Natt i en stad
Nina Ramsby Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Skulle jag tiga och le mot dig
Men natten har tigit i tusentals år
Så som den tiger mot mig
Och kunde jag viska likt regnet gör
Skulle jag viska så till dig
Men regnet har viskat i tusentals år
Men hör jag kan sjunga som staden gör
Så vill jag sjunga tyst för dig
Ty staden kan gråta och staden kan le
Men staden ska tystna med oss
Och kunde jag viska likt regnet gör
Skulle jag viska så till dig
Men regnet har viskat i tusentals år
Så som det viskar för mig
The lyrics to Nina Ramsby's song "Natt i en stad" talk about the singer's desire to communicate their feelings to someone they love. The first verse expresses the longing to be silent like the night and smile at the person. The night has remained silent for thousands of years, just as it stays silent towards the singer. This implies that the singer wishes to hold their words back, perhaps fearing rejection or misunderstanding.
In the second verse, the singer mentions the desire to whisper like the rain does. They would whisper their feelings to the person, but the rain has been whispering for thousands of years without being heard, just as the singer feels unheard. This reveals a sense of frustration and helplessness, as they are unable to express their emotions in a way that gets through to the person they love.
The chorus brings a shift in perspective, stating that if the singer could sing like the city does, they would sing softly for the person. The city can cry and laugh, showing a range of emotions, but it will eventually fall silent along with them. This suggests that the singer wants to convey their emotions through song, which can evoke both joy and sorrow, but also acknowledges that silence will eventually come, perhaps signifying an end of their connection or relationship.
Overall, the lyrics of "Natt i en stad" convey the longing and frustration of the singer to communicate their love and emotions to someone, while acknowledging the limitations and eventual silence that might arise.
