Eurovision 1997 Norway:
Tor Endresen - "San Francisco"
San Francisco
Det føles ennå som det var i går
Da alle sang: "Make love, not war "
Og hele verden hadde lengre hår
Det føles som det var i går
Da det å være bror og søster var in
California dreamin'
De store spørsmål og et åpent sinn
Svarene was blowin' in the wind
Oh… kjærlighetstid i San Francisco
Drømmen om fred, en ungdoms vår
Ingen gevær, no war, no disco
Kun vakre blomster i ditt hår
Da alle surfet på en god vibrasjon
Og USA fikk sin man on the moon
Og Jimi Hendrix spilte ild og pasjon
I Woodstock for en ny generasjon
Yeah… da var det sterkt å være ung og fri
Livet hadde bedre tid
Og hele verden hadde lengre hår
Det føles som det var i går
Yeah yeah… kjærlighetstid i San Francisco
Drømmen om fred, en ungdoms vår
Ooh yeah… ingen gevær, no war, no disco
Kun vakre blomster i ditt hår
Over jorden lød Lennons sang:
"Love, love, love "
Med bud om at kjærlighet gjør alle fri
Om vi ikke lar den fare forbi
Kjærlighetstid i San Fran…
Kjærlighetstid i San Francisco
Drømmen om fred, en ungdoms vår
Ooh yeah… ingen gevær, no war, no disco
Kun vakre blomster i ditt…
Kun vakre blomѕter i ditt hår
Oh yeаh…
San Francisco
It still feels like yesterday
When everyone was singing: "Make love, not war "
And the world had longer hair
It feels like yesterday
Being brothers and sisters was in
California dreamin'
Important questions and an open mind
The answers were blowin' in the wind'
Oh… time for love in San Francisco
A dream of peace, a spring of youth
No guns, no war, no disco
Just lovely flowers in your hair
When everybody surfed on a good vibration
USA got their man on the moon
Jimi Hendrix played fire and passion
At Woodstock for a new generation
Yeah… then there was a strong feeling to be young and free
Life had plenty of time
And the whole world had longer hair
It feels like yesterday
Yeah yeah… time for love in San Francisco
A dream of peace, a spring of youth
Ooh yeah… no guns, no war, no disco
Just lovely flowers in your hair
All over the earth Lennon's song was heard:
"Love, love, love"
With the message that love sets everyone free
If we don't let it pass us by
Time for love in San Fran…
Time for love in San Francisco
A dream of peace, a spring of youth
Ooh yeah… no guns, no war, no disco
Just lovely flowers in your…
Just lovely flowerѕ in you hair
Oh yeаh…
San Francisco
I've got a feelin' that I've had before
When you and I made love, not war
And people knew what they were fightin' for
A feelin' that I've had before
Being sisters and brothers was in
California dreaming
And all the questions to everything
The answers were blowin' in the wind
Oh whoa… show me the way to San Francisco
One dream to share, so strong and clear
Ban all the guns, no war, no disco
Just pretty flowers in your hair (Just pretty flowers in your…)
A good vibration in a surfin' tune (good, good, good)
United States got a man on the moon
And Jimi Hendrix made a rockin' typhoon
At Woodstock in the afternoon
Yeah, it was the time to be young and free
Feelin' so groovy
And people knew what they were fightin' for
It's a feelin' that I've had before
Yeah yeah… show me the way to San Francisco
One dream to share, so strong and clear
Ooh yeah… ban all the guns, no war, no disco
Just pretty flowers in your hair
And we were singin' John Lennon's song:
"Love, love, love"
All you need is love to set your spirit free
Don't you know that it's so easy?
Show me the way to San Fran…
Show me the way to San Francisco
One dream to share, so strong and clear
Ooh yeah… ban all the guns, no war, no disco
Just pretty flowers in your…
Just pretty flowerѕ in your hair
Oh yeаh…
