Honestly, Lisa Stokke’s voice has developed so much since she voiced Elsa 6 years ago and performed ‘La den gå’ (not my favourite version at all). Kudos to her!

Lyrics (Norwegian):

​Jeg har hørt deg her i kveld
Det lukter trøbbel, det vet jeg vel
Det er tusen grunner til å leve slik som før
Velge bort din hvisking, den som bare gjør meg ør

Din fjerne røst er som et ekko, ikke mer
Om den var ekte (vakke det) den lokkelyd du sprer
Her er de jeg bryr meg om, de kjæreste jeg har
​Så mystiske sirene, du får ikke noe svar

Jeg har jo gjort det meste, det klarer seg for meg
Jeg er redd for hva som hender hvis jeg følger deg
Inn i ukjent land, inn i ukjent land
Inn i ukjent land

Si hva du vil, for du har vekket meg i natt
Er du her for å skremme, til jeg føler meg forlatt?
Men er du også ensom? Kanskje minner du om meg
Og vet at du burde tatt en annen vei

Hver dag tærer på min styrke og jeg kjenner på en trang
Vet jeg kan og hjertet sier gang på gang
Inn i ukjent land, inn i ukjent land
Inn i ukjent land

Si meg er du den som ser meg?
Går du foran hvis jeg ber deg?

Hvor har du tenkt deg?
Vil du føre an?
​Våger jeg
Følge deg
Inn i ukjent land?
Translation:

​I have heard you here tonight
It smells like trouble, I know that well
There are a thousand reasons to live like before
To opt out of your whisper, which just makes me lightheaded

Your distant voice is like an echo, nothing more
If it was real (It isn’t!), the alluring sound you spread
The ones I care about are here, the loved ones I have
So mystical siren, you won’t get an answer

I have done the most I could, and that works for me
I’m afraid of what will happen if I follow you
Into unknown lands, into unknown lands
Into unknown lands

Tell me what you want, because you’ve woken me up tonight
Are you here to scare me, until I feel abandoned?
But are you also lonely? Maybe you remind me of myself
And you know that you should’ve taken a different path

Every day tears at my strength and I feel an urge
​I know I can, and the heart says time after time
Into unknown lands, into unknown lands
Into unknown lands

Tell me, are you the one who sees me?
Will you go forth if I ask you to?

Where do you think you’re going?
Will you lead?
Dare I
Follow you
Into unknown lands?
