Glem de regnfulle damene
deLillos Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

La oss dra ut og fiske Per
Ring og si at du er syk
Abbor til far hyse til mor
Ørret til forrett og torsk født ifjor
Hva sier du til det Per

Glem de regnfulle damene i regnet Per
Glem regningene og dagene
De kyniske dagene
Jeg har ingen drømmer lenger selv
Verken når jeg sover eller våker
Men jeg lover
Bedre vind
Ute på sjøen

Du kommer ikke til å kjenne igjen degselv
Når vi kommer tilbake i morgen kveld

La oss dra ut og fiske Per
Jeg kan se deg der du sitter i båten og ler
En liten en på lomma
Kaffe på termos
Og maten den drar vi opp fra vannet
Fra vannet
Vannet
Fra vannet




Vannet
Fra vannet

Overall Meaning

The song "Glem de regnfulle damene" by deLillos speaks about the importance of forgetting about the mundane aspects of life, such as bills and rainy days and taking some time out to go fishing. The singer is urging Per to come along on this adventure, promising him a good catch and the opportunity to forget all his worries. The lyrics describe the types of fish they hope to catch, such as perch and trout, and the meals they can make from them, such as fish stew and smoked fish.


The chorus reminds Per that he will not recognize himself when he returns from the fishing trip, suggesting that this experience will be transformative and rejuvenating. The singer himself confesses to having no dreams of his own anymore, but he still promises Per that they will have a better time out at sea than they would at home. The repetition of the phrase "fra vannet" ("from the water") at the end reinforces the idea that they will find sustenance and renewal from the natural world rather than from their everyday lives.


Overall, this song encourages listeners to take a break from their routines and seek solace in nature, as a way of recharging and finding meaning in life. It also celebrates the simple pleasures of outdoor activities, such as fishing, and the joys of camaraderie and shared experiences.
