Дr landet dдr du och jag fцddes
Blonda barn med pingisrack
Och den allra fцrsta snцn
Framtidsvisslan tjцt
Och den tjuter nu igen
Slеr lock fцr цronen
Ingen hцr hur klubban slеr
Landet vi fцddes I
Staden vi ser дr staden
Dдr du och jag fцddes
Sе vacker och desperat
Bibeln finns som tidning hдr
Och I Rosengеrd brinner det dagis
Som mobben har viskat om
Inga jдvla bongos I vеran sеng
Det hдr дr landet vi fцddes I
Landet vi fцddes I
Landet vi fцddes I
Landet vi ser
Дr landet dдr du och jag fцddes
Och du цnskar du kдnde nеt
Av kдrlek av samhцrighet
Vi kysser varann
Och somnar med fцnsterna цppna
Blir vдckta av en vеldsam storm
Den drar genom landet vi fцddes I
Kakan vдxer
Men fцr vem dе
Bara fler hдr som stеr pе tе
Fцr att se nеt
Fцr att bli sedda
Fцr att rдdda en drцm
Medan det finns nеn att rдdda
Landet vi fцddes I
Landet vi fцddes I
Landet vi fцddes I
Landet vi fцddes i
The song "Landet Vi Föddes I" by Tomas Andersson Wij describes the strong connection between the singer and the place where they were born. The lyrics begin by describing the landscape and the memories associated with it, such as playing ping pong and experiencing the first snow as a child. The sound of a whistle, possibly from a train or a factory, is heard again and evokes memories from the past. The chorus reinforces the idea that this is the land where the singer and their loved ones were born.
As the song progresses, the focus shifts to the city where the singer was also born. The language becomes more poignant as the singer describes the beauty and desperation of the city. The mention of a burning daycare in Rosengård, a suburb of Malmö, hints at social and political issues in Sweden. The mentioning of "bongos" in the song may suggest a reference to the 1960s beatnik culture, a subculture that focuses on living outside mainstream culture.
The final verse of the song describes the passing of time and the changes that have taken place as the singer and their loved ones have grown older. The lyrics suggest that despite these changes, the bond to the place where they were born remains strong. The imagery of a storm that sweeps through the countryside could represent the challenges and difficulties that the place has faced but also highlights the resilience of the people who live there. Overall, the song highlights the sense of belonging that stems from the place where we were born and how it shapes who we are.
