Hon sku in på dialys
En sån vän
Jag hade en vän
Till slut hjälpte ingen medicin
En sån vän
Jag stod vid stationen
Slog gnistor på banvallen när vi tog i varandra
En vind var min vän
Både storm och ljuvlig bris
En sån vän
Ett regn var min vän
Fyllde rännorna
Precis en sån vän
Jag stod vid stationen
När hon kom med ett gammalt juni-tåg
Slog gnistor på banvallen när vi tog i varandra
Jag hade en vän
Där på grusplanen
En allvädersvän
Jag hade en vän
Nere vid pumphuset
En allvädersvän
Jag stod vid stationen
När hon kom med ett gammalt juni-tåg
Det slog gnistor på banvallen när vi tog i varandra
Jag hade en vän
Där i björnparken
En allvädersvän
Jag hade en vän
Där i Sandviken en
En allvädersvän
The song "Ett juni-tåg" by Vasas Flora och Fauna explores the theme of friendship and the emotions associated with losing a loved one. The lyrics depict the singer reminiscing about various friends and the special moments they shared.
In the first verse, the singer talks about a close friend who required dialysis. Despite medical treatments, her condition did not improve, indicating a sense of helplessness and despair. This verse highlights the vulnerability of human relationships and the inevitable struggles that come with them.
The second verse describes the singer standing at a train station, waiting for their friend to arrive on an old June train. The imagery of sparks flying on the railway and the warmth of their embrace suggest a strong emotional connection and a reunion after a long separation. This moment captures the excitement and joy of reuniting with someone dear.
The third verse introduces another type of friend, the wind. The wind is depicted as both a powerful storm and a gentle breeze. This personification symbolizes the unpredictable nature of friendships and the different ways they impact our lives. Additionally, rain is mentioned as a friend that fills the gutters, possibly symbolizing the cleansing and purifying effect of friendships.
The final verse continues to emphasize the significance of friendships in different locations, such as the gravel field and the pump house. These friends are described as "all-weather friends," suggesting their loyalty and support in all circumstances. The mention of the bear park and Sandviken adds a sense of nostalgia and specific memories associated with these places, reinforcing the idea that friendships are intertwined with our experiences and surroundings.
Overall, "Ett juni-tåg" conveys a bittersweet reflection on the complexity and fragility of human connections. It explores the longing for connection, the joy of reunion, and the lasting impact and memories that friendships leave behind, even in the face of loss.
