Hjemme Meaning & Lyrics (Gabrielle)
Gabrielle writes about old friends and the sea by her childhood house. She mentions, ‘Five hundred kilometers away, I keep turning back constantly,’ describing the pull of her past. The performer uses simple, touching imagery to convey the pain of lost time and the hope of not forgetting where she came from.
Eg Har Tenkt Paa Gamle VennerI’ve been thinking about old friends,
Gamle Kjente De Som Var Der Foer Eg Droold acquaintances who were there before I left,
Paa Alt Som E Det Samme Og Alt Som Forsvant Og Pyntet Paa Tidenabout everything that’s the same and all that vanished and polished over time,
Sjoen Ved Husetthe sea by the house.
Og Paa Vinduet MotAnd on the window facing
Veien Til Oyen Der Eg Samlet Alle Feilthe road to the island where I gathered all the mistakes
Eg Aldri Rakk Rette OppI never managed to set right,
Femhundre Kilometer Vekkfive hundred kilometers away.
Snur Meg Tilbake I Ett SettI keep turning back constantly,
Der E Det Lettere Aa Se Alt Som Ewhere it’s easier to see everything for what it is.
