Lyrics from Diggiloo Thrush

Lenge Leve Livet (English translation: "Long Live Life") was the Norwegian entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1984, performed in Norwegian by Dollie de Luxe.

The song is a modern ballad, with the duo singing the praises of life. They explain that it makes sense to live to the full, because nobody knows for sure what the future - or indeed the afterlife - will bring.

The song was performed fifth on the night (following Spain's Bravo with Lady, Lady and preceding the United Kingdom's Belle & The Devotions with Love Games). At the close of voting, it had received 29 points, placing 17th in a field of 19.

It was succeeded as Norwegian representative at the 1985 Contest by Bobbysocks with La det swinge.
