Talk:Bjørge Lillelien

Kjemper

Admittedly, I'm Danish, not Norwegian, but I think the correct translation of "kjempers fødeland" is birthplace of giants, not birthcountry of fighters. Any Norwegians in the house? --Kristian 15:41, 26 April 2012 (UTC)

That is correct, and it have been fixed. Mentoz86 (talk) 12:05, 14 June 2012 (UTC)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YoUqOZ1y0H0 maybe add this qoute to? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.164.124.234 (talk) 14:53, 27 February 2010 (UTC)

Confused

The same quote (and context) is attributed to Bjorn Minge and Bjørge Lillelien. Umm... can anyone clear this up? --W.marsh 16:28, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

It's definitely Bjørge Lillelien - as a Norwegian tribute from NRK, his former employers, shows. I've merged & redirected the duplicate article to here. Qwghlm 17:42, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for handling that... not exaclty my area of expertise. --W.marsh 18:07, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

What you say

Well, come on then; what does the Norwegian text mean in English? Why the mention of Madison Square Garden? Was it the stadium, or something, or what? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 62.6.139.11 (talk • contribs) .

I agree a full translation would be nice. Where does "“Kylie Minogue! Steve Irwin!, Holly Valance! Crocodile Dundee! Natalie Imbruglia! Ian Thorpe! Mrs Mangel!.. etc" originally come from? According to http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,4-2065211_2,00.html it appeared in a national newspaper. I would guess that this was probably The Sun but does anyone know for sure?

NB the original questioner was me. I have no idea why I didn't sign it. The "or something, or what?" was a reference to Amiga Power magazine;[1] "what you say" was a reference to the All your base are belong to us phenomenon. Kudos to the man or woman - probably a man - who translated the text. -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 22:01, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

Translation

But maybe someone should cut the long vowels in the norwegian translation? "Looord", uuuutrolig? Gwissi 21:59, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

Moved here from article. Norwegian translations are unnecessary for the English version.

Full Norwegian/English version

The full Norwegian/English version reads as follows:

"Vi er best i verden! Vi er best i verden! Vi har slått England 2-1 i fotball!! Det er aldeles utrolig! Vi har slått England! England, kjempers fødeland. Lord Nelson, Lord Beaverbrook, Sir Winston Churchill, Sir Anthony Eden, Clement Attlee, Henry Cooper, Lady Diana--vi har slått dem alle sammen. Vi har slått dem alle sammen.

"Maggie Thatcher can you hear me? Maggie Thatcher, jeg har et budskap til deg midt under valgkampen. Jeg har et budskap til deg: Vi har slått England ut av Verdensmesterskapet i fotball. Maggie Thatcher, som de sier på ditt sprog i boksebarene rundt Madison Square Garden i New York: Your boys took a hell of a beating! Your boys took a hell of a beating!"

Translated version

The full version, completely translated to English:

"We are the best in the world! We are the best in the world! We have beaten England 2-1 in football!! It is completely unbelievable! We have beaten England! England, birthplace of giants. Lord Nelson, Lord Beaverbrook, Sir Winston Churchill, Sir Anthony Eden, Clement Attlee, Henry Cooper, Lady Diana--we have beaten them all. We have beaten them all.

"Maggie Thatcher can you hear me? Maggie Thatcher, I have a message for you in the middle of the election campaign. I have a message for you: We have knocked England out of the football World Cup. Maggie Thatcher, as they say in your language in the boxing bars around Madison Square Garden in New York: Your boys took a hell of a beating! Your boys took a hell of a beating!"81.132.175.34 (talk) 15:11, 14 December 2014 (UTC)
