Charlie Brown
The Pinks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Han spelade gitarr och brorsan lirade kam
Snart var gården fylld av glada barn
Som dansade och diggade under stoj och glam
Och de sa:
"Hey, spela mera Charlie
Hey, spela mera Charlie Brown, Charlie Brown"
Hey, spela mera Charlie
Hey, spela mera Charlie Brown, Charlie Brown
Växte och blev stor, startade ett band
Han spelade gitarr och brorsan lirade sax
Skaffade sig en buss som rymde allt
Drog land och rike runt jobbade till max
Spelade på schak nere vid ån i Vittinge och Tierp och Östervåla med
Och i Härnösand, Flen och Skanör där hördes ju publiken böna och be
Ja de sa:
Okej
"Hey, spela mera Charlie
Hey, spela mera Charlie Brown, Charlie Brown"
Hey, spela mera Charlie
Hey, spela mera Charlie Brown, Charlie Brown
Så en vacker dag, ringde en man
Från ett skivbolag, producent var han
Studion var fin, med bandspelare stor
Med mången kanal, fyra minst per man
Och plattan släpptes ut, pressades ner
Han spelade gitarr och brorsan lirade bas
Svensktoppsettan låg, snart varje sång
Som skrivits av hans far som hoppade i extas
De sa:
En gång till
"Hey, spela mera Charlie
Hey, spela mera Charlie Brown, Charlie Brown"
Hey, spela mera Charlie
Hey, spela mera Charlie Brown, Charlie Brown
Hey, spela mera Charlie...
The lyrics to The Pinks' song Charlie Brown describe the journey of a musician who started out playing in a small group with his brother on the kam (a type of harmonica) and guitar. Soon, their playing drew a crowd of happy children who danced and enjoyed the music. As he grew older, the musician started a band with his brother on the saxophone, and they travelled across the country, performing in various towns and cities. Their music became popular, and they received a call from a record producer, who offered them the chance to record in a professional studio. The resulting album contained many songs written by their father, and it topped the charts. Throughout the song, the repeated chorus, which calls for the musician to play more, serves as a tribute to the joy and energy that he brings to his performances.
The lyrics of Charlie Brown are characterized by a sense of exuberance and celebration, which is reflected in the music as well. The upbeat tempo and catchy melody complement the message of the song, which is one of passion and fun. At its heart, the lyrics are about the transformative power of music, and how it can bring people together and create a sense of community. The song celebrates the journey of the musician, from his early days playing in a backyard to his success as a recording artist, while emphasizing the importance of staying true to the joy and love of music that fueled his journey in the first place.
