~~~ Lyrics ~~~

Eg var meg så ven og fager ei møy
Med stimoder vond, mi moder ho døy

Ho skapte meg om til eit svær og ei nål
Og sende meg av ti kongens gård

Og vreida mi stimoder kjende mest
Når alle dei gillaste lika meg best

Ho gav meg ein ham som ulve grå
Ho svor meg til einsam i skogjen gå

Og aldri blir eg heil og god
Før eg fær drukkje min broders blod

~~~ Lyrics in English ~~~

I was a very fine and beautiful maiden
With an evil stepmother. My mother had died.

She transformed me into a sword and a needle
And sent me off to the King’s estate.

The wrath of my stepmother grew
When all the fine people loved me most.

She gave me the hide of a grey wolf
And forced me to go into the woods alone.

And I would never be whole and good
Before I had drunk of my brother’s blood.

Norway, I'm sorry... You've been ripped off and unfairly put last. For me personally, you are definitely top 5. This is a total injustice.

[kimkristiansen]

A circus dosen`t deserve a masterpiece like this.

[alecsia]

Europe deserves to know Gåte. Thank you all Norwegians for chosing art over radio-friendly nonsense. It is time we honor our languages and traditions.
Min stemme er din, Norge
🇳🇴❤️ 🇵🇹

[xway]

Her vocals are INSANE! The control and the power is ridiculous, I think very few people in the world can sing like this.

[stefanenglishman]

This is what Eurovision is all about. Showing the beauty of your country, language, culture. I'm so happy to have Gåte in Malmö, "Ulveham" is masterpiece. Good luck Norge!!! 😊🇳🇴

[Luna-iimx]

People sleeping on this, hope its gonna blow the socks off the people home in the sofa. I get chills everytime I hear this song.

[mariamartin]

I will never understand why many countries sing in English, when their native language is very beautiful.

[tuattiuri]

Criminally underrated. By far my favourite this year

[jakubkurczab]

I am so happy Norway is sending a song in Norwegian for the first time since 2006! Seriously, Nordic languages are so beatiful ❤ But sadly, we do not get to hear them often at Eurovision

[bea-ljbn]

They were very generous inviting Eurovision to their concert

[rubeau__]

Finland: Hard rock hallelujah
Norway: Hard folk hallelujah

[JordanJohnstone]

It makes me so upset seeing this song so low in the odds.
It's fucking perfect in every way

[MikkoRantalainen]

As a Finn, great work! I wouldn't be surprised to see this win the whole contest.

[lovro_]

How long have I been waiting for Norway to send a rock-ethno banger like this! I hope that Norway will finish in the top 5! Just to remind you all, Norway sent a song in their mother tongue after almost 20 years and that's exactly what we all needed! The singer is killin' it! Good luck from Croatia! 🇭🇷♥️🇸🇯

[eleonoretsareena]

Ethnic song + National Language +Beautiful stage+ they are showing their Culture + Rock and Instruments on stage + amazing vocals. Congrats Norway !🇧🇻
We have clearly a WINNER for ESC

[questionsimposed]

As someone wisely pointed out: In a perfect world, this is the winner.

[mafcgh]

I don't know how this isn't considered a favourite to win. The emotion, the sound, the staging. This is incredible.

[alonaserpetska]

What a hypnotic and powerful masterpiece! I listened it about 10 times today, missed my stop during commute while listening to it, forgot about everything, and was travelling Norwegian mountains, glaciers and forests with you.

[emmanuelabuchi]

If her vocals are spot on during the competition, this song is gonna blow everyone away

[TheMrGuytano]

Brit here who thought this was the best song of the night. Completely agree with comments about singing in your native language. It should be a sharing of cultures and this song was Norway through and through (wife has family in Bergen, Norway). This song sent chills up my back. Already listened to their album this morning 🤘🤘
