Eurovision 1986 Norway:
Ketil Stokkan - "Romeo"
Romeo
Æ huske første gang du ba mæ hjem
Æ va' sjenert, men amorøs
Nu skulle lidenskapen lokkes frem
De' va' før seint å bli nervøs
Æ kjøpte blomster og lånte mæ klær
Førr å vise mitt sanne begjær
Men da æ ønske 'velkommen ombord'
Fikk æ høre et par velvalgte ord:
Romeo, Romeo
Gudene skal vite at du aldri blir en
Romeo, Romeo
Prøv å ta de' me' ro
Æ gjør' førsøk på å førføre dæ
Du ba om tid tel å førstå
Min største lykke va' å to på dæ
Min største dumhet va' å klå
Æ spelte rollen som elsker og narr
I et håp om at vi sku' bli et par
Men da du så at æ venta mæ mer
Fikk æ høre om en kjent kavaler
Romeo, Romeo
Gudene skal vite at du aldri blir en
Romeo, Romeo
Prøv å ta de' me' ro
Romeo, Romeo
Gudene skal vite at du aldri blir en
Romeo, Romeo
Prøv å ta de' me' ro
Og da æ lå på mine knær og ba
Kom du i mot mæ og sa…
Du sa:
Romeo, Romeo
Gudene skal vite at du aldri blir en
Romeo, Romeo
Prøv å ta de' me' ro…
…meo, Romeo, gudene ѕkal vite at du aldri blir en
Romeo, Romeo
Prøv å tа de' me' ro
Romeo
Romeo
I remember the first time you asked me over
I was shy, but in the mood for love
Now the passion was to be tempted out
It was too late to get nervous
I bought flowers and borrowed clothes
To show my true desire
But when I said 'welcome on board'
I got to hear a few well-chosen words:
Romeo, Romeo
The Gods shall know that you never will become a
Romeo, Romeo
Try to take it easy
I made attempts at seducing you
You asked for time to understand
My greatest pleasure was to touch you
My biggest stupidity was to feel you up
I played the part of lover and joker
In the hope that we would become a couple
But when you saw that I expected more
I got to hear of a well-known partner
Romeo, Romeo
The Gods shall know that you never will become a
Romeo, Romeo
Try to take it easy
Romeo, Romeo
The Gods shall know that you never will become a
Romeo, Romeo
Try to take it easy
And when I fell down on my knees and begged
You came towards me and said…
You said:
Romeo, Romeo
The Gods shall know that you never will become a
Romeo, Romeo
Try to take it easy
…meo, Romeo, the Gods shall know that you never will become a
Romeo, Romeo
Try to take it eаѕy
Romeo
Romeo
I still remember when I asked you out
How I was shivering inside
While I was ready to believe and doubt
You made me swallow all my pride
I bought you flowers and dressed like a prince
Just to show you that I was sincere
But when I thought: "This is where it begins"
You would whisper goodbye in my ear
Romeo, Romeo
Heaven knows you'll never get to be another
Romeo, Romeo
Time to ramble and roll
I tried so hard to make you change your mind
You needed time to be assured
Must keep myself from goin' 'cross the line
That's one mistake I can't afford
I played the part of the fool and the clown
Couldn't see you were turning me down
But every time I got up to ask why
You would give me a familiar reply:
Romeo, Romeo
Heaven knows you'll never get to be another
Romeo, Romeo
Time to ramble and roll
Romeo, Romeo
Heaven knows you'll never get to be another
Romeo, Romeo
Time to ramble and roll
Went on my knees and told you heart to heart:
"Take me or tear me apart"
Romeo, Romeo
Heaven knows you'll never get to be another
Romeo, Romeo
Time to ramble and ro…
…meo, Romeo, Heaven knowѕ you'll never get to be another
Romeo, Romeo
Time to ramble аnd roll
Romeo
