1982, Adolphson & Falk, “Mer jul ”, in Eldorado. Stjärnornas musik. :Jag är en lugn person med takt och ton. Måttfull och balanserad. Jag är tyst och still och det ska mycket till, innan jag blir exalterad. Men jag har en last som håller mig fast, i ett järngrepp varje vinter. När året är slut och snön ligger djup, och slädarnas medar slinter.- I am a peaceful person, with tact and tone . Moderate and balanced. I am quiet and still and it will take a lot, before I get excited. But I have a vice that seizes me in an iron grip every winter. When the year is over and the snow lies deep, and the sleighs' runners slip.
