They released a self-titled LP in 1979, which featured the locally successful single "Havet ligger blankt" (English: "The Empty Sea") that became their signature song. Later singles and albums proved unable to match the initial appeal, but the group has maintained a loyal fan base; they have continued to play to audiences into the 2010s.

Reeperbahn Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I mörkret, på dansgolvet
Kysser jag dig

Jag dansar... och blundar
Blundar och dansar.

I mörkret, på dansgolvet
Är en kyss bara en kyss

I mörkret, på dansgolvet
Är ett steg ett avgörande steg

I mörkret, på dansgolvet
Tänker jag att jag är kär

I mörkret, på dansgolvet
Tänker jag: konstigt att
Allt händer här

Jag dansar... och blundar
Blundar och dansar.

I mörkret, på dansgolvet
Omtöcknad av parfym
I mörkret, på dansgolvet
Då älskar jag dig
I mörkret, på dansgolvet
Ja, då älskar jag dig





Jag dansar... och blundar
Blundar och dansar.
