Den Sidste Vals
Sebastian Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

En gang for jeg vild i en vinter så kold,
jeg var blå indeni og langt fa' en i vold
natten var mørk og klokken tolv.
Så kom jeg forbi det her hus med mange lys
hvor musikken strømmed' ud på mærk'ligste vis
blev hængende i vinden og frøs til is.
Det var en vals -
fejende, lystig og legende
vals, dans med mig elskede
før den er omme
den allersidste vals.

Og pludselig var hun der og hun suged' mig ind
og knuged' mig tæt til sin brændende kind,
tøed' mig lidt og sagde: "Nu er du min."
"For vinen den er stærk og den farver dugen rød,"
sagde hun og grined' sært mens hun tabte sin glød.
Hun var klædt i sort og musikken den bød
op til vals -
fejende, lystig og legende ...

Da jeg vågned' op lå jeg svedig, forslået
tilbage på gulvet hvor slaget havde stået
huset var tomt og hun var gået.
Et lokkelys i natten rider ingen storme af.
Du ka' loves mange løfter under store huses tag
og valse rundt med døden, før du ser en ny dag.




Og danse vals -
fejende, lystig og legende ...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Sebastian's song "Den Sidste Vals" recount a cold winter night when the singer finds himself lost and alone. As he wanders aimlessly through the dark, he stumbles upon a house ablaze with light and music. It is here that he meets a mysterious woman who lures him into a frenzied dance, promising him a last dance that will be unlike any other. Despite his initial reluctance, he finds himself swept up in the joyous rhythm of the waltz, unable to resist the woman's seductive charms.


As the night wears on, the singer becomes increasingly intoxicated by the woman's beauty and the power of the wine they share. But when he wakes up the next morning, he realizes that he has been deceived. The woman has vanished, leaving him battered and bruised on the floor. In the end, the song serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of giving into temptation and the fleeting nature of life.


The lyrics of the song expertly blend together poetic language and vivid imagery to create a haunting and atmospheric tale. The waltz motif provides a steady pace throughout the song, as well as a sense of urgency and impending doom. The woman in black, the wine, and the empty house all add to the sense of mystery and intrigue that pervades the story.

And dance around with death, before seeing another new day.


Og danse vals - fejende, lystig og legende ...
And dance the waltz, sweeping, joyful and playful...
