"Morgondag" (Tomorrow) is the rousing new single from Swedish folk-pop group Kolonien, a four-member family band from Sweden that has been one of the leading voices of the Swedish folk revival for over a decade. With a sound that blends acoustic roots music with anthemic, sing-along pop, Kolonien has a fresh, appealing sound that brings multiple musical worlds together.
The song address those moments of change, breaking points when there is a transition from darkness to light, which can apply to everything from personal change to political and environmental revolution. The single is from Kolonien's forthcoming album on Cumbancha, to be released in 2022.
lyrics
LYRICS (ENGLISH)
Give me a tomorrow
Warm on my skin
If you smile, I’ll smile
Thought it was just me
But through the night
The dawn of a new day
Give me another hour
I want to stay here
Dawn breathes
The night let go
Promises of something else
Promises of a new day
Take: you can take what you want
There is nothing left here
Forgot what I felt, what I want, what I dreamt
There are no answers here
You can take what you want
I’m the one to walk away
(The one to walk away)
I have given all that was left
And a little bit more
Under my skin, who am I, not yours
I want an answer
Gave all that was left
But wherever you go, I go
(Wherever you go, I go)
You can take what you want
There is nothing left here
Forgot what I felt, what I want, what I dreamt
There are no answers here
You can take what you want
I’m the one to walk away
(The one to walk away)
LYRICS (SWEDISH)
Ge mig en morgondag
Varm inpå huden
Ler du, så ler jag
Trott det var bara jag
Men genom natten
Gryr det en ny dag
Ge mig en timme till
Här vill jag stanna
Gryningen andas
Natten släpper tag
Löften om annat
Lovar en ny dag
Ta, ni kan ta vad vill
Här finns inget kvar
Glömt vad jag känt, vad jag vill, vad jag drömt
Här finns inga svar
Ni kan ta vad ni vill
Men den som går är jag
(Den som går är jag)
Jag har gett allt som finns kvar
Och lite till
Under mitt skinn, vem är jag, inte din
Jag vill ha ett svar
Har gett allt som finns kvar
Men dit du går går jag
(Dit du går går jag)
Ni kan ta vad vill
Här finns inget kvar
Glömt vad jag känt, vad jag vill, vad jag drömt
Här finns inga svar
Ni kan ta vad ni vill
Men den som går är jag
(Den som går är jag)
