Just nu! was the Swedish entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 1980 in The Hague performed by Tomas Ledin.
The song talks about a man tired of the monotonous life in the city, in that moment he wants to live his life, he wants to feel the air in his lungs and perhaps to travel to Paris.
The song was performed 8th, following Denmark and preceding Switzerland. At the close of voting, it finished in 10th place with 47 points.
Lyrics[]
Han är trött på stan, det händer ingenting
Det mesta är sig likt här runt omkring
Veckan kryper fram, helgen springer förbi
Samma snack varje dag om att göra sig fri
Just nu vill jag leva, just nu
Just nu vill jag känna, just nu
Känna luften i mina lungor
Känna blodet som pulserar
Känna ljuset i mina ögon
Känna tiden som passerar
Han vill dra iväg, kanske ner till Paris
Och hitta äventyret på något vis
Inte sitta här på stans konditori
Och låta tankarna, bara fladdra förbi
Just nu vill jag leva, just nu
Just nu vill jag känna, just nu
Känna luften i mina lungor
Känna blodet som pulserar
Känna ljuset i mina ögon
Känna tiden som passerar
Känna luften i mina lungor (Just nu)
Känna blodet som pulserar (Just nu)
Känna ljuset i mina ögon (Just nu)
Känna tiden som passerar (Just nu)
Just nu vill jag leva, just nu
Just nu vill jag känna, just nu
Känna luften i mina lungor (Just nu)
Känna blodet som pulserar (Just nu)
Känna ljuset i mina ögon (Just nu)
Känna tiden som passerar (Just nu)
Just nu vill jag leva, just nu
Just nu vill jag känna, just nu
Känna luften i mina lungor (Just nu)
Känna blodet som pulserar (Just nu)
Känna ljuset i mina ögon (Just nu)
Känna tiden som passerar (Just nu)
He’s tired of the city, nothing happens
Everything is as usual around here
The weekdays creep by, the weekend flies by
The same talk every day about breaking free
Right now I want to live, right now
Right now I want to feel, right now
Feel the air in my lungs
Feel the blood pumping
Feel the light in my eyes
Feel time passing
He wants to go away, perhaps down to Paris
And find adventure somehow
And not just sitting here at the local café
Just letting the thoughts flutter by
Right now I want to live, right now
Right now I want to feel, right now
Feel the air in my lungs
Feel the blood pumping
Feel the light in my eyes
Feel time passing
Feel the air in my lungs (Right now)
Feel the blood pumping (Right now)
Feel the light in my eyes (Right now)
Feel time passing (Right now)
Right now I want to live, right now
Right now I want to feel, right now
Feel the air in my lungs (Right now)
Feel the blood pumping (Right now)
Feel the light in my eyes (Right now)
Feel time passing (Right now)
Right now I want to live, right now
Right now I want to feel, right now
Feel the air in my lungs (Right now)
Feel the blood pumping (Right now)
Feel the light in my eyes (Right now)
Feel time passing (Right now)
