Natt i en stad
Nina Ramsby Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Om jag kunde tiga likt natten gör
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
Så som det viskar för mig

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
