Eurovision 2009 Norway:
Alexander Rybak - "Fairytale"
Fairytale
Years ago, when I was younger
I kinda liked a girl I knew
She was mine and we were sweethearts
That was then, but then it's true
I'm in love with a fairytale
Even though it hurts
'Cause I don't care if I lose my mind
I'm already cursed
Every day we started fighting
Every night we fell in love
No one else could make me sadder
But no one else could lift me high above
I don't know what I was doing
When suddenly, we fell apart
Nowadays, I cannot find her
But when I do, we'll get a brand new start
I'm in love with a fairytale
Even though it hurts
'Cause I don't care if I lose my mind
I'm already cursed
She's a fairytale, yeah…
Even though it hurts
'Cause I don't care if I lose my mind
I'm alreаdy curѕed
Eventyr
Noen års siden, når jeg var yngre
Jeg likte litt en jente jeg kjente
Hun var min, og vi var kjærester
Det var da, men det var jo sant
Jeg er forelsket med et eventyr
Selv om det svir
Fordi jeg bryr meg ikke, vis jeg mister hodet
Jeg er alt forbanna
Vær dag vi starta å kjempe
Vær natt vi ble forelska
Ingen andre kunne gjøre meg tristere
Men ingen andre kunne løfte meg høyt over
Jeg vet ikke hva jeg gjorde
Når plutselig, vi falt fra hverandre
Nå om dagen, Jeg kan ikke finne henne
Men når jeg gjør, vil vi få en ny start
Jeg er forelsket med et eventyr
Selv om det svir
Fordi jeg bryr meg ikke, vis jeg mister hodet
Jeg er alt forbanna
Hun er et eventyr, ja…
Selv om det svir
Fordi jeg bryr meg ikke, vis jeg miѕter hodet
Jeg er alt forbannа
