Rasmus Seebach Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sætter døren på klem, jeg holder vagt ved dit værelse
Du siger, at det er lidt uhyggeligt
Og det kan jeg godt forstå
Men lad mig nu fortælle dig
Om der, hvor vi skal hen, min ven
Hvor titusinde børn og sjove dyr
Og sommernætter fulde af eventyr
Venter på dig, venter på dig
Du når slet ikke at savne mig
For alt bliver leg
Og en dag, når du hører, det banker
Så står jeg I døren, og så kan du tage mig med ud at se
Nangijala, Nangijala
Selvom du somme tider glemmer det
Er du så stor og stærk
Meget stærkere end mig
Hvor mon du har dit mod fra?
Alting bliver så stille nu, og du lukker øjnene I
Månen viser vej, og stjernerne tager dig med
Af sted
Jeg ved, at der er et sted over skyer
Hvor titusinde børn og sjove dyr
Og sommernætter fulde af eventyr
Venter på dig, venter på dig
Du når slet ikke at savne mig, for alt bliver leg
Og en dag, når du hører, det banker
Så står jeg I døren, og så kan du tage mig med ud at se
Nangijala, Nangijala, Nangijala
Jeg ved, at du er bange for mørket, så jeg lader lyset stå tændt
Sætter døren på klem, jeg holder vagt ved dit værelse
Jeg ved, at der er et sted over skyer
Hvor titusinde børn og sjove dyr
Og sommernætter fulde af eventyr
Venter på dig, venter på dig
Du når slet ikke at savne mig
For alt bliver leg
Og en dag, når du hører, det banker
Så står jeg I døren, og så kan du tage mig med ud at se
Nangijala, Nangijala
The song "Nangijala" by Rasmus Seebach is a comforting lullaby addressed to a child who is afraid of the dark. The opening lines reveal that the singer understands the child's fears, and tries to ease them by keeping a light on and guarding the door to the child's room. He then goes on to tell the child about a place beyond the clouds called Nangijala, where thousands of children and fun animals play and have adventures on summer nights. The singer wants the child to know that he or she will never miss him because everything will be so much fun there, and that one day, when the child hears a knock on the door, the singer will be there to take the child to see it all.
The song is filled with vivid imagery and gentle reassurances, making it a perfect lullaby for a child experiencing fears of the dark. The singer's loving and protective tone aims to soothe the child's anxieties by painting a picture of a world beyond their current surroundings where everything is exciting and new. This is a touching message that shows the singer's deep love and care for the child and highlights the innate need to protect and offer a source of safety and security for loved ones.

Jeg ved, at du er bange for mørket, så jeg lader lyset stå tændt
I know you're afraid of the dark, so I leave the light on
Sætter døren på klem, jeg holder vagt ved dit værelse
I crack the door and keep watch over your room
Du siger, at det er lidt uhyggeligt
You say it's a bit scary
Og det kan jeg godt forstå
And I can understand that
Men lad mig nu fortælle dig
But let me tell you now
Om der, hvor vi skal hen, min ven
About where we're going, my friend
Jeg ved, at der er et sted over skyer
I know there's a place above the clouds
Hvor titusinde børn og sjove dyr
Where thousands of children and funny animals
Og sommernætter fulde af eventyr
And summer nights full of adventure
Venter på dig, venter på dig
Are waiting for you, waiting for you
Du når slet ikke at savne mig
You won't even miss me
For alt bliver leg
Because everything is play
Og en dag, når du hører, det banker
And one day, when you hear a knock
Så står jeg I døren, og så kan du tage mig med ud at se
I'll be at the door, and then you can take me out to see
Nangijala, Nangijala
Nangijala, Nangijala
Selvom du somme tider glemmer det
Even if you sometimes forget it
Er du så stor og stærk
You are so big and strong
Meget stærkere end mig
Much stronger than me
Hvor mon du har dit mod fra?
Where do you get your courage from?
Alting bliver så stille nu, og du lukker øjnene I
Everything is so quiet now, and you close your eyes
Månen viser vej, og stjernerne tager dig med
The moon shows the way, and the stars take you along
Af sted
Off we go
Nangijala, Nangijala, Nangijala
Nangijala, Nangijala, Nangijala
