1898, Gustaf Fröding, Gralstänk [Grail sprinklings]:Jag köpte min kärlek för pengar,
för mig var ej annan att få.
Sjung vackert, i skorrande strängar.
Sjung vackert om kärlek ändå.
Den drömmen, som aldrig besannats,
som dröm var den vacker att få.
För den, som ur Eden förbannats,
är Eden ett Eden ändå.
- I bought my love for money,
for me was no other to get.
Sing beautifully, in jangling strings.
Sing beautifully of love yet.
That dream, which has never come true,
as a dream it was beautiful to get.
For one , who out of Eden has been banished,
is Eden an Eden yet.
1990, Grymlings (lyrics and music), “Mitt bästa för dig [My best for you]”, in Grymlings:Kärleken, är en annorlunda lek. Ett spel vi kan spela, för de som tror på den. Finns det en, med lite solidaritet, går dagen att leva, natten att sova.- Love , is a different kind of game. A game we can play, for those who believe in it. If there's someone, with a little solidarity, it's possible to live the day, sleep the night.
1993, “Eloise”, Gert Lengstrand (lyrics), Lasse Holm (music)performed by Arvingarna:Eloise, är vi mer än bara vänner? Så visa vad du känner, och sen får känslorna bestämma. Eloise, även vindarna kan vända. För mig är du den enda. Vår kärlek den är värd ett högre pris, Eloise.- Eloise, are we more than just friends? So show what you feel, and then we let the feelings decide . Eloise, the tide can also turn . For me you are the only one. Our love is worth a higher price, Eloise.
