Sol, Vind Och Vatten
Sol, vind och vatten (, "Sun, wind and water") is a song written by Swedish lyricist Kenneth Gärdestad and composer Ted Gärdestad. First recorded by Lena Andersson, the song was released as a single in October 1972. Ted Gärdestad recorded the song for his 1973 album ''Ted.'' Context By the second verse, the birth of Jesus is apparent, but in Sweden the song is strongly associated with the summertime and not Christmastime. Many people interpret ''dig'' "you" as a human being, and not God or Jesus. Later during the 1970s, 1980s and early 1990s, the term ''Sol, vind och vatten became associated with the issue of energy politics, with protests against nuclear power yelling: *-Vad skall väck? -Barsebäck! (-What shall be gone? - Barsebäck!) *-Vad skall in? -Sol och vind! (-What shall come in? - Sun and wind!) A Framåt fredag version, written by Peter Sundblad and Lars Gunnar Övermyr, was also called Sol, vind & vatten, but actually had an energy political theme.

Swedish-language Songs
Swedish ( ) is a North Germanic language spoken predominantly in Sweden and in parts of Finland. It has at least 10 million native speakers, the fourth most spoken Germanic language and the first among any other of its type in the Nordic countries overall. Swedish, like the other Nordic languages, is a descendant of Old Norse, the common language of the Germanic peoples living in Scandinavia during the Viking Era. It is largely mutually intelligible with Norwegian and Danish, although the degree of mutual intelligibility is largely dependent on the dialect and accent of the speaker. Written Norwegian and Danish are usually more easily understood by Swedish speakers than the spoken languages, due to the differences in tone, accent, and intonation. Standard Swedish, spoken by most Swedes, is the national language that evolved from the Central Swedish dialects in the 19th century and was well established by the beginning of the 20th century.
