~~~ Lyrics ~~~
Eg var meg så ven og fager ei møy
Med stimoder vond, mi moder ho døy
Ho skapte meg om til eit svær og ei nål
Og sende meg av ti kongens gård
Og vreida mi stimoder kjende mest
Når alle dei gillaste lika meg best
Ho gav meg ein ham som ulve grå
Ho svor meg til einsam i skogjen gå
Og aldri blir eg heil og god
Før eg fær drukkje min broders blod
~~~ Lyrics in English ~~~
I was a very fine and beautiful maiden
With an evil stepmother. My mother had died.
She transformed me into a sword and a needle
And sent me off to the King’s estate.
The wrath of my stepmother grew
When all the fine people loved me most.
She gave me the hide of a grey wolf
And forced me to go into the woods alone.
And I would never be whole and good
Before I had drunk of my brother’s blood.

The step mother made the girl into a wolf (after several other cruel curses) and she could only break it by drinking her brothers blood. The girl/young woman wouldn’t do that but when she after lonely years living in the forest as a wolf later met the stepmother again she killed her and by that unknowingly she broke the curse she had been put under because the stepmother was pregnant with her half brother.

If you truly are interested in the lyrics of other languages it’s not very difficult today to search for a translation or some text explaining the lyrics.

@@erithionthis is sung in dialectal nynorsk, not old Norse. Old Norse is almost identical to Icelandic, which isn’t intelligible to modern day Norwegians. This is dialectal Nynorsk and should be understandable to Norwegian when they see the lyrics written down.

​@@ladythalia227 I can't recall where I drew this from. It was years ago. Indeed, having checked 'kara tu omna', for example, I see people mention Nordmøre and Trøndersk. While in case of Ulveham even my B1 level in Bokmål is sufficient for some basic comprehension. On the other hand, the difference in pronunciation with Icelandic is apparent even to my Ukrainian ear, never mind the written text. Checked out the lyrics of an Icelandic band Rökkurró that I like. In their Flugdrekar and Sólin Mun Skína I barely understood a couple of words, except pronouns/particles. So yep, du har rett! Thanks for clarification. You are Norwegian, I presume.

[@evahelen3511]

Thank you si nice ! Norway Gåte Ulveham ,Many people are not aware of what she actually sings, which in my opinion is a cruel text from the old days. And i am from Norway ! The text copied from newspaper today: She summarizes "Ulveham", based on an old medieval ballad, as the story of an evil stepmother who casts a curse on her stepdaughter - who turns into a wolf running in the forest forever. She only loses her wolf's hide if she drinks her own brother's blood. "There will be a kind of happy - but cruel - ending when she meets the stepmother on horseback in the forest, throws herself at her, rips out her heart and drinks the blood. Because the stepmother is pregnant with her brother - thereby the curse is lifted.

I cry every time I listen to this. I'm just so overwhelmed with emotion. I'm a long time eurofan, and this is the first time I'm so touched by an ESC entry! If this isn't top 5, I don't know what is. I mean I would like to think this is the winner, but I understand that it may be a bit too underground for the mass voter. But I will vote the hell out of it! Cheers from 🇺🇦

No wonder. Even if you're Norwegian you won't understand much, as it's in a rather archaic dialect. (For their original contribution they sang in old Norse, but had to modify that for the national final).

How fantastic! So big and earthy, and how great to hear the Norwegian language again, for the first time since the equally-fantastic "Alvedansen"! I love this, this is a masterpiece, and it's the first song I've heard that gives me winner vibes. Good luck, Norway!

[@In_my_own_mind]

For those who doesnt understand what the song is about: Gåte bases their music on traditional music, vocal folk music with texts from very old times. "Ulveham" is based on a text from the Middle Ages. The song is a story of a young maiden that undergoes a series of injustices, but by upholding justice and goodness, even in the toughest trials, she triumphs over evil forces and breaks the curse placed upon her. A stepmother is very jealous of her stepdaughter who everyone loves and thinks is very beautiful, so the stepmother tries to turn her into different things by casting a spell on her….a needle, a knife, a sword. Whatever she turns her stepdaughter into, people still like it, so in the end she casts a wolf spell on her and banishes her into the forest, and the only way she can get out of the bewitchment is to drink her brother's blood. Thats how the stories were from that time. Later, the evil stepmother goes into the forests and meets the wolf (stepdaughter) and the wolf rips out the heart of the stepmother and eats it, and then it turns out that the stepmother was pregnant with her half-brother, so she drinks her brother's blood and becomes free from the spell. It is simply about free yourself from someone who has power over you, and you do it on your own terms. The way she sings her "shouting notes" is from traditional Norwegian folk music and can be described as some kind of calling sound «lokking», a sound which is supposed to reach far in nature (forest or mountain) so it needs to be loud. Its kind of a Scandinavian yodling-sound used also to call for a herd (sheep, cows etc) but also a calling sound used in folk tradition or by super natural beings like the «Huldra» to «trick» humans and animals to appear in the forest/mountains.

[@maksimlavrik6801]

Wow, ancient tales are so brutal and sophisticated in their brutality. But it was super interesting to know. Thank you for the explanation. The song sounds different to me after knowing this.

[@TheAlistardragon]

[@22seanathan22]

probably the most detailed, sensible and interesting Eurovision Song Contest-related comment I've read anywhere (and believe you me I've read a few)

[@extraad-ht1eu]

I recognized the story from the Swedish band "Garmarna" and their song "Vedergällningen" from the 1990s. Only in that story it is a young man, rather than a maiden who is put under the spell by the evil stepmother. After drinking his brother's blood he turns into a "Knight, bold and good."

Найбільш незрозуміло для мене в Євробаченні 2024 року - це місце, яке зайняла Норвегія. Дуже потужна пісня! Аж мурахи по шкірі! Відчувається сильний вітер, який пронизує все тіло, колючі бризки холодного моря, енергія блискавки! А подивіться що виробляють гітаристи! Неймовірно! Блискуче! І явно - недооцінено! Хочеться сказати: незважайте на місце. Ви - прекрасні! The most unclear thing for me in Eurovision 2024 is the place that Norway took. Very powerful song! Goosebumps! You can feel the strong wind that pierces the whole body, the prickly spray of the cold sea, the energy of lightning! And look at what guitarists produce! Unbelievable! Bright! And clearly - underestimated! I want to say: don't mind the place. You're beautiful!
