Thanks Sandra. You were faster than me. I made a translation too, by Google with my own editing. Perhaps it can be a supplement for yours.

Birsta meets Rybak
SUNDSVALL (ST) Alexander Rybak singing Fairytale of Birsta
He won the Eurovision superior, single "Fairytale" is the most sold in Sweden this year and he draws large crowds everywhere.

On Friday, Alexander Rybak comes to Birsta City with his violin for an acoustic performance and record signing.

- I was in Sundsvall, Sweden with my dad when I was eight years. We bought a lot of ice cream here I remember, "says Alexander Rybak to ST in an exclusive interview.

Nothing is the same in the 23-year-old Alexander Rybak life after winning the Eurovision in May. This summer, he toured intensively in Norway and has made television shows and promotional visits around Europe for his gold-selling album, Fairytales, released in more than 25 countries.

He has also spent some time in Sweden. Last week he was in Stockholm to be part of the SVT " Så ska det låte ", which is sent during the coming season, 2010. Rybak has also recorded the music video for the new single "Funny Little World, which he recorded with producer Henrik Wikström and Amir Ali.

- I really like to work with Swedes. Everyone is so enormously talented and effective here. So it is certainly not in many other countries.
Next week, he returnes to Sweden to participate in the SVT Go'kväll, as recorded in Umeå.

Friday 11 September, he comes to Birsta City at 19.00 and occurs with songs Fairytale and Funny little world - which is the second single from the album. Alexander wrote Funny Little World since he won the Norwegian Eurovision Song Contest superior. He dedicated the song - about impossible love - to a girl he was dating for a while.
- The text is about love, like most other songs.

Alexander Rybak also brings two guitarists to Birsta and together the trio that make the songs acoustically.
- It is very fun to play acoustically, rather than running singback during a performance, the music becomes more alive then. The two guitarists are very talented. In addition, it will be something new for the audience to hear the songs in a different version. I am really looking forward to the visit to Sweden again, "he says.
Most of all he looks forward to record the signature.

- The absolute best thing about this kind of performances in the mall is to have the opportunity to meet with the audience afterwards, signing the disc, giving them a hug and talk a bit. All the people I meet here are so warm and nice, "he says.
Alexander Rybak has been in Sundsvall earlier, when he was eight years.

- We toured Sweden and played in the streets. I remember visiting Sundsvall we bought a lot of ice cream there and it was very nice environment with many shops. But I was just a little boy then.

In October, he starts his big European tour - going on until December - in Sweden, with concerts in Stockholm, Gothenburg, Malmö and Jönköping.

Story of Alexander Rybak seems to have only begun. Already he has plans for the next album.
- I concentrate most of everything going on now. There are concerts almost every day so I do not have much time for other things. But I try to write songs during the tour and think about the future sometimes, "says Alexander Rybak.
