Here is a translation of the interview from Sommeråpent http://www1.nrk.no/nett-tv/klipp/522569

-But now we are going to talk about someone the whole of Europe wants a little piece of, because after Alexander Rybak won the
Eurovision final there has been a crazy amount of things that happened in his life. Yesterday He played for a sold out opera
house in Oslo and today he's going to play forus.
Welcome Alexander!
--I never get bored with hugs.
-That's good, how are you?
--Very well, eeh, alittle absent minded as always, I'm pretty rested. And then you forget that even if it's summer it gets
a bit cold in the evening.
-Yes it gets a little bit cold. It's very nice that you have time to come to our outdoor studio because you are very busy.
Please tell us what have made the biggest impression on you after this happened?
--Mmm. I think it's that because people seen a TV show they sudenly trust me completely, no matter what kinds of wishes and
ideas I have people immedeatly says YES, because when I had the same ideas two years ago I had to pass through a whole
bureaucracy just to get people to listen to me, but now I say ,maybe we should do it like this or that, and then I already
have ten people at my side taking notes, it's really fun.
-You have made an incredible amount of performances, the opera yesterday we are going to talk about that later, but so many
different things. You played in the presidential palace in Belorussia in a talent show, how was you recieved there?
--It's really nice because I don't speak fluent Russian , well I do but I have a very poor vocabulary so I speak like a ten
year old. But anyhow they understand me and treats me very well there's privet planes and things.
-One thing is your music and your performanes but just now you give people a hug, your very open.
--That's really the best thing.
-You seems very positive and happy.
--I'm getting paid money for play around in the whole of Europe it's really fun.
-Do you have a cheerful temperament?
--Yes most of the time, but sometimes I get really angry if I have a reason.
-When did you ger rally angry the last time?
--It was at the opera concert yesaterday when I forot that we had made a change and that Hanne Krogh should be on befor
Elisabeth Andreassen, so I intoduced Elisabeth and then they started to play Hanne Krogh's melodie.
-But disregarding that it was asold out house, what was it like to perform there?
--It was so wonderful, and it eased my mind when it was finished because it was so much work with it, I felt just like
after Moscow, because it was so much work with it now it was more people and now I was the host who was inviting to a party.
- I have quotetation from one of your guests it's Wenche Foss
--Yes, she came.
-I think she sat in the second row and she said "That I so late in my life should experience something so brilliant"
--Aah.
-That was said by Wenche foss herself, how does it feel to get a comment like that?
--A thousand thanks Wenche Foss. That was big. It's not strange I'm happy when I get comments like that.
- Now you're going to make us happy because you will play little for us.
--Because I never forget my traditions things I do to have a god time.
-You have to tell us the story about this song you will play.
--It's more the story about how I use the fiddle it can be used like guitar. I remember I has been to a lot of courses
I still go but now this year I started as a teacher. I was to seminar for bow instruments and then all of us lived in
the same place, I remember I asked all the girls to open their windows and then I stood outside and sung a little good night
song for them.
-Yes and now we are going to hear it.
--One of them called "All I do is dream of you"

..........Alexander sings

--That was that one and after a while I felt that I was competent to make my own songs.
-Yes
--And there's "Funny little word" that is like this.

...........Alexander sings


--Even several verses, in English.
- Thousand thanks Alexanderfor the beatyful music, good luck among other things you're going to ?...? festival in Askim tomorrow.
