@shoemakersaint To see the transcript below in the correct order, you can click "see all," at the upper right of the comment list, and it will be displayed correctly. But unfortunately not at the same time as hearing the speech-- to follow the speech with it you'll have to skip upward from part to part. Guessed wrong -- sorry for the inconvenience.

We will have a Norway where we live together in fellowship with freedom to think and express ourselves, where we see differences as opportunities, where freedom is stronger than fear.

This evening the streets are filled with love.

@shoemakersaint [part 5]

It is up to every one of us now. It is up to you and it is up to me.

Together have we a job to do. It is a job which must be done around the dinner table, in the cafeteria, in organizational life, in the volunteer groups, by men and by women, in the countrysides and in the cities.

@shoemakersaint [part 4] It is you who will shape and determine which Norway we shall have in the years ahead. Every one of you is irreplaceable. But we have lost many.

The Norway we will have, shall no one take from us.

This evening the streets are filled with love.

We face a choice. We cannot undo what has happened.

But we can choose what this will do do us as a society and as individuals.

We can choose that no one shall have to stand alone.

We can choose to stand together.

@shoemakersaint [part 3]

It shows at the same time that it matters what attitudes each one of us holds, what we choose to build our lives on. And how we choose to do the best for each other and the community we live in.

After 22 July, we can never again allow ourselves to think that our views and opinions are without meaning. We must face every day prepared to fight for the free and open society we are so proud of.

Dear young people: Your our corrective, our courage, and our hope. [cont'd]

@shoemakersaint [part 2]

Norway is a country in mourning. We think of all those who have suffered losses. Who miss someone.

Of all who made a heroic effort to save lives and restore our safety. And of our leaders who have been put to difficult tests in recent days.

Those who were on Utøya and in the government quarter were targets of terror. But it affects us all.

Clear and terrible have we seen how great are the consequences a single person's actions can have.

@shoemakersaint Here's my edit of the Google translation of Haakon's speech. I've tried to keep it fairly literal, to enable you to follow some of Haakon's own words (also because literal, here, is sometimes more eloquent). It'll take several frames; hope they stack up the right order; I'll number them.

This evening the streets are filled with love.

We have chosen to answer cruelty with closeness.

We have chosen to meet hate with togetherness.

We have chosen to show what we stand for.
