So Gåte's text is based on and distilled from an ancient ballad about a maiden who lost her mother when she was born, but later got a stepmother. The stepmother was so jealous of the girl that she transformed her first into a sword and placed it in the king's courtyard. However, the girl's inherent goodness also manifested in the sword, even though she had been changed into an object. All the finest knights and soldiers favoured this sword above all, and the envious stepmother then transformed the maiden into a needle. The most skilled tailors loved this needle and sewed the most beautiful clothes with it. The stepmother grew even angrier and turned the girl into a wolf, cursing her to roam the forest forever, unable to rid herself of the wolf form unless she drank her brother's blood. And so it was. The maiden wandered through the woods. For eight years, the stepmother stayed indoors, afraid to venture out because she knew the wolf maiden was out there. But then she became pregnant and wanted to go to church. The wolf pounced on her, seized the stepmother's blue cloak, pulled her off her horse, tore out her heart, and drank her blood and thereby also her brother's blood. With that act, the curse and enchantment were lifted, and the maiden emerged, just as beautiful and kind as before, and returned home to her father.
Great reaction! Glad you got the lyrics in English. The song is based on a medieval ballad, which is a thing Gåte usually does. They make their music based on old, forgotten stories and songs. They had to rewrite the lyrics for Eurovision, which is a good thing, since the new text makes the story more understandable. And btw - Gåte just released their music video, and it is just as amazing as the song. Greetings from Norway! 🎵🐺❤🔥🇳🇴
Very nice reaction👍 I love this song and performance😍 Gåte (gaw-teh) has been a band for years and are known for being one of the best live bands in Norway🤘 Their genre is Norwegian folk music mixed with rock/metal Ulveham means wolfskin The intro is an old “kulokk”, a “kulokk” is when the women called/calls the cows home to be milked in the summer, often in the mountains. The chorus of the song is inspired by this “kulokk” The song itself is inspired by a medieval folklore/ballade I recommend checking out the longer version, love it😍 Too bad they had to shorten it down to three minutes for Eurovision🤷♀️ I also recommend checking out their brand new music video, beautiful😍
Happy that you liked Gåte! They represent Norway in such a good way with the mix of folk music and modern rock, culture with an old tale and Norwegian language, and a real art performance 🤓 Like my favourites Go_A did for Ukraine! Thank you from Norway and Slava Ukraini! 🇳🇴❤️🇺🇦
Thank you (tusen takk 🇧🇻) for a great reaction🤩👏Its only a week from now and we have a winner in Malmö👏 The very best good luck to GÅTE🇧🇻🇧🇻🇧🇻 and all the others participating countries❣️😊🎉
