Du Sålde Våra Hjärtan
Lisa Ekdahl Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Du s�lde mitt hj�rta, p� realisation
Och du s�lde min stolthet, p� n�rmaste auktion
Du s�lde min v�rdighet och min innersta hemlighet
Av allt det jag gav har du ingenting kvar
Jag ger vad jag har
Men du ger ingenting tillbaks

Jag l�mnar dig h�r

Jag m�ste g� nu
Ja, jag l�mnar dig h�r
F�r jag vill aldrig, aldrig, aldrig bli som du

F�r du s�lde ditt hj�rta, du s�lde din sj�l
S� inte k�nner du sm�rta, n�r jag tar mitt farv�l
Inget sm�rtar en hj�rtl�s man, s�g vad en man utan hj�rta inte kan
Av allt det jag gav har du ingenting kvar
Jag ger vad jag har
Men du ger ingenting tillbaks

S� jag l�mnar dig h�r
Jag m�ste g� nu
Ja, jag l�mnar dig h�r
F�r jag vill aldrig, aldrig, aldrig bli som du

(Mellanspel)

Du s�lde mitt hj�rta, och allt som var v�rt
Jag undrar �n hur du kunde, du sa det var inte sv�rt
Nej, inget sm�rtar en hj�rtl�s man, s�g vad en man utan hj�rta inte kan
Av allt det jag gav har du ingenting kvar
Jag ger vad jag har
Men du ger ingenting tillbaks

S� jag l�mnar dig h�r
Jag m�ste g� nu
Ja, jag l�mnar dig h�r
F�r jag vill aldrig, aldrig, aldrig bli som du

F�r du s�lde v�ra hj�rtan
Du s�lde v�ra hj�rtan
Ja, du s�lde v�ra hj�rtan
Du s�lde v�ra hj�rtan
Du s�lde v�ra hj�rtan

Du s�lde v�ra hj�rtan
Ja, du s�lde v�ra hj�rtan

Overall Meaning

In Lisa Ekdahl's song "Du sålde våra hjärtan" (translated as "You Sold Our Hearts"), she sings about a relationship that has ended due to the other person's lack of emotion and care. The lyrics talk about the singer giving everything they had to the relationship, but the other person didn't reciprocate anything back. The first verse talks about how the singer's heart was sold during a sale, and their pride and dignity were sold in an auction. The other person even sold the singer's innermost secrets and didn't have anything left of what was given to them.

In the chorus, the singer decides to leave and never become like the other person who sold their heart and soul. The second verse talks about how the heartless man doesn't feel pain and can't do things that require emotions. The bridge also highlights how the other person sold everything that was valuable in the relationship, and the singer wonders how they could do so.

Overall, the lyrics are about how some people don't understand the importance of emotions and feelings in a relationship and how they can leave a person with nothing. It's essential to have communication, trust, and emotions to maintain a healthy relationship, and this song brings out that message beautifully.

Du sålde mitt hjärta, på realisation
You sold my heart, on sale

Och du sålde min stolthet, på närmaste auktion
And you sold my pride, at the nearest auction

Du sålde min värdighet och min innersta hemlighet
You sold my dignity and my deepest secret

Av allt det jag gav har du ingenting kvar
Of all that I gave, you have nothing left

Jag ger vad jag har
I give what I have

Men du ger ingenting tillbaks
But you give nothing in return

Jag lämnar dig här
I leave you here

Jag måste gå nu
I have to go now

För jag vill aldrig, aldrig, aldrig bli som du
Because I never, never, never want to be like you

För du sålde ditt hjärta, du sålde din själ
Because you sold your heart, you sold your soul

Så inte känner du smärta, när jag tar mitt farväl
So you don't feel any pain, when I say goodbye
