I love this song - though it's in part perhaps a little too similar to 'Stranger on the shore' - and I love Inger's voice. Very underrated, as was so often the case with Norwegian entries in those early years.
I must agree that this is an underrated performance. The song is lovely with very nice orchestration and Ms. Jacobsen's vocals are confident and rich. In my opinion, it was one of 1962's best performances.
The equivalent English translation of the title would be "Rain or shine".
The picture quality isn't very good, but the sound is excellent.
Inger Jacobsen sings beautifully, but the song itself is nothing special. The French were very generous to award us 2 points and save us from total disgrace.
Our first really underrated entry; Inger Jackobsen sings really beautiful and the orchestration is really good and "jazzy", very typical for Norwegian music in the early 60's! :-)
BTW Tasos, you translated it completely right. As I said, Norwegian and English grammar is very similar! :-)
Thank you Tasos for sharing this gem with us; now this is one of those ballot types that I really like, especially with 'jazzy' tones. And I agree with you you about her voice that adds that extra 'je ne sais quoi', definitely top 3. Looking forward to Yugoslavia from that year.
This is soooo stranger on the shore...

I didn't like this song in 1962, when I was a little girl. But now I think it's a great song. I must be getting old.

I like it too, no winner but still good. Inger was one of the most popular singers at that time, but unfortuatly this song was no big hit
