    • 1995, Peter Grönvall, Maria Rådsten, Nanne Grönvall (lyrics and music), “Det vackraste [The most beautiful thing ]”, performed by Cecilia Vennersten:
      Det vackraste jag vet, är att se dig när du sover. Här råder stilla frid, och jag glömmer både rum och tid. Du ligger här bredvid, och jag känner hur du andas. Att älskas utav dig, är det vackraste för mig.
      The most beautiful thing I know, is to watch you when you sleep. Here is quiet peace, and I forget both space and time. You lie here next to me, and I can feel you breathing. To be loved by you, is the most beautiful thing to me.
