Sverige möter Norge i ett riktigt tjusigt samarbete. Fantastisk text skriven av Cajsa-Stina Åkerström (de strofer som är på svenska) och Finn Kalvik (de norska stroferna), till Benny Anderssons fantastiska låt.
Under 70-talet spelade Finn Kalvik flera gånger på Västerviks Visfestival tack vare att kan kände Cajsa-Stinas pappa, Fred. Det var genom denna visfestival som han kom i kontakt med Björn & Benny. Benny kom att producera två av hans album, där övriga ABBA-medlemmar medverkade på kör, bl.a. studio-versionen av hans ESC-bidrag 1981 "Aldri i livet".
Wiki
* I'm not totally happy with YouTubes translation of the lyrics, for example they keep insisting on translating the Swedish word for "thinking" to "going" - not only in the English translation but in other languages as well.
The CC subtitles are in Swedish only, to get the translation working fairly well.
Wonderful collaboration in Norwegian and Swedish!
C-S Åkerström has written the Swedish parts, and Finn Kalvik the Norwegian.
Benny produced two of Finn Kalvik's albums (in 1979 and 1981) and had the rest of ABBA singing back up vocals on the songs, one being his ESC entry 1981 "Aldri i livet" ('Here in my heart').
He first met Björn & Benny when playing at the Västervik Visfestival. And him playing there, was thanks to Cajsa-Stina's father, Fred, who was a well known musician here in Sweden.

Beautiful text and melodie, performed by two great artists. A love Bennys arrangements and tonesettings. Finn Kalvik is a well known artist i Norway. I have also heared of Cajsa-Stina Åkerstrøm, but this is the first time together with a norwegian artist. I need to do some more tracing on YT now. Thanks Elin.

@age49 I love this melody and collaboration! C-S had a some hits in the 90's and in the new century she has concentrated more on singing "visor", just like her father did. Thanks for dropping by Gunnar :)
