Den Lille Malkeko
Sebastian Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Jeg' den lille malkeko
Jeg skal bare stå og glo
Gå og tygge drøv i mark og enge
Samme foder samme skidt
Uuh jeg tænker tit
Nu har jeg stået og gumlet meget længe

Såd'n er alle mine dage
En ko er en ko til den dør
Eet skridt frem og to til-bage
til der hvor jeg var lige før
Såd'n er det ofte med køer.

Jeg' den lille malkeko
Jeg ka' tænke, jeg ka' tro
Lige hva' jeg vil, om så du spurgte
Om jeg føler mig til nar
Får du det samme svar
Jeg si'r alligevel Muuuhh til hele lortet

Såd'n er alle...

Jeg er den lille malkeko
u-ja, hvem sku' tro
at en ko kan lave om på situationen
Et styks malket stemmekvæg
strøget bliver' det danske flag
hvis ikk' jeg gi'r mit liv til produktionen





Såd'n er alle...

Overall Meaning

The song "Den lille malkeko" by Sebastian is about the simple life of a dairy cow. The singer of the song is a cow who spends her days grazing in the fields and chewing her cud. She reflects on her monotonous routine of eating the same food and producing the same waste, and wonders how long she has been doing this. The cow seems to be aware of her situation, and yet she is content with her life. She is a cow, and that's what she will be until she dies. The song suggests that cows are happy with their lives because they have no expectations or aspirations.


The refrain "Såd'n er det ofte med køer" (That's often how it is with cows) underscores the idea that cows are creatures of habit who are content with their daily routine. The cow in the song may seem simple-minded, but she also has a sense of agency. She can think and believe what she wants, even if people think she's foolish. Her "Muuuh" is her defiance against the monotony of life, and her way of saying that she's okay with it.


Overall, "Den lille malkeko" is a whimsical and lighthearted song that invites listeners to consider the perspective of a farm animal. It reminds us that simplicity and contentment are valuable qualities, even if they seem unsophisticated.
