Då är det inte kärlek
Tant Strul Lyrics

The lyrics to Tant Strul's song "Då är det inte kärlek" (translated to "Then it's not love") centers around the theme of possessiveness in a relationship. The singer describes certain scenarios where their partner's actions indicate a desire to control and own them. The lyrics suggest that true love involves trusting and respecting one another's individuality, rather than trying to possess each other.

The song starts with the singer dancing alone in a field, and if their partner can't smile and appreciate their joy even when they are apart, it shows a lack of love. The singer also mentions the scenario where they might leave their partner but their tears still fall, indicating that their partner may not love them for who they are but rather for possessing them. Similarly, when the singer shows vulnerability and their partner sees it as weakness, it is a sign that their partner wants to own them, not love them.

The chorus repeats the line, "Då är det inte kärlek," emphasizing the singer's sentiment that possessiveness is not love. The bridge of the song asks if their partner can enjoy longing for and loving the singer while still allowing them to be independent. The song concludes with a reiteration that if all their partner desires is to own them, then it's not true love.
