Eurovision Final

A win for Italy! Wow!!!

And very well-deserved, their song was great! Nice to see something heavy take the prize.

There were so many songs that I liked this year that I couldn't even make a top ten, so overall I'm pretty happy with the results.

Seeing the difference between the jury vote and the televote sure was interesting, though. ...The televoters sure know what's what.

Kind of disappointed that Iceland didn't take the first place, but. This is still good.

TIX - Ut av mørket - Translation

So, though Norway's entry for Eurovision 2021 is in English, there's also a Norwegian version of the song, Ut av mørket. Personally, I like this version better than the English version, Fallen Angel. But then again, I love the way Norwegian language sounds, even when it's a cheesy song, so... bias, what bias. ;)

Anyway, the point is, I was curious to see if the Norwegian lyrics are the same as the English ones, so I grabbed the sangtekst på norsk and translated it. :'D Verdict: The gist is the same, but the actual lines are definitely different!

It's been a long time since I did anything with any material in Norwegian other than formal exercises and Duolingo stuff, so... thanks, TIX, for getting me to study a little, I guess?

Norwegian lyrics under the cut, and my slightly clunky translation follows:

( Ut av mørket )

( Out of the dark )
