a simple translation for privatisert barnål by resirkulert. (a political song, I will provide short explanations for the political parties referenced in the footnotes)

first, a translation I can't do afaik: "barnål" means the "needles" (leaf equivalents) of Pinales trees (which includes: Araucaria, cedar, celery-pine, cypress, fir, juniper, kauri, larch, pine, redwood, spruce, and yew, according to Wikipedia, version 14. Dec 20:10 to 15. dec 17:43 and maybe further).

another note is that I'm pretty sure some parts were just written wrong in the lyric transcript, cause multiple lines weren't coherent sentences so I wasn't true to that.

[lyrics start]

Straight to the point with a lawyer

I have a quote, you probably vote pirate¹

demonstrate and respond to Karl Johan² against the state decision

React against the self-important and they look down on citizens like you

Bureaucrats everywhere and the serious talk puts me off

[instrumental]

The wave of right-wing politics pushes me further left than I need

Everything is covered in soot, blue and green³ and all the time the conversation is about money

Everything you hear around is a loud voice influenced⁴ by a discussion

And I'm starting to wonder if the whole parliament has become an illusion

[instrumental]

[chorus: With barnål and sewing thread, I am sewing myself in place, With barnål and sewing thread, I sew myself in place ]

[instrumental]

When we hit the streets, everything is financed privately

and on every corner there is a person who has been discriminated against

Norway will become a country where praise⁵ should feel registered

And I met a man in the street, he had unfortunately been privatized

[chorus x 4]

[lyrics end]

ok so the footnotes:

"voting pirate" probably refers to voting for the pirate party, which is a real party in Norway (even getting 0.1% of votes in the national election), want to make online piracy easier I think the name is from. They basically believe in a right to knowledge and lack of surveillance. In 2023 they changed their name to "the innovation and technology party". (source: SNL.no, itpartiet.no, no.m.wikipedia.org, en.m.wikipeia.org). It could also mean something else, I'm not the only song interpreter, but yeah, some cultural context I figured may be relevant.

Karl Johan (-s gate / 's street) is the street in Oslo, the capital, where the parliament (Storting) building is.

for this footnote I've interpreted "covered in soot" as a metaphor, considering Norway doesn't have coal power afaik. But this is about the criticism of "blue and green". both the green Senterparti (centre party), the blue-green color Venstre (left party (although they're actually right wing libertarians, pro privatization though pro queer) and the blue parties (all the right-wing ones) are for privatization. A notable exception here is mdg (The Environment Party The Green) who are leftists (criticized for dividing would-be Red Party (the furthest left with any power) voters) , but use the color green. (disclaimer that this is a politics summary and thus people have strongly varied perceptions of them, the parties vary locally (I'm not checking 10 k + communes), and I don't have any academic background in politics).

it feels weird to translate "å prege" as to influence, but it sorta does mean that. You could also say "informed by", "impacted by" and such. "his voice was [prega] by fear" means "his voice was full of fear".

I translated "annerkjennelse" as praise because of context, I assume it's about money, and basically praise = money being the message. But technically it means "recognition" (primarily), or "popularity", "acceptance ", "respect", "esteem" or "praise".

The Deildegast [Norwegian folklore]

A man, sometimes a farmer, illegally moves a boundary marker to enlarge his own land at the cost of his neighbors. When he dies, he is unable to find rest and returns to haunt the world of the living as a ghost as punishment for his crime.

This simple story, though many variations exist, is a recurring theme in folklore throughout the world. There are the Vuurmannen in Flemish/Dutch folklore, the Krivomjeri in Croatian folktales, and also the Norwegian story of the Deildegast.

A Deildegast is the undead spirit of someone who moved a boundary stone in life. It is forced to haunt the area around the stone. The ghost can move on to the afterlife as soon as it puts the stone back where it belonged, but this is impossible for it to do, as a Deildegast is cursed so that the stone would always slip and fall out of his hands during an attempt to move it. These beings are often associated with the Gjenganger, a similar undead creature from Scandinavian folklore.

A Deildegast was first mentioned in the Draumkvedet, which is a Norse poem from the late Middle Ages. Technically and formally it is a ballad, but it has a different melody and some other details make it different from traditional ballads.

Whether the Deildegast is a spectral ghost of a corporeal zombie differs depending on who you ask. In some versions, these beings have the ability to transform into an owl but I found no decent sources for that claim.

[bunad]

Olie Halvorsdotter Medgaarden

from Tunhof (Tunhovd, Nore og Uvdal) - 1848

drawn by Joachim Christian Frich

Olie is depicted in traditional Nore og Uvdal style dress. Despite being 1848 she still has an empire waist due to the fashion being adopted around the beginning of the 19th century and then being conserved in the folk tradition.

Hers is different from the modern Nore og Uvdal bunad which has a more natural waist, due to its inspiration being in the surviving 18th century garments.

Though it is possible to get a reconstructed bunad from the early 19th century which is more similar to Olie's.

Nelson Mandela

Nelson Mandela was born in the Eastern Cape in the village Mvezo 18th july 1918. Mandela was a liberation leader and politician. In 1994, he was selected to be president in South Africa and he was their president until 1999. He was an opponent to the apartheid regime and worked hard for the liberation movement. The apartheid regime accused him of being a traitor and for working against the regime. When they found him after a journey to spread his message he got caught and this led to him, being prisoned on an island called Robben Island were they sent all kind off lawbreakers. He was in prison at Robben Island in 1972 and sat there in 18 year until his realise in 1990. This was after a lot of pressure from foreign countries. Mandela was the world's most prominent symbol of peace and reconciliation in the late 1900s and until his death in 2013. Both during his captivity and later, Mandela was awarded a number of international awards, including the Nobel Peace Prize, which he shared in 1993 with his presidential predecessor, Frederik Willem de Klerk.

Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela

Nelson mandela (1918-2013) was a South African jurist liberation leader and politician, and South Africa’s President from 1994 to 1999.

He opened his own lawyer firm with his friend (and later, the leader of ANC) Oliver Tambo in 1952. In the 1940’s, Nelson Mandela was a big influence on the ANC (African national congress). In 1956, he was accused of high treason acquitted.

Shortly after the Sharpeville massacre in 1960, in which 69 people were killed and 180 severely injured, the apartheid cabinet forbid ANC and other organizations. At the same time, ANC passed away from the nonviolent line that the organization had followed. Mandela spoke for and supported this strategy change. Mandela was responsible for building up the ANC as a secret organization and became the head of the armed wing of the ANC.

Nelson went underground after the cabinet banned the ANC. Shortly after the banning, the government started looking for nelson. In 1962 he snuck over border to today`s Botswana and then made a bigger trip around the world to make the liberation struggle more known, internationally. The same year Mandela tried to sneak back to Johannesburg; he was arrested and given five years in prison. One year later the apartheid cabinet unveiled the ANC`s hiding spot and Mandela was accused of terrorism and conspiracy against the state. This raised his penalty, and he was sent to death row (1964). He was on death row for 18 years on Robben Island, an island used as a prison almost continuously since the 1500. He was then sent to Pollsmoor-prison. After a total of 27 years in prison he was released.

Nelson Mandela played a central role in the negotiations that led to the first free elections in South Africa's history, and a formal abolition of apartheid (1994). Mandela himself was elected to South Africa's new president that year. Mandela also won Nobel Peace Prize, along with a number of other prices. He died at the age of 95 and is still an icon and a symbol of pace.

Got an ad that read something like "stop spiritual terrorism, find God". And its like. The only people terrorizing my spirit are Christians.

explanation below the cut but cw frustrating.

I've been harassed once on Tumblr, and that was Christians. Who could not fathom the basic historical fact that Christmas is a tradition that started in Norse religion, not Christianity. (sources: snl.no/jul, worldhistory.org, visitnorway.com, thepostgradchronicles.org, en.wikipedia.com/yule). (sidenote that I see some sources saying "Germanic" rather than Norse, which does not match what we learn at school, but I can't say for sure. Though the reference of the Norse god Odin makes me think they're just being stupid, he's not a '"Germanic god"" he's literally a Norse god - that much is common knowledge)

And recently at a party a Christian called me a psychopath for being atheist. (don't trust strangers coming up to you to discuss philosophy, it's a fucking trap yo).

Sources

Throughout this project I have used multiple sources. As  facts in my essay, but also just as a basis of inspiration in the creation of my characters. Below are all the sources I used. But first I wanted to talk a bit about how I used them and what function they served. 

A lot of the sources you see below have been used merely as inspiration for concept development. I saw it necessary to list them in the bibliography even if they weren’t actively used in the essay. Example, books like “Body Language” and “Staring: How we look” are books I used for creating my script and storyboard. Looking at the science behind staring and body language gave me sufficient info to create my script and the storyboard. Sadly I didn’t get to go into detail about this in my essay due to severe lack of words. 

The lack of words is what led to a lot of issues within my essay, I didn’t have space to use facts from all the references I had. But I did use most of them on my blog. If I used a reference in the text you can find it by clicking on a word that is highlighted. 

I also used a lot of the TFL website to find inspirational material for my character development. Facts and numbers functioned a lot as basis for my characters, I have gone through all of these facts in another post.
