[FrostyMint02]

@eaglesgogirl She ask how the song was made and he says "I wanted to make a romantic melodi, and then this one came into my head. I just had to try it on the fiddle, and then when I got home, I tried it on the piano" thats when he start playing the piano. He said "first it was like this *playing* but I made it more of a ballade *playing* and then it ended like this *playing*" and the girl says "Oh, we love it! We have heard it so many times, but lets just hear it once again"

[eaglesgogirl]

0:25 It started on my journey in the romantic rural areas. I got this melody inside my head I felt I just had to try it out on the violin. I thought it sounded really good and back home i sat down at the piano, and started to play with the theme.

0:45 To begin with it was a ballade.

0:48 mhm

0:55 And finally it become like this.

0:59 yeah, and so on...

1:00 Ahh, we just love it ... and the result we have heard many times, but we just love to listen to it yet again.

1:06 Great.

First of all, Alex started his public carreer by pulling a stunt where he walked from house to house in a rural area of Norway and he played and sang for people and got food and shelter in return. On this trip he started on something that later would become what we know today as Fairytale.

0:11 Hello my friends, and welcome to "Fin Fredag" (Nice friday) and tonight with ESC winner Alexander Rybak. Hi, Alexander.

0:20 Hays and hugs.

0:22 How was your song created, Alexander?

[Sopranelsker]

(1/2)

0:11 Hei mine venner og velkommen til "Fin Fredag" med Melodi Grand Prix vinner'n, Alexander Rybak. Hei

0:19 Hei

0:20 Hei, (latter)

0:22 Hvordan ble sangen din til, Alexander.

0:24 Det startet med at jeg vandret rundt i bonderomantiske strøk og så kom det en melodi i hodet på meg som jeg bare måtte prøve ut på fiolin, og det låt skikkelig bra.

0:38 Når jeg kom hjem igjen så satte jeg meg ned ved pianoet. (spiller)

0:43 Og så...

[Sopranelsker]

(2/2)

0:46 Det var en balande til å begynne med.

0:48 mhm

0:56 Og så ble det til slutt... (spiller)

1:00 Ååå, vi elsker det, og det ferdige resultatet har vi hørt mange ganger, men vi hører det gjerne igjen.

1:05 Flott.

[AndreaEhrenberger]

Good morning Sopranelsker

Wow!

thank you very much! I love that You have answered and helped me!!!

I'll reproduce your text in my work and I´ll mention You in the citations for the two texts, the English translation and text in Norwegian.

Have a beautiful day!

I have started mine with a cappuccino

Thank You very much again!

[Sopranelsker]

If I'm allowed to choose I rather not be in the citations. Another thing, "ballade" is spelled wrong. It should be with two l's. Besides, It's not a true translation, but a translation where I kept focus on the meaning of what they said. They don't exactly speak high norwegian nor do they speak in complete sentences.

[AndreaEhrenberger]

Ok.

Thank You

[JaydenCruz]

I think this song would be wonderful on piano  <3

[princessofDanmark]

Jag tycker om alex ;D han är så söt och underbar <33 Aaaivan ihanaa :) sekoilen taas erikielillä :D

[SmileAndShine121]

he's so adorable!

I'm not sure, but did he actually say "Förlåt!" ("Forgive me!") at 1:06 when she said that they should watch the clip from the contest once again? XD he's so funny

[Sopranelsker]

No, he said "flott", which in norwegian is something like "great".

[SmileAndShine121]

Oh okey, thanks! :)
