Alvedansen " ( English : " The elf dance " ) was the Norwegian entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 2006 , performed in Norwegian by Christine Guldbrandsen . This was the first time since the 1998 entry and the introduction of the " free language rule " that the Norwegian entry had not been performed entirely in English , although an English recording of the song was made five years later . The song was originally intended to be released on Guldbrandsen 's third album , however her record company ( and Norwegian television ) persuaded her to enter it in the Melodi Grand Prix instead
