I translated the lyrics for you English speaking folks 0:12 Everybody hates me Writing chronicles and talking shit about me Friends leave me The words whip, make bullet holes and craters in me 0:22 Didn't ask for any scene But now I stand here alone Life has become a drama. The Prince and the wrong lady See! Now she is talking on TV 0:31 Deep inside, you feel the thoughts everyone's thinking When they see you on the street with a prince in hand And old retirees spit yellow saliva (As accurate as possible translated) And they hit me in the forehead, and I hate that 0:41 Hi, I don't know you But you're just throwing shit at me and laughing at me Fuck! These streets are cold, ass Being royal sucks balls, ass (Ass is not actually a butt, but a Norwegian word used as a kind of "For real") 1:28 Do you think Maud used to smoke a lot of crack, or what? Do you think Olav was sitting high on the streetcar, or what ? Do you think Sonja had premarital sex, or what? Are you stupid? Are you stupid? 1:38 Not a chance you're gonna marry our prince Not a chance you're gonna move in to Skaugum farm Not a chance you can bring this little kid of your's The little loser isn't Haakon's child 1:47 We don't like boys that are born from before And we don't like girls born in the south Si-si-si-single mom Si-si-si-single mom 1:57 We like inbreeding, we like royal houses We like sailing, we like Solo-soda (Norwegian orange-soda) Si-si-si-single mom Si-si-si-single mom 2:06 You're not good enough, you're worthy You aren't good enough, you're terrible Si-si-si-single mom Si-si-si-single mom 2:16 They don't like boys that are born from before And they don't like girls born in the south And by the way: Æ - Pronounced like the first "E" in "Everyone" / The "A" in "Fan" Ø - A letter pronounced like the "U" in "Uhh"/"Fun Å - Like the "O" in "Forest" / The "A" in "All"
Totally loving this series. I recommend it to everyone who moved to Norway. Does anyone know any original interviews with people shown here? Is it possible to see them?
I love it! These are all so good. I wish TV Norge had a place for us to watch all of them in one place! And with the subtitles they are easier to understand!
I think this song and their other song "Caviar"(aka "What will I say") are particularily interesting, simply because they are the only two Ylvis songs i know about that actually has a very serious undertone to them and are not straight up comedy.
Now I'm not sure if there's restrictions for viewers outside Norway, there could be - anyways TV Norge has released the "stories from Norway" episodes on D-play (without needing to be a member of the site): www.dplay.no/programmer/stories-from-norway Also it's possible to find them on facebook. They are not subbed though- . ^_^
OK, so Alenemor means - Single mom, but this song MUST have subtitles, it's AWESOME... this is what I managed up until now.... everyone hates me Writes chronicle and talks shit about me Friends are leaving me The words whip, make bullet holes and craters in me Didn't ask for the neon scene But now I stand here alone Life has become a drama The prince and the wrong lady See! Now she is talking on TV deep down you know the thoughts that everyone thinks
Diego Estmar Ohhhhhh It makes some sense. She's a bit of a trashy wild card in the eyes of royalty. I feel like I'm missing some nuance but I think I get it.
The song is about all the hate Matte-Marit recived when she was about to marry the prince. The people meant that she wasn’t good enough for Haakon because she had a shady past, with partying and drugs, and a that she was a single mom with a son and stuff. And all of this would probably be a shame to the royal family and stuff. And Ylvis are kinda making fun of all the people hating on her, because their just so damn jugdemental without knowing her at all. But love always win, and the people love her now ❤️
And their also making fun of a music type that is really popular in norway right now! Artists here make songs like this seriously, and then ylvis comes and make it for fun and makes it better than them 😂
