HEI HOU
Klamydia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Jaksoi melkeen väsymättä kiertää maailmaa
Kolmen soinnun voimalla rajat murtuivat
Melodiat valloitti vanhat sekä ipanat
Hei Hou Let's go, vielä aina vaan
(Jaba Jaba Hey) En pysty unohtaan
Rokkia ei nopeusrajoituksia
Sillä Sheena ja Judy on ikinuoria
Jo kakarana täysin sydämeni menetin
Ja tosiaan kolisee vielä vanhempanakin
Saman levyn taisi monta kertaa tehdä he
Mut paskaaks sill on väliä se kuullostaa jumalaiselle
Hei Hou Let's go, vielä aina vaan
(Jaba Jaba Hey) En pysty unohtaan
Rokkia ei nopeusrajoituksia
Sillä Sheena ja Judy on ikinuoria
Hei Hou Let's go, vielä aina vaan
(Jaba Jaba Hey) En pysty unohtaan
Rokkia ei nopeusrajoituksia
Sillä Sheena ja Judy on ikinuoria
Sillä Sheena ja Judy on ikinuoria
The lyrics of Klamydia's "Hei Hou" express nostalgia and admiration for the power of rock music to bring people together regardless of age or boundaries. The song tells the story of a group of friends who traveled the world with their polka haircuts and guitars, powered by the strength of three chords and infectious melodies that captured the hearts of both old and young listeners.
The chorus "Hei Hou Let's go" is an invitation to keep going, to keep rocking regardless of the obstacles, and to never forget the magic and the thrill of the musical experience. The references to Sheena and Judy, icons of punk rock, emphasize the idea that music has the ability to transcend time and to inspire new generations of fans.
The verses describe a personal connection to the power of rock music, the deep emotional impact it has had on the singer's life since childhood, and the enduring appeal of classic rock tunes that continue to resonate with fans across the world. The line "paskaaks sill on väliä se kuullostaa jumalaiselle" ("who cares if it sounds like crap, it still sounds divine") reinforces the idea that the quality of the music is less important than the passion behind it and the sense of community it fosters.
Overall, "Hei Hou" is a celebratory anthem of the joy and the unity that rock music can bring, an ode to the power of music to inspire, connect, and energize fans of all ages and backgrounds.
