“Om du var ett hav vore jag en våg. Om du var himmelen skulle jag ha vingar. Om du var ett regn hade jag var't [varit] hav och land. Om du var musik vore jag en sång. Om du var vidderna ville jag va' [vara] vinden. Men jag skulle inte va' [vara] nånting om du inte fanns.”

[Literally translated for illustration – see the link for a more natural translation] If you were an ocean [sea], were I a wave. If you were the sky, I would have wings. If you were a rain, had I been sea and land. If you were music, were I a song. If you were the plains, I wanted to be the wind. But I would not be anything if you did not exist.
