Svart hatt
Torkel Rasmusson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mamma har en prickig klänning och en svart hatt
Där ute på gården springer det en svart katt
Katten hoppar upp i granen
Vatten droppar ner från kranen
Katten hoppar upp igranen
Vatten droppar ner från kranen
Häll alla gamla slattar i en tratt
Mamma har på sin svarta hatt
Häll alla gamla slattar i en tratt
Mamma har sin svarta hatt
Har sin svarta hatt
Mamma står vid spisen och kokar vit sås
Där ute på himlen flyger det en vit mås
Måsen flyger över kullen
Såsen kokar i kastrullen
Måsen flyger över kullen
Såsen kokar i kastrullen
Vad varmt det är det bränns kom hit och blås
Mamma står och kokar sås
Vad varmt det är det bränns kom hit och blås
Mamma står och kokar sås




Står och kokar sås
Har sin svarta hatt

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Torkel Rasmusson's song "Svart Hatt" depict a scene of domesticity and mundanity, with the singer describing everyday occurrences in his surroundings. The song begins by describing the singer's mother, who is wearing a polka dot dress and a black hat. Meanwhile, a black cat is running around in the yard and jumping up into a tree. The sound of water dripping from a faucet can also be heard. The chorus urges the listener to pour all the leftover bits of food into a funnel and into the pot, while the mother continues to wear her black hat.


The second verse describes the mother standing by the stove and making a white sauce while a white seagull flies across the sky. The seagull is described as flying over a hill while the sauce boils in a pot. The singer then remarks on how hot it is near the stove and asks someone to come and blow on the pot to cool it down. The song ends with the singer repeating the chorus and noting that his mother still wears her black hat.


Overall, the lyrics of "Svart Hatt" seem to be about the simple yet comforting routines of everyday life. The imagery of the black hat and the repetition of pouring food scraps into the pot suggest a sense of frugality and practicality. The focus on domestic tasks such as cooking and cleaning suggest a traditional and perhaps old-fashioned way of life.
