Nattergalen På Sin Gren
Sebastian Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Nattergalen, på sin gren
Åh hvor længe,
Åh hvor længe
Fløj fra grenen til kejserens seng
det er længe siden

Nattergalen, lystigt sang
Åh hvor længe.

Sprang og spiste fra kejserens hånd
det er længe siden

Nattergalen, sat i bur
Åh hvor længe.
Skiftede straks fra mol til dur
det er længe siden

Nattergalen - bedst af alt
Åh hvor længe.
Indtil en anden var bedre valgt
det er længe siden

Nattergalen - landsforvist
Åh hvor længe.
Tabte til en der sang mer præcist
det er længe siden

Nattergalen, på sin gren
Åh hvor længe.

Fløj fra grenen til kejserens seng
det er længe siden.

Overall Meaning

Sebastian's song Nattergalen På Sin Gren refers to the story of "The Nightingale," written by Hans Christian Andersen. The lyrics depict the tale of a nightingale bird (Nattergalen) who flew from its perch to the emperor's bed and sang beautifully. The song emphasizes how long ago it has been since this happened, indicating the bird's absence. The nightingale would sing cheerfully, hop from the emperor's hand, and quickly change notes from a minor to a major key, which is marked by the lyrics 'Skiftede straks fra mol til dur.'

However, the emperor caged the bird, and its singing was compromised. The nightingale immediately changed its tune to a major key, indicating it did not like being confined, as birds need freedom to sing joyfully. The nightingale was the finest singer of all, but eventually, a newer singer was chosen over it, and the bird was exiled. The nightingale lost the competition because the other bird sang more accurately, referring to how people can be shallow and make decisions based on immediate impressions.

The lyrics of the song suggest that Sebastian's adaptation of Andersen's powerful story is an apparent critique of society's lust for novelty that rejects the natural and the authentic. It criticizes the desire for competition based on superficial qualities rather than true artistic brilliance. The nightingale serves as a metaphor for art and talent that must not be censored and suppressed as it will wilt and eventually disappear. The song acts as a reminder to embrace and appreciate things for their inherent worth and originality.
