Nainen
Kumikameli Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
muistaa kaiken
anteeks usein
on pakko pyytää
nainen
löytää aina
ja painaa siitä
jos tahtoo jotain
nainen
vaatii paljon
ei kaikki riitä
lisää lisää
revi siitä
nainen
parhaimmillaan seisauttaa veren
ja sukelluttaa kiehuvaan veteen
nainen
The lyrics to Kumikameli's song "Nainen" describe different characteristics and traits of a woman. The first stanza suggests that women tend to have a deep understanding of everything, and they remember everything. They often forgive and ask for forgiveness, which is an essential quality in any relationship. The second stanza describes how a woman can always find a vulnerable spot (an "aran paikan") and use it to get what she wants. The third stanza suggests that women can be demanding and require more than what they are given, always wanting more. The fourth and final stanza describes how a woman at her best can evoke powerful emotions in others, able to stop hearts and immerse them in boiling water.
Overall, the lyrics paint a complex portrait of a woman, highlighting her strengths as well as her flaws. The song celebrates women's power and capacity for eliciting strong emotional responses from others. It also acknowledges that women can be demanding, but at the same time, they can also show remarkable forgiveness and understanding.
