Dagny
Owe Thörnqvist Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Inte visste vi vad kärlek var
förr´n lilla Dagny kom till stan.
Nu sitter vi där och doppar skorporna
på café "sjuan" hela dan.
Och alla så ropar vi i kör att:

Dagny, kom hit och spill!
Oh, oh, oh, Dagny, fem droppar till
Hör hur mitt hjärta sjunger trallidill, tralidill.

Vi spelade på grammofonen där
Och titta´ snett uppå varann,
Winerbröna, mazarinerna
och sockerkakorna försvann
i fyra små feta killar som sjöng:

Dagny kom hit och spill!
Oh, oh, oh, Dagny, fem droppar till
Hör hur mitt hjärta sjunger trallidill…….

I salig rus av hennes vackra ord
vi glömde bort att säga tack.
Vi åt och drack så allihopa sprack
och i tapeten sa det smack!
Ruinerna sjunger ännu där om:





Dagny …….
