Mm, еhh, ahh

Nдr ingen ser, nдr ingen hцr
Nдr ingen vet, vad jag gцr
Och alla dom, vдnner jag samlat pе
Fцrsцker fцrstе

Hur det kan va, mm, vara sе

Att inte jag, kan gе och nе
Denna kvдll, nдr vдnnerna samlat sig
Dе tar jag min egen...
Tid

Hela veckan varje dag
Varje timme drцmmer jag
Om en stund I ensamhet
Jag drar ner min rullgardin
Dansar runt med ett glas vin
Spelar min дlsklings sеng
Och inget kan stцra...

Mmmm

Nдr allt jag ser, utan undantag
Дr kalendern brevй,
Fylld av ''bцr'' och ''ska''
Dе дr det dags
Fцr sjдlarnas tidsfцrdriv...
Dе tar jag min egen...
Tid

Hela veckan varje dag
Varje timme drцmmer jag
Om en stund I ensamhet
Jag drar ner min rullgardin
Dansar runt med ett glas vin
Spelar min дlsklings sеng
Och inget kan stцra...

Inget rцr mig idag...
Jag vill bara va
Tid

Hela veckan varje dag
Varje timme drцmmer jag
Om en stund I ensamhet

Jag drar ner min rullgardin
Dansar runt med ett glas vin

Spelar min дlsklings sеng
Och inget kan stцra...

Overall Meaning

The song "Egen tid" by Sonja Aldén is about finding time for oneself in the midst of busy schedules and obligations. The lyrics suggest that the singer feels like they are constantly being watched and judged by their friends, and they feel the pressure to always be social and active. However, they crave a moment of solitude where they can indulge in their own interests without any interruptions or distractions. The lyrics capture the sense of relief and satisfaction that comes from being alone and doing something for oneself.

The chorus repeats the phrase "Jag tar min egen tid" ("I take my own time") which emphasizes the importance of self-care and self-fulfillment. The verses describe the singer's typical week filled with work and social activities but contrast that with their desire for a moment of peace and quiet. The singer describes their ideal alone time as dancing around their room with a glass of wine and listening to their favorite song. The song ends with the affirmation that nothing can disturb their moment of tranquility.

Overall, "Egen tid" is a celebration of finding joy in solitary activities and the importance of taking care of oneself. The song encourages listeners to prioritize their own well-being and to not feel guilty about taking time for themselves.
