    • 1984, “Vargsången [The wolf song]”, Astrid Lindgren (lyrics), Björn Isfält (music)‎[1]performed by Lena Nyman:
      Vargen ylar i nattens skog. Han vill men kan inte sova. Hungern river hans vargabuk, och det är kallt i hans stova. Du varg, du varg, kom inte hit. Ungen min får du aldrig.
      The wolf howls in the forest of the night. He wants to sleep but cannot. ["He wants to but cannot sleep" – "He wants to X" is "Han vill X"] [The] hunger tears his wolf's belly, and it is cold in his stove [archaic, dialectal, in the dated English sense]. Hey [du (“you”) can be used as a vocative] wolf, hey wolf, do not come here [hither, to here]. My child you will never have.
    Vargarna ylade i skogen
    The wolves howled in the forest
    Synonyms: gråben, tasse, ulv
  2. a tree with a large crown and thick branches which steals sunlight and space from other smaller trees
  3. (colloquial) reject; a rejected defective product in a production line
