    • 1869, “Sov du lilla vide ung (Videvisan) [Sleep, little willow young (The Willow Song)]”, Zachris Topelius (lyrics), Alice Tegnér (music)‎:
      Sov, du lilla vide ung. Än så är det vinter. Än så sova [old present tense plural form, now "sover" – the present tense plural used to be identical to the infinitive for all verbs except vara] björk och ljung, ros och hyacinter. Än så är det långt till vår, innan rönn i blomma står. Sov, du lilla vide. Än så är det vinter. Solskensöga ser på dig. Solskensfamn dig vaggar. Snart blir grönt på skogens stig, och var blomma flaggar. Än en liten solskensbön: Vide liten blir så grön. Solskensöga ser dig. Solskensfamn dig vaggar.
      Sleep, little willow young . It is still winter . Yet sleep birch and heather, rose and hyacinths. Spring is still a long way off , before rowan is in bloom . Sleep, little willow. It is still winter. Sunshine's eye watches you . Sunshine's arms rock you . Soon the forest path will be green , and all the flowers fly their flags . Yet one little sunshine prayer : Willow little turns so green. Sunshine's eye sees you. Sunshine's arms rock you.
    • 1960, Britt Lindeborg, “Hej, mitt vinterland [Hey , my winterland]”, in Julefrid med Carola [Christmas peace / serenity with Carola]‎, performed by Carola:
      Hej, mitt vinterland, nu är jag här. Nu biter frosten i min kind, ty kall är kvällen. Hej, mitt vinterland, se månen där. Den lyser kyligt trind / kring [differs between versions] på mörka himlapällen. Bjällrans klang friden stör, när vi genom skogen kör. Bofink uti grannens topp, förlåt att vi väckte dig opp. Hej, mitt vinterland, nu är jag här. Och vinter ["vintern" (definite) in some versions] / på vinterholiday [possibly the original lyrics, then misunderstood or changed], håll i dig, nu blinkar stugans ljus mot mig, i mitt vita vinterland.
      Hey , my winterland, now I am here. Now the frost bites my cheek, for the evening is cold. Hey, my winterland, look at the moon there. It shines cool and plump / coolly around in the dark canopy of the sky. The sound of the bell disturbs the peace as we ride through the forest. Chaffinch at the top of the spruce, we're sorry for waking you up . Hey, my winterland, now I am here. And winter, brace yourself / on winter holiday , now the lights of the cottage twinkle at me, in my white winterland.
