Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Det kom en vind, till vinterland
och vinden sa "håll ut din hand"
så det börja, så det brann
så jag föll in i ett eget land
marie marie, kom hit å stör mej
marie marie, du får aldri lämna mej ifred
marie marie, kom hit å rör mej
låt dina händer säga ett, två, tre

vi dricker vin i en siden säng
och leker solar på en sommaräng
vi rullar runt på smutsiga golv
och känner på månen
när klockan slår tolv
marie marie, kom hit å stör mej
marie marie, du får aldri lämna mej ifred
marie marie, kom hit å rör mej
låt dina händer säga ett, två, tre
å när natten är ung
så går vi ut en stund
å om natten är lugn
så går vi in på mitt ruum
vi kunde väl gå ner
till sjön ett slag å
kanske sätta oss på båten ett tag
ja kan hålla andan i en lång, lång stund
hellre de än att vara utan dej en sekund
marie marie, kom hit å stör mej
marie marie, du får aldri lämna mej ifred
marie marie, kom hit å rör mej
låt dina händer säga ett, två, tre
marie marie, kom hit å stör mej
du får aldri lämna mej ifred

marie marie, kom hit å rör mej
låt dina händer säga ett, två, treee
