Olga
The Junkies Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ő lent volt, én itt fenn álltam
Mikor észrevette, hogy megláttam
Táncolt, csillogott szeme a kélytől
Gondoltam semmi se számít
Hagyom magam, ha elcsábít
Ő se várt többet ettől az éjtől

Hideg volt, nem volt kályha
De felmelegített a vodkája

Refr.:
Olga, tudja mi a dolga
Olga, zúghat a Volga
Mert Olga, tudja mi a dolga
Olga, tudja mi a dolga
Kezes, mint egy rabszolga
Ő Olga, aki tudja mi a dolga

Buli után lenn az öltözőben
Nem csalódott senki a nőben
Gondoltam el kéne innen húzni
Elmenni egy nyugisabb helyre
Hogy rátaláljunk a közös nyelvre
Hey, baby tü gávárís páruszki?
Mint egy rossz orosz kislány
Rajta van már a feketelistán

Olga, tudja mi a dolga
Olga, zúghat a Volga
Mert Olga, tudja mi a dolga
Olga, tudja mi a dolga
Kezes, mint egy rabszolga
Ő Olga, aki tudja mi a dolga
Tudja mi a dolga




Tudja mi a dolga
Tudja mi a dolga

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Olga" by The Junkies paint a vivid picture of a night filled with allure, intoxication, and a sense of adventure. The singer stands apart, observing a woman named Olga who captures his attention with her dancing and the spark in her eyes. There's an immediate contrast between their physical positions—she is down below, dancing carefree, while he remains above, perhaps suggesting a sense of detachment or a position of observer. The mention of "nothing matters" reflects a feeling of surrender, as if the singer is willing to go along with whatever this night might bring. Olga appears to be aware of this effect she has, and there's an undercurrent of mutual understanding about the fleeting nature of their meeting, where both do not expect anything profound to emerge from the night.


As the narrative unfolds, the atmosphere becomes more intimate and revealing. The absence of warmth, signified by the "cold" and the lack of a heater, is poignant—adding to the tension of the scene. However, the mention of vodka indicates a remedy for the chill, serving not only as a literal warming agent but also as a metaphor for the warmth that Olga brings into the singer's world. It speaks to the ways in which alcohol can serve as a social lubricant, enhancing emotional connections and temporary escapes from reality. The duality of physical coldness contrasted with emotional warmth encapsulates the essence of nightlife—the exhilaration of feeling alive despite external discomfort.


The chorus reinforces Olga's agency and knowledge of her role, suggesting that she embraces her identity fully. The repeated line "Olga, tudja mi a dolga" (Olga knows her task) implies that Olga has an understanding of her allure and perhaps of the expectations placed upon her in the setting of the nightlife. This repetition creates a hypnotic quality, emphasizing Olga's confidence and the way she navigates her surroundings, much like a force of nature. The metaphorical reference to being "docile like a slave" complicates this dynamic, hinting at a balance between power and subservience in the relationships being portrayed—not only between Olga and the singer but possibly also as a commentary on the societal roles women often inhabit.


Towards the end, there's a shift where the singer contemplates leaving the noisy environment in search of a more private and quiet space. This desire for intimacy suggests a deeper longing beneath the surface excitement; he wishes to connect not just at a superficial level but to find a "common language." However, the mention of the “blacklist” ironically captures the obstacles that the singer faces, possibly indicating past encounters that left a mark on perceptions. In the end, while the atmosphere is filled with promise and plenty of allure, there is also an awareness of transience, as both characters seem aware that this night is fleeting. The lyrics encapsulate a momentary escape from reality, punctuated by human desire, longing, and the bittersweet nature of transient connections.
