This is a masterpiece traditional folk rock song.Norway must send thisin Eurovision2024

[@ThaGamingMisfit]

You got your wish and you're so right ! This is the type of song I wish would ever win Eurovision, powerful, energetic, great unique sound and voice. Yes My winner for 2024 already !

[@NezyVenus]

Thank you so much for the reaction from Norway! My family knows them personally, and they always deliver on stage. I really hope they win 🥰

[@villstyringen1096]

Gåte will win for Norway with Ulveham (wolf clothes). Gåte is by far the best entry. Gåte has been here for 25 years, released many albums, tons of videoes on KZbin. Stage performance is their strenght.

I really hope so as it looks from the outside of Norway that's a good example of what Norways music szene has to offer beside Alan Walkeror the normal Pop or EDM kind of stuff to expect. I think that's a way to get better jury votes but it's not as save to get qualified woth the televotes as like MY AI. Can't wait to see how it looks live! Germany send last year an very established band but without any TV experience the staging and performance wasn't the best.... we ended up last. So that's nothing I wish for Gåte. 🍀

I have seen them live four times (the last time 2 1/2 months ago in Oslo) and I can confirm that they are an excellent live band! People who are in doubt should watch the live clips of "Knut Liten" and "Rideboll & Gullborg" on Gåte's own youtube-channel or this spectacular live rendition of "Margit Hjukse": kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZ-xm3Wpa7p_oqc

A ham means casting a spell. It’s based on a song from the Middle ages. Long story, but a stepmother is jealous and cast a spell (ham) on her stepdaughter. Every time she is still liked by people, in the end she makes the girl into a wolf who lives in the woods. The only way to break the spell is if she drinks her brother’s blood. One day the stepmother pass the woods and the girl/wolf eats the stepmother’s heart. The twist is that’s she’s pregnant with a boy, therefore she drinks her brother’s blood and is free from the spell.

Ham means skin of an animal... Like Uleham meaning the skin (with hair) of a wolf

The language is old Norwegian, so it wasn’t strange that you didn’t understood everything.

[@user-tf5qr7fy2i]

The lyrics are New Norwegian not Old Norse.

[@oh515]

@@user-tf5qr7fy2i You are right about Old Norse. I meant to write Old Norwegian ‘Gammelnorsk.’ Old Norse means of course ‘Norrønt.’ But it isn’t ‘New Norwegian’ either. This is an older version of a Norwegian dialect. It doesn’t become ‘Nynorsk’ just because some words are similar. I haven’t counted, but it looks like most of this words have never been in a Nynorsk dictionary. In this sentence it isn’t a single word in Nynorsk: “De totte mi stimoder vere vest.” It’s much older than Nynorsk. Eg va meg so liti ei møy Mi moder ho monne på barseng døy Stimoder skapt meg i gangari grå Så sendte ho meg ti kongens går Så skapte ho meg i eit liti svær Ho bau meg fara i mannefær Så skapte ho meg i ei liti nål Så sende ho meg av ti skræddarens går De totte mi stimoder vere vest at alle dei gillaste bruka meg mest) Så skapte ho meg i ein ulve grå Ho sa' at eg sille på skogjen gå ho sa at eg sil ikkje få bot Før eg fekk drukkjin min broders blod Nie møyar dei rei i ring Mi stimoder rei innar i kring så tok eg hennar kåpa blå Og rykte (eg) hennar av gangaren grå så reiv eg ut hennes vistri sie Så hennes blod de sprang så vie så reiv eg ut hennas hjarterot (så) eg fekk drukkji min broders blod

@@user-tf5qr7fy2i Når var eller ble dette nynorsk? ‘De totte mi stimoder vere vest’ Det er dialekt. Sjekk det ut selv. Det er ingenting på nynorsk som heter ‘totte’ med noe meiningsfylt til konteksten. Det er ingenting som heter ‘stimoder’ på nynorsk. I beste fall får det denne betydningen på bokmål: ‘De suger/patter min stemor være vest,’ eller ‘De drar/rykker/sliter/napper min stemor være vest.’ Det gir ingen mening. Dessuten er det ord her som ikke finnes på nynorsk (stimoder) samt at pronomen sitter feil grammatisk. Det er likevel ikke alt som kan påpekes.

[@user-tf5qr7fy2i]

Denne folkefortellingen er fra Telemark, og teksten har, slik det fremstår for meg, dialektale innslag av telemarksdialekt. Allikevel vil jeg betegne dette som nynorsk. Lyrikken er på verken gammelnorsk eller norrønt språk. Jeg har selv bodd i Telemark i en årrekke og har også hatt nynorsk i skolen som sidemål, slik de fleste andre. For meg virker lyrikken til Ulveham som ganske alminnelig nynorsk, dog ispedd enkelte dialektale ord.
