Eurovision Song Contest Wiki


Fångad av en stormvind was the Swedish entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 1991 in Rome performed by Carola Häggkvist. It was Häggkvist's second go at the contest after a third-place finish in Munich in 1983.

It was performed 8th on the night following Luxembourg and preceding France. At the close of voting, it was tied for first place with the French entry on 146 points, both songs receiving 4 sets of 12-point scores. However, when it came to the next step of the count-back procedure, the advantage swung in Carola's favor as she received 5 sets of 10-point scores compared to 2 sets for Amina of France. This count-back gave Carola the win and Sweden its third victory overall.

Had the current tiebreaker rules come into effect, Carola would have lost to Amina because 1 less country voted for her song over the French entry (18-17).

During the performance, the sound failed inside the venue but Carola kept singing (the television viewers and the juries could still hear it perfectly). For the winner's reprise, she performed the song both in English (first verse/chorus, second part of the bridge and final chorus) and the original Swedish (first verse/chorus and first part of the bridge).

Lyrics[]

Jag har aldrig slutat tro
Att efter varje natt väntar gryningen
Fast jag inte kan förstå
Så finns det tid för skratt när jag börjar om igen

Känner doften från en stilla ocean
Plötsligt står jag i en levande orkan

Jag är fångad av en stormvind, fast för dig
Ingenting kan hindra mig när det blåser i mitt hjärta
Fångad av en stormvind natt och dag
Här finns bara du och jag, och det ljus som himlen lämnat kvar

Det är dags att ge sig av
För stunder som har flytt kommer aldrig mer
Reser ut på öppet hav
Där allting blir som nytt i den framtid som du ger

Utan saknad lämnar jag min trygga hamn
Fri men ändå bunden till en öppen famn

Jag är fångad av en stormvind, fast för dig
Ingenting kan hindra mig när det blåser i mitt hjärta
Fångad av en stormvind natt och dag
Här finns bara du och jag, och det ljus som himlen lämnat kvar

Vi går tillsammans, förenad av kärlekens band
Min längtan vaknar när du ler och räcker mig din hand

Jag är fångad av en stormvind
Fångad av en stormvind, (fast för dig)
Ingenting kan hindra mig när det blåser i mitt hjärta
Fångad av en stormvind natt och dag
Här finns bara du och jag, och det ljus som himlen lämnat kvar

(Fångad av en stormvind)
Jag är fångad av en stormvind

I have never stopped believing
That after every night waits the dawn
Even though I can't understand
There's time for laughter when I start all over again

I can smell the scent from a quiet ocean
Suddenly I'm in the middle of a vivid hurricane

I am captured by a stormwind, stuck on you
Nothing can stop me, when it's blowing in my heart
Captured by a stormwind night and day
Only you and I are here, and the light that heaven left behind

It is time to move on
For the moments that have passed, never come back
Travelling on an open sea
Where everything is like new in the future you give

I'm leaving my safe harbour without missing it
Free, but still tied to open arms

I am captured by a stormwind, stuck on you
Nothing can stop me, when it's blowing in my heart
Captured by a stormwind night and day
Only you and I are here, and the light that heaven left behind

We are walking together, united by the bonds of love
My longing is awakened, when you smile and give me your hand

I am captured by a stormwind
Captured by a stormwind, (stuck on you)
Nothing can stop me, when it's blowing in my heart
Captured by a stormwind night and day
Only you and I are here, and the light that heaven left behind

(Captured by a stormwind)
I am captured by a stormwind
