Eurovision Norway 1990: Brandenburger Tor (Ketil Stokkan)

"Brandenburger Tor" ("The Brandenburg Gate") was the Norwegian entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1990, performed in Norwegian by Ketil Stokkan.
The song is inspired by the collapse of the Berlin Wall, with Stokkan singing about the amazement that many Europeans felt as the Wall came down, and also at the reunification of Berlin, with the titular Brandenburg Gate no longer representing the border between West and East Germany. As befits the triumphant lyrical theme, the song is performed over an up-tempo beat.
At the close of voting, it had received 8 points, placing 21st (equal last) in a field of 22.

@Frampa he doesn't say "wir sehe", he says "vi ser" which is norwegian. same meaning though. The only german thing in the song is Brandenburger Tor, the rest is norwegian.

Wir sehe Brandeburger Tor. Sounds like norwegian and german language mix song.
