Eurovision Norway 1982: Adieu (Jahn Teigen & Anita skorgan)

"Adieu" ("Goodbye") was the Norwegian entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1982, performed in Norwegian by Jahn Teigen and Anita Skorgan.
The song is a ballad, with the duo taking the roles of lovers ending a relationship. They pledge to remain on good terms, even though they are no longer together. Skorgan and Teigen were married at the time they performed together, but divorced shortly thereafter.
The song's lyrics was an experiment in which they tried to avoid Norwegian "hard words" like IKKE and BAKKE, to make the song more listenable to European ears. Hence the French title "Adieu".
At the close of voting, it had received 40 points, placing 12th in a field of 18.

The song is great! Peaceful and calm. It deserved 6th and no higher than that.

btw, is the description from wikipedia?

Wonderful song. But I can't help watching Jahn Teigen's hand shaking!

Well I wouldn't say they "divorced shortly thereafter" as they had a daughter in 1984! ;)

I love this song. It was really moving to hear this song last summer live after they have been divorced for so many years. Perfect lyrics..
