- 1984, “Vargsången [The wolf song]”, Astrid Lindgren (lyrics), Björn Isfält (music)[1]performed by Lena Nyman:
- Vargen ylar i nattens skog. Han vill men kan inte sova. Hungern river hans vargabuk, och det är kallt i hans stova. Du varg, du varg, kom inte hit. Ungen min får du aldrig.
- The wolf howls in the forest of the night. He wants to sleep but cannot. ["He wants to but cannot sleep" – "He wants to X" is "Han vill X"] [The] hunger tears his wolf's belly, and it is cold in his stove [archaic, dialectal, in the dated English sense]. Hey [du (“you”) can be used as a vocative] wolf, hey wolf, do not come here [hither, to here]. My child you will never have.
