Alexander Rybak Lyrics

"There's a crazy girl following me."
It started with a call I stupidly answered
You said you got my number from one of the dancers
You waited right outside, you had something on mind
But then I saw your eyes, your crazy eyes
An evil kind of game I didn't know existed
You traveled overseas to terrorize me
And I don't understand, why can't you let me be?
Believe me when I say, you stupid fool!
You're scaring me to death, that's not cool!
Why won't you leave me alone?
Just leave me alone!
You're crazy, leave me alone!
I beg of you to stop and think this through
It's time you started playing with someone new
Why won't you leave me alone?
Just leave me alone!
You're crazy, leave me alone!
You're scaring mom and dad, scaring off my girlfriend
You're waiting by my door early in the morning
I've told you many times, don't follow me at night
You're poisoning in my life, just tell me why!
Believe me when I say, you stupid fool!
You're scaring me to death, that's not cool!
Why won't you leave me alone?
Just leave me alone!
You're crazy, leave me alone!
I beg of you to stop and think this through
It's time you started playing with someone new
Why won't you leave me alone?
Just leave me alone!
You're crazy, leave me alone!
Believe me when I say, you stupid fool!
You're scaring me to death, that's not cool!
Why won't you leave me alone?
Just leave me alone!
You're crazy, leave me alone!
I beg of you to stop and think this through
It's time you started playing with someone new
Why won't you leave me alone?
Just leave me alone!
You're crazy, leave me alone!

I’ve made a rhymed translation of this song into French.
Tu m’as téléphoné c’était une rencontre
Que tu m’as demandée et je n’avais rien contre
Tu m’attendais dehors ayant une chose pour moi
Alors j’ai vu tes yeux d’oiseau de proie
Tu m’a entrainé dans quelque chose assez terrible
Un jeu brutal pour faire mon existence pénible
De loin tu es allée pour me terroriser
Et je ne comprends pas c’que tu attends de moi
Prête ton oreille à mes paroles, folle
Tu me fais peur à mort c’est pas drôle
Tu dois me laisser en paix
Une fois pour jamais
Va-t’en et laisse-moi en paix
Arrête- toi je te prie et pense un peu
Trouve une nouvelle victime pour ton jeu
Tu dois me laisser en paix
Une fois pour jamais
Va-t’en et laisse-moi en paix
Mes proches et ma fille ont une secousse forte
Car chaque matin très tôt tu es près d'ma porte
J’ t’ai dit beaucoup de fois très tard ne me suis pas
Tu empoisonnes ma vie dis-moi pourquoi
Prête ton oreille à mes paroles, folle
Tu me fais peur à mort c’est pas drôle
Tu dois me laisser en paix
Une fois pour jamais
Va-t’en et laisse-moi en paix
Arrête- toi je te prie et pense un peu
Trouve une nouvelle victime pour ton jeu
Tu dois me laisser en paix
Une fois pour jamais
Va-t’en et laisse-moi en paix

I think you're one of the few people who have been encouraged to talk about this and one of the only ones who have done something good in such disease. Fanaticism is never good , always goes to extremes in people who do not know how to measure their emotions.
I loved , love theme , love the video. It is a pleasure to hear you from this part of the planet.
Greetings from Argentina.
P.S. Hopefully you can see this message.

Creo que eres una de las pocas personas que se ha animado a hablar de esto y uno de los únicos que ha hecho algo bueno dentro de tanta enfermedad. El fanatismo nunca es bueno, siempre llega a los extremos en personas que no saben medir sus emociones.
Me encanto, amo el tema, amo el vídeo. Es un placer oírte desde esta parte del planeta.
Saludos desde Argentina.
pd. Ojala puedas ver este mensaje.

After listening to this song over 100 times since I first discovered it yesterday.. I started feeling like he's talking to me and tell me to leave him alone!!

@Atronauta
Jajajaja
@missen7443
🤣😂Same here! I have been listening to this song for a couple of years now :)
@kaitofromspace
I can relate
@Ivan-do8rn
Then leave him alone
@AnyaKandybka
He did a Russian version too, I’m surprised that he redid the dance and everything, in this video the words sync with the lips, and in the Russian one too, so he did this one so well.
@imthecoolestguyalive
I like, how here it's "Why won't you leave me alone?!", and in the Russian version it's "Ты достала меня!", translating literally to "You annoy me!", or "You have driven me up a wall!", in English it's a desperate plea, and in Russian it's an accusation. Fun!
@thasaneewilmeth1100
I know I realized that the lips sync in both videos.
