Song Meaning of “En sång från Amerika” by Lasse Stefanz
“En sång från Amerika” tells the story of a man who has left his beloved in America for a life in Sweden. Though he cherishes the memories of his time together in America and of his sweetheart, he struggles to feel at home in his new life in Sweden.
He speaks of his heart being filled with longing for the moments they had together, and his deep desire to be with her again. He expresses his feelings of loss and his longing for the stars, smiling faces, and sweet songs of America.
The man finds himself homesick in a cold and unfamiliar country, feeling that he has traded in his freedom and culture for a metronomic everyday life with no joy. He expresses his sadness that he can no longer live a free and wild life with his love in America.
As the man winds down his tale, he finds solace in the memories and the moments they shared together in America. He still feels the power of their time together, and using this power, he continues to live on, despite the sadness of being far away from his beloved.
