Eurovision 1973 Norway:
Bendik Singers - "It's Just a Game"
It's Just a Game
Pour chercher la femme ne fais pas de drame
Oh, when we pet, don't you get all upset
Ne dis pas "mon âme", it's just a game
It's a game, place your bet, play the game
Messieurs et Mesdames, faites vos jeux, it's just a game
Come on and join us
It's a game of girl-and-boyness
Pour chercher la femme ne fais pas de drame
So when we pet, I won't get all upset
Ne dis pas "mon âme", it's just a game
It's a game, place your bet, play the game
Messieurs et Mesdames, faites vos jeux, it's just a game
O mamma mia
Don't make a big hassle
Let's not build a castle
Caro querido mine
I love you
O, je t'aime, je t'aime
M'aimez-vous?
Yes, I do
Always, toujours, yeah, fine
So don't you upset her, stay loose and just pet her
Chercher la femme, ce n'est pas un drame
Keep cool and you'll get her, it's just a game
Alors, messieurs-dames, un game
You'll find it's much better, keep in mind it's just a game
Come on and live now
Give all you can give now, live and give and play the game
Oui, Messieurs-dames, un game
So don't you upset her, keep cool and you'll get her
Hey, cats can play house here, but who is playing the mouse here?
Oh, what a game, it's just a game
So it's no wrong
To sing this song
'Cause it has a moral
It's to love and not to quarrel
It's really much better
Stay loose and just pet her
Keep cool and you'll get her
It's just a game
Quel jeu, mon Dieu, mon Dieu, quel jeu
We're giving our all and just living and balling
O goeie genade
Don't make a big hassle
No, don't build a castle
Sag nur "Ich liebe dich"
Yekiri
Dragi, rakkaani
Yekiri
O chérie
Klingt ja so schön für mich
So, don't you fret, on your mark, now get set
Pour chercher la femme me fais pas de drame
Ne dis pas "mon âme", it's just a game
Come on, make like a jet, 'cause this
Messieurs et Mesdames, faites vos jeux, it's just a game
Game's a way to catch her
Come, darlin', mo chuisle, come, mo chuisle, play the game
Oui, messieurs-dames, un game
Oh, what a game, it's just a game
Oui, oui, chéri
Oh, we can see
L'amour… love's a game so…
Mmm… skål!
It's Just a Game
Oh, when we pet, don't you get all upset
Don't make a drama out of looking for a woman
Don't talk about "soulmates", it's just a game

Mmm… hаppy
Å for et spill
Å, hun er fin, tenk om hun kan bli min
Han kjenner teknikken, han demper musikken
Snart demper han lyset, å, for et spill
Jeg får gå varsomt frem, jeg må
Han må ikke se at det er det jeg gjerne vil
Være litt forsiktig
Bare så hun ikke ser at
Å, han er sen, men han er ganske pen
Jeg kjenner teknikken og demper musikken
Snart demper jeg lyset, å, for et spill
Tror han jeg er av sten, eller?
Tenk om hun forsto hva jeg så hjertens gjerne vil
Oi, nu kommer hånden
Hva skal jeg si til ham?
Jeg må være kjærlig
Hei lille ungen min
For en munn
For en munn du har
La meg få
La meg nå
Sveve høyt i det blå
Å, hun er pen, fine ben, men litt sen
Han kjenner teknikken, han demper musikken
Der slukker han lyset, å, for et spill
Tror hun jeg har vært lur? Blir hun
Han spreller i garnet, hipp hurra, jeg vant mitt spill
Sur når hun oppdager
Hun spreller i garnet, hipp hurra, jeg vant mitt spill
Å, stakkars gutt, han er vill
Du tror at du vinner, se øynene skinner
Katt leker med musen, men hvem av oss blir pusen?
Å, for et spill, å, for et spill
Hva kan jeg få?
Jeg vet jeg må
Være litt forsiktig
Bare så hun ikke ser at
Jeg leker og leker, jeg finner på streker
Jeg pirker og preker, å, for et spill
Å, for et spill, å, for et spill
Du kjenner teknikken og demper musikken
Oi, nu kommer hånden
Hva skal jeg si til ham?
Jeg må være kjærlig
Hei lille ungen min
For en munn
For en munn du har
La meg få
La meg nå
Sveve høyt i det blå
Å, hun er pen, fine ben, men litt sen
Han kjenner teknikken, han demper musikken
Der slukker han lyset, å, for et spill
Tror hun jeg har vært lur? Blir hun
Han spreller i garnet, hipp hurra, jeg vant mitt spill
Sur når hun oppdager
Hun spreller i garnet, hipp hurra, jeg vant mitt spill
Å, stakkars gutt, han er vill
Å, for et spill, å, for et spill
Hva kan jeg få
Hva kаn jeg nå?
Hele livet er et…
Mmm… ѕpill
