    • 1891, “Det var dans bort i vägen [There was a dance down the road]”, Gustaf Fröding (lyrics), Helfrid Lambert (music), performed by Sven-Ingvars:
      Över bygden låg tindrande stjärnfager natten. Det låg glimtande sken över skvalpande vatten, i den lövskogsbekransade sjön. Det kom doft ifrån klövern på blommande vallar, och från kådiga kottar på granar och tallar, som beskuggade kullarnas krön.
      Over the area [populated countryside area / district] lay twinkling, star-fair the night. There lay glimmering shine over lapping ["squalping" – onomatopoeic] water, in the [deciduous] forest-enwreathed lake. There came scent from the clover on flowering fields, and from resinous cones on spruces and pines, that shadowed the crests of the hills.
