[db01031988]

[siguno1]

"Voi voi langt opp i fjellet hører du denne hilsen fra meg" that is not german rogstad its norwegian. I am from norway and this song is not on german......

[TheExcelion]

hahaha you are stupid..I am norwegian and that is NOT german...german and norwegian is NOT the same language...i can't even understand german...stupid

[rubbermodel]

@TheExcelion

You are stupid both!!!!!!!! She is Portuguese or Spanish, neither German nor Norwegian. How can be so silly both? it's clear she sings in Portuguese or Spanish , Norwegian is very diffrent. What a people around the world!!! Ah Ah Ah!!!!!!

[nollydolly99]

@rubbermodel you got to be joking, this is a Norwegian song with a Norwegian singer.

[rubbermodel]

@nollydolly99

of course I did, it's clear is Norwegian Language!!!! By the way; "Voi voi" in Norwegian means "hey Hey" in Italian "voi" means "you". Bye Antonio

[Idasbo]

@rubbermodel - I am from Norway, and I can´t speak a work german or italian... I wonder how I can understand the text of this song perfectly fine,....?? What do you think, rubbermodel?

[rubbermodel]

@Idasbo I head the translation throught a speaker, the singer is very popular I like the expression of her eyes an the song is originally, tipical song you can sing and dance. It deserved more to the Eurovision. Greetings to you and to your "MARVELLOUS" Country. On christmas, Italians say Oslo look like a window of a jewellery!

[TheExcelion]

then you are just stupid..this is not german at all...

[Rogstad]

@TheExcelion

Eh? I am stupid. I KNOW for a fact that this is German. I can communicate German fluently.

" Nora Brockstedt" You just can not get any more German name...

[SagittarianMe]

@Rogstad Are you trying to be funny? Seriously, no one can be that (sorry) stupid...

[MuffoMan]

@Rogstad "" Nora Brockstedt" You just can not get any more German name..."

How about Hans Müller?

[Botafogoplayground]

Oh, my God! That's simply fantastic! I can't believe it: I'm watching Norway's entry @ ESC 1960. Lovely song, grear artist!

[graffer1957]

She looks so old!

[MatHahogg]

@graffer1957

She is too, born in 1923.

[fsounds]

Proud to be Norwegian when this wonder is from my beloved country. For those saying she is german because of her name: She was born Berger, common name in Norway

[heisenfeis]

Skikkelig heftig !

[Morten161283]

This is not dutch or german, its norwegian! You can search Nora Brockstedt in Wikipedia and read a little about her...

[joakimbraseth]

This is not dutch, its norwegian.

[LikeMoah]

On the beginning of the video , the man say , "come from Norway"

and it even say NORWAY on the sign ,

you are a little stuuuuupid !

[Njerheim]

this song is norwegian because i understand what she is singing :) i dont know a word of german

[MrBaddel77]

@Njerheim yes ,youre so right,because i doesnt understand what she was singing and im from germany.by the way ilike this song very much

[herreguda]

The lyrics and music to this song were written by Georg Elgåen - who was Norwegian - I know because he was my father's french teacher in High School and the class learnt to sing this in french because Elgåen had translated it for his class. =)

[svedman]

@Rogstad, you troll. Your YT profile even states that you're from Norway yourself. You know that this song is in Norwegian, a germanic language, but not German.

[Rogstad]

@

svedman

My profile says I am Norwegian, but that is not the truth really. Long story.

Anyway, I am pretty sure this song is German. I have German at school so I do know a bit German. I can hear that this is German. Wtf, just look at her name; " Nora Brockstedt" The most typical German name you are all likely to see. And as mentioned a hundred time now, I have read about her and her song Voi voi. The million pound question is really; why did I read that she (and her song) were on German?

[herreguda]

@Rogstad

Actually, the song is Norwegian - the lyrics AND music were written by Georg Elgåen - who was Norwegian - I know because he was my father's french teacher in High School and the class learnt to sing this in french because Elgåen had translated it for his class.

[fsounds]

@Rogstad Brockstedt is a "upperclass" name in Norway. Her birth name is Berger, wich is one of the most common names in Norway. It's says and I quote: "Nora Brockstedt is a successful Norwegian singer". She is quite famous in Norway, and have sung some of our most beloved christmas carols. She was in the Eurovision Songcontest many times with "Tango for to" and "Sommer i Palma."

[Rogstad]

lublub

[handelaen]

FANTASTISK VAKKERT!

[MargarethMargareth]

Kjempestilig sang...og Nora holder jammen på ennå! :)

[Mrbolla96]

Norway kick ass!

[aafkgirl91]

Jeg elsker denne sangen! <3

[gurooxx]

Haha, I love this song!

And lol. German, now I've heard that one too xD

[JSH9J]

Wtf?? Rogstad er jo norsk?? Står på profilen hans!

[skolvold]

Han er et troll han vil krangle

[reedcostume]

voi - voi oppi fjellet, hører du denne hilsen fra meg?!! That is Norwegian!!

Voi- voi high in the mountain, do you hear this message from me? That song is in Norwegian.. Retard!

Voi-voi tiden står stille når jeg venter på kjæresten min! I am from Norway and that is Norwegian!!

[TheDiablesse92]

And one other thing: This was Norway's conrtibute to the Eurovision Song Contest in the year 1960. No more than 15 yearas after the war ended; Germans were still looked down on in Norway, and we wouldn't have anything to do with the german people or the language or the country at all. If this song had been originally german, I first of all think it would have been a lot more fuss about it competing in MGP. I don't believe it would be accepted very well in the competition, and let alone win it..!

[Rogstad]

Lol, no?

You need more knowledge in your head.

[eddyface2face]

This is 100% norwegian. So just shut up!

[lazyspruce]

This is 100% Norwegian work, i used German-Norwegian dictionary for the first words just to check if it was that simular some say it is. but the first words she sings in nowegian is: oppi fjellet hører du denne hilsen fra meg... i am not good in the german speaking, but it was not close to simular in the dictionary when u search the words. so old, good norwegian song:)

[Mandyhere2]

Omg... My bestfriend sing this MUCH better than Nora...

[Rogstad]

VOI VOI?

That was Germans song.

[huelezelf]

Uhm no sweety, it was the first ever Norwegian song...

[prefix331]

@huelezelf First ever Norwegian song in Eurovision :)

[Mandyhere2]

Nope. It's norwegian :)

[Rogstad]

No, I don't think so. You are wrong here.

[Anonymiusen]

Then why is she singing Norwegian?

[Rogstad]

It is German. Norwegian and German are a bit simular. So I can undertstand that you are a little confused.

[Anonymiusen]

I am Norwegian. Born in Norway 23 years ago, and my native language is Norwegian. Ich spreche auch Deutsch. It's Norwegian.

[Rogstad]

Well, I know that the song is German. I have had a project avout MGP at school. And "Voi Voi" was German ;)

[Anonymiusen]

Can you read? Read at the beginning: "Norway - Voi-voi - Nora Brockstedt". I hope they failed you. From Wikipedia: ""Voi Voi" (supposed Sami expression meaning "Hey Hey") was the Norwegian entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1960, performed in Norwegian by Nora Brockstedt. This was Norway's debut at the Eurovision Song Contest, and consequently the first occasion on which the Norwegian language was used at the Contest."

[Rogstad]

No, you are wrong. Nora Brockstedt is a German name. Listen. I remember this song, this GERMAN song. What part of GERMAN do you not understand?

[KristinJ09]

øøøh, this is NOT german :P haha

[VetleErsnes]

@Rogstad Fucking Idiot ! it Norwegian xD

[dasmysteryman12]

@Rogstad The song's NORWEGIAN. It's from NORWAY. It's already shown at the beginning. DUH.....

People lack common sense these days.

[meandjoeyjordison]

@Rogstad jævla horeonge tyskefaen! ikkje faen om d e tysk, se å hut dæ til fjells å få et eller anna troll til å skyve skitn din opp igjæn!

this is not german... haha

[Rogstad]

@meandjoeyjordison

Haha, you have no clue, have you?

This is German. I just asked some of my friends. They can confirm that this is German. But, I can see your confusion, Norwegian and German can sound very much alike ;)

[LikeMoah]

@Rogstad omg , we norwegian know our own language ! so don't say that this is german!!

im teaching dutch so i should know !!

just shut up ;)

[PlyLilian]

I'm sorry, but this is Norwegian. Hopefully your teacher wont notice it. (:

[ItsOverNineThousaand]

Fucking idiot, the song is Norwegian. Are you deaf?

[TheDiablesse92]

@Rogstad Sorry to say, but VoiVoi is nothing but Norwegian. Nora Brockstedt is as norwegian as any other norwegian, and the song is about some lapland girl... ther are no SAMER in German, are there?

Anyway, I'd care to check your sources twice if I were you. Turns out you sure cannot rely on everything that looks like facts just because it's posted on the internet.

[obesejim]

@Rogstad That is because the Germans love Norwegians. Every single Norwegian hit is dubbed to German and tops the charts over there. So please shut your little ignorant ass up, you raggedy trailer-trash FAGGOT.

[Anonymiusen]

Shit, twice. Shame on me.

[solaskinner]

this is Norwegian dear.

[Prups]

WTF? are u a retard Rogstad? I see you are from Norway...then why the hell are u saying this is german???? :S

Haha...retard

[SpazmaticAttack]

@Rogstad im from norway, this is norwegian : p

[Rogstad]

@SpazmaticAttack

No, I can hear that this is German. I know German a bit as well. Brockstedt is a very typical German name.

[SpazmaticAttack]

@Rogstad are you kidding me? this is nowegian my friend. lol im FROM norway, and she is singin in norwegian.

[Rogstad]

@SpazmaticAttack

I think you are wrong. I have read/heard a number of times that this song is German. In addition to that, it sounds German.

[Multi2011ODSK]

@Rogstad Do you even know about the first name of the song that reprecented Norway at the Eurovision Song Contest 1960? Do you? This song, dumbass!

[Rogstad]

@Multi2011ODS

I know for a fact that this song is German. I can hear it on the language and accent.

[eleanore97]

@Rogstad Please just shut up. It's Norwegian. Back in that day the songs had to be in the language of the country they represented. And *gasp* Norwegian is the language in Norway.

[irjamora]

@Rogstad It's a Norwegian song, you fail.

[TheMoabiter]

interessante Aufnahme...

[Japanese1970]

Aha Haha I got all negative comments from the land of Quislings and Cheaters!

[deliass]

We gave Quisling the death penalty almost 70 years ago, so I guess we're kinda over that shit by now. I'm more concerned with the 30.000+ Japanese guys committing suicide each year. In my opinion, if you kill yourself, you lose. So in this case: Cheating beats losing ANY day!

[numb1010]

lol, that's just daft.. you do realize the resistance to the nazis were great in norway? btw, since you're bringing up the subject.. who did your country side with in the 2. world war?

in that light it might (hopefully) dawn on you know how stupid it is to make generalizations on a nations entire population..

cheaters? haha, ok.. that's a new one.. care to explain why we are known as cheaters, you mighty disciplined one?

run along now troll! :D

[Finncey]

norway is the best countrey, fuck the rest!!!

just because you people have had an bad experience doesnt mean everybody are like that!

its a shame that you think that about everybody..:S

[gramule]

@Finncey lol. you have come a long way, from this to ah ha!

[Japanese1970]

We had a nasty experience in Norway.

Our car run out of gas and the Norwegians

refused to give us a lift to the nearest

gas station. I am thankful to a Dutch who

helped us.

[mexmexk]

???

[Japanese1970]

mexmeck,

In simple english, the Norwegians are very

unfriendly and the country itself is very expensive

not worth visiting!

[mexmexk]

noen vet hvis det er mulig aa se den video hvor hun synger med noen afrikanerne?

[Mamsillen]

Det er den amerikanske trioen "Deep River Boys". Jeg har et klipp der de synger Voi Voi med Nora

[mexmexk]

tuuuusen takkk!!!!!!

[munchyman3]

[soccernorway]

[Eurovision1994]

[toxic996]

[sosabes]

And this is absolutely the best song of ESC 1960. I like also very much her next year's entry too!

[celebrits123]
