In 1991 the band was completed by the guitarist Lars Lundevall. The new line-up recorded these albums:
Varme mennesker (Warm People) (1991), Neste sommer (Next summer) (1993), Mere (More) (1994), Sent og tidlig (Late and early) (1995), Stakkars (Miserable) (1997), Kast alle papirene (Throw away all the paper) (1999) and Midt i begynnelsen (In the middle of the beginning) (2002). Their debut LP "Suser avgårde" (1986), is regarded as one of their most popular records. The lyrics are very popular because they are very naïve & philosophic. They released their final record in 2002; "Midt i begynnelsen". In 2005, they released a compilation which is named "Festen er ikke over... det er kake igjen." ("The party ain't over... There's more cake left"). New album out now: "Trist å være glad" 2011.
Nå vil vi til Sverige
deLillos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Vi har kjørt båt, buss, fly, tog, taxi og et hundespann
Og litt for mange har fått vår autograf
Og vi har posert for hver eneste lokalavisfotograf
Nå vil vi til Sverige
Popmusikkens land
Ingen farlige veier
Nå vil vi til Sverige
Og høre en svenske si:
Fy fan , ni är jättebra...
Vad häter ni?
Vad häter ni?
Kun etpar timers tur fra Oslo by
Fins det et land med millioner av mennesker
Som minner om oss
Og det er på tide at vi gjør vår lille debut
Det er på tide at svenskene lærer å pugge norsk!
Nå vil vi til Sverige
Popmusikkens land
Ingen farlige veier
Bare masse godis og pytt i pann
Nå vil vi til Sverige
Og høre en svenske si:
Fy fan kanon, ni är jättebra...
Vad häter ni?
Vad häter ni?
Det er på tide at vi gjør noen krav
Og dette er en sang som synges av en skandinav
Nå vil vi til Sverige
Popmusikkens land
Ingen farlige veier
Og de viser alt på hotellkanalen
Fy fan kanon, ni är jättebra...
Vad häter ni?
Vad häter ni?
The song "Nå vil vi til Sverige" by deLillos is a fun and lighthearted tune about the band's desire to travel from their home country of Norway to Sweden. The lyrics describe the band's 15 years of travel throughout Norway, where they have become somewhat famous, with many people requesting their autographs and posing for photos with them. However, the band members feel that it is time to expand their horizons and make their musical debut in Sweden.
The catchy chorus of the song repeats the phrase "Nå vil vi til Sverige" (Now we want to go to Sweden) several times, emphasizing the band's eagerness to visit their neighboring country. They are attracted to Sweden because of its reputation as a land of pop music, with no dangerous roads to navigate as they journey there. They imagine being greeted enthusiastically by Swedish fans who will exclaim "Fy fan, ni är jättebra..." (Holy crap, you guys are great... what's your name?)
The band members joke that it is only a short trip from their home city of Oslo to Sweden, where they will find millions of people who are similar to them. It is time for the Swedes to learn Norwegian, and for the band to make their big debut, showcasing their own brand of Scandinavian music. They believe that Sweden is a land of candy and tasty food, all of which they are eager to taste, while they listen to the sweet sounds of Swedish pop music.
Overall, "Nå vil vi til Sverige" is a fun and upbeat song about cross-cultural exploration and the joy of making music. The band members are excited about the prospect of international travel and look forward to connecting with new fans across the border.
