    Hi. Im posting to find out what excactly the meaning of the song allt på ett kort is.
    Ive searched the net, but wasnt able to find anyone analyzing this song.

    Also, what does 'allt på ett kort' precisely mean, taken out of the bob hund-context.

    Thank you

  2. Okay, I'll try an give an explanation:

    Swedish lyrics:
    Jag har glömt min första sommar
    Och jag har glömt min första vinter med snö
    Men jag har kvar ett kort av min far

    Och jag har glömt min första fotboll
    Men det är svårt att säga om det spelar någon roll
    Jag har kvar ett kort av

    Och jag har glömt min första cykel
    Men jag har kvar en minnesnyckel av guld
    Och jag har kvar ett kort av min far

    Och jag minns vår första flygtur
    Och jag minns en gång en regnskur
    Jag har kvar ett kort av min far

    Men jag har kvar ett kort av min far.

    English, translated, lyrics:
    I've forgotten my first summer,
    And I've forgotten my first winter, with snow
    But I've kept a picture of my father

    And I've forgotten my first football,
    But it's hard to say if it matters
    I've kept a picture of

    And I've forgotten my first bycycle,
    but I've kept a remeberance-key, out of gold
    And I've kept a picture of my father

    And I remember our first flight
    And I remember, once, a rainfall
    I've kept a picture of my father.

    It could be translated differently, but I think that version... works...
    Anyhow, regarding the title:

    Allt på ett kort, literarily means: All on one card
    However, the word "kort", translates as both "card" and "picture".
    So, Allt på ett kort / All on one card, probably referrs to the expression:
    "Placing all on one card", as well as having all on that photo - all his memories of his childhood, his father.

    That's the essence of the song. His (Thomas Öberg), relationship to his father/childhood/up-bringing, etc.
