  • "Dagarna och kvällarna, då lever jag - röppni fälls, örr ur i knön, och gniblisaa på kvällen"

    For thows who wish to sing the nonsens words he sings in the beginning.

  • A nice, sombre little song, but I'd say the attitude surrounding it spoiled things a little. The Swedish delegation were planning to sing the song in English, possibly as a protest to the abolishment of the free-language rule. It was only shortly to entering the stage when this was ruled out for good, so Björn Skifs was totally unprepared.

  • Han har grymt bra röst! skifs är fan sveriges bästa sångare

  • @setheurovision94 Yeah it makes sence. I knew that part of wanting to sing in English but in 78 Björn should have known that no one was allowed to sing in English anymore ... his stubborness was a bit silly but at least he performed instead of allowing himself to be disqualifed. It would be stupid and very unprofessional from him.

  • @Fabian81 Your guess is as good as mine. I guess he just wanted to apologise for the delay, and with the nerves he must have been feeling (because they weren't planning on singing the song in Swedish at all) may have led him to blurt this out. Because they were planning to sing in English, but it was only shortly to enterting the stage when they were assured that doing so would have them disqualified on the spot. As you can see, Björn has trouble remembering the lyrics in Swedish.

  • @setheurovision94 Can tou explain that to me a bit further. What was the story behind those comment of Björn? Why did he say that?

  • @Fabian81 He says, "Sorry to keep you waiting, but here's the top of the bill." Which does sound a tad pretentious, no? Or just the wrong joke at the wrong time?

  • What does he say to the audience before he start the song?

  • Too bad you can't spell.

  • Min favorit svenska sången. Uttryckligen av dom som är sjungt i svensk jag menar :p

  • Agony listening to this - I had to stop just a few seconds into the song.

  • He has forgot the lyrics in swedish...
