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? &mdash;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; "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)
