and the singer may never know its wonders if he turns away.


The lyrics are open to interpretation, and it's possible to see them as a metaphor for chasing dreams and the struggles that come with pursuing them. The house by the sea may represent a goal, a place of ultimate satisfaction, but the unknown and opposition make it difficult to reach. It may require effort and determination to get there, and some may say it's impossible.


The song's poetic imagery combines with the music to create an emotive experience for the listener. The chorus is haunting, with the repetition of the phrase "Talo meren rannalla" and the way the singer's voice drops off at the end. The melody is melancholic and blends perfectly with the lyrics, creating a sad but beautiful piece.
