Lyrics from Diggiloo Thrush

Aldri I Livet (English translation: "Never In my Life") was the Norwegian entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1981, performed in Norwegian by Finn Kalvik.

The song is a ballad, with Kalvik telling his lover that "Never in my life have I thought of leaving you", and asking whether she thinks of him when he is not with her.

The song was performed thirteenth on the night (following Ireland's Sheeba with Horoscopes and preceding the United Kingdom's Bucks Fizz with Making Your Mind Up). At the close of voting, it had received the dreaded nul points, placing 20th (last) in a field of 20.

It was succeeded as Norwegian representative at the 1982 Contest by Jahn Teigen & Anita Skorgan with Adieu.
